He bought his car cheap
He bought his car cheap.
He bought his car secondhand.
Do predicate adjectives cheap and secondhand have adverbial interpretation in sentences above?
----------------
I think they have the adverbial relation to the verb "bought" and both can be replaced by other adjuncts with the adverbial characteristic:
He bought his car for a song.
He bought his car from a secondhand-car dealer.

The words "cheap" and "secondhand" are adverbs as well as adjectives. "For a song" and "from a used car lot" function as adverbs also.
