Marx:

The car has 51,000 miles on it. I bought it used at a Hyundai
dealership lot last September with 44,000 miles on it. I went there
to look at a new Elantra, but they said that they had a used Saturn
that had just been traded in a couple of hours before. The previous
owner had taken care of it and so far I have not had to spend anything
on it other than oil changes.
