InformalWhat is a "clunker"?
A clunker is an old, worn-out vehicle that is in poor condition. These cars are often unreliable, with mechanical problems and visible signs of wear. While they may still run, clunkers are usually not considered safe or efficient, and they are often close to being unusable. The term is sometimes used humorously or as a way to refer to a car that is no longer worth repairing or maintaining. People often drive clunkers when they are on a tight budget or just need a vehicle for short-term use.
Example
