Ya, I assumed it was brandy-new !!!
I (and my family, now long gone...) only bought domestic.
We had a long string of Imperials, 1 Lemon Cadillac, (that caused the parental figures to switch to Imperials. Then the bought a T-bird in 1959. My Dad called it Tee-Turd ! Replaced with a 1960 Imperiial.
Mom got a 1972 Caddillac Coup De Ville. By 1974 she was calling it "Coupe 'DeCRAP..... Traded for a 1974 Imperial.
I personally have had 3 Imperials, 1 Caddy, 1 Pontiac GTO, and a Buick Gran Sport 455 Skylark.
Since the last Imperial in 1993, I switched to Lincoln & Jeep. Wife has a 10 year old, absolutely MINT Cherokee 4X4 Sport Limited.
Car is 100% flawless. E-one stops her to try & buy it.
I have a 2003 Town Car. Flawless automobile.
Dealer called me to find out why I never come in for service. I told them nothing is broken, all is fine, I do come for maintenance.
Our Son just bought Foreign, so we (the parentals) are trying to learn Japenesse so we can converse with his car!
Drive safe, enjoy, be well.
