It might have been built in 2012 . . . so there’s a good chance it’s 7 years old by now

Nothing unusual here

I see plenty of model year 2013 model years with damaged clear coat in my area . . . various brands, for that matter

If you live in an area with lots of sun, don’t park in the garage and aren’t absolutely \_\_\_\_ about washing and waxing the car, this will happen, and often sooner rather than later
