How can be saying it looks new be understating it?

It is either new, or not.

It can't be better than new, surely? You may upgrade it so it has
better features than new, or re-paint it if the standard "new"
paintjob is crap, but surely in most cases isn't "new" as good as it
gets?

It can LOOK better than new if the painter of panels can do the job. In
fact, it's not even hard because most factory paint jobs are "restricted"
due to emmision controls at the manufacturing stage which means less paint
and lacquer is applied than it really needs.

You may upgrade it so it has
