Is it a good time to buy a pre-owned car?

for me, good time would be someone is leaving the country and willing the car at very low price.

Oct / fall time is good time to buy second sporty cars.

From lower end sporty cars such as S2000/350Z/G35 coupe/MX5  etc ... to M3/M5/M6/Cayman/Boxster to higher end sports cars such as 911/Lambo/Ferrari etc ..

However, not best time ( in term of pricing ) to buy SUV ...

Buy before July 2010 because I think you'll pay more for HST!!!

i thought now is the best time to buy '09 model car, since '10 model is coming out.  
do you need finance?  what is the interest rate you can get from your 1st/2nd hand car?  still has warranty?  does your 2nd hand car needs new tires or... soon.  how long are you going to keep it?  what is the re-sale value on your 1st/2nd hand car?  just count all the factors, then you will know which is a better deal.

its bad time because due to recession people have been holding onto their car longer resulting in less used car selection = higher auction pricing etc.

Whenever you really need a car (or second car) urgently, you have to buy it anyways, no matter "good" or "bad" time, but this is the time!
