Actually, the gentleman I purchased her from took GREAT care of her. For an '04 not to have any dings/scratches/blemishes inside or out, I think is a testament to how much care an owner takes. I was lucky to find exactly what I wanted in such great condition.

I do understand your assumption though. =) Who knows? Maybe mid-grade is different throughout the country. My car was bought in Florida and brought back to Oklahoma. Either way, she's in good hands and I'd like to do my best to take care of her.
