“All right. Well, listen to this one. This might have been something that has been in the back of my colleague's mind over the years. I bet we all had a little bit of a fantasy about this car, a 1989 Jaguar XJS convertible, beautiful car, really a beautiful car, air-conditioning, power steering, power windows, power door locks, tilt wheel, AM/FM cassette, leather, alloy wheels, 7,125 bucks, 1989, 8 years old, the average age of a car in the United States. I think that we at least should have the average car. Now we all know that an automobile that is older than this, as my colleagues know, is not going to be worth, on average, 7,500 bucks. It is tough to find a car that is 8, 9, 10 years old that is worth 7,500 bucks, but yet that is the average age of the cars on the road, and millions and millions of Americans every single year purchase a car in that age category because they cannot afford to buy a brand new car. Are not they entitled to some minimal amount of information about whether or not the previous owner had a major crack-up with the car?”
