Pictures like that make me wonder.....this looks used to me, especially looking at the markings/wear along the top edge. This is the area that might rub against the wood grain console cover which should not be there on a unit that was otherwise never installed. But perhaps I'm a sceptic/jaded. To be fair, there is no cracking or fading on the front.
