not so in this case... this was a corporate lease vehicle for management
types... my BIL drove it for his job... my mother got it about a year
before she lost her battle with pancreatic cancer... then i got it... it is
in pristine condition with a couple of relatively minor problems...

i've not gone under the dash or popped the door panel(s)...
