Definition of perfect condition
How about a 76 Caddy, in Phoenix of all places, advertised as being in perfect as new condition, well maintained, with no hint of rust.
Which turned out to have rust all along the underneath of the vinyl top below the rear windshield, had been rear-ended so the rear bumpter was slanted down at about 30 degrees, and the chrome "fins" in which the tail lights were mounted were pointing upwards away from the car at a sharp angle. One tire was completely flat and could not be inflated the hole was to large and the spare could not be mounted because one of the lug holes in the metal rim had a large crack emanating from it. Oh yes. And it didn't shift out of first because, I discovered the tranny was bone dry!
Gotta love some peoples definition of perfect.
