Two months ago, I bought a used car - a Mercury Milan - for $12,000 with 57,000 miles on the clock.

I though you were a Ford Taurus collector?

Tom owned at least 3 different year/model Taurus cars.
"I'll believe that Tom owns a 2007 Taurus X when I see a photo of the
car in his driveway."

More confusion about year/model Taurus's owned by Tom.
"Tommy doesn't apparently really know what he drives."

"I don't see how he could drive the 2012 Taurus in 2017 and in 2022 (5
years later) be driving a 2008 Taurus X, unless he first destroyed the
2012 Taurus."

What happened to all those Ford Taurus or Taurus X cars that you
wrecked?  Were they part of this carnage?

"I got a severe concussion in 2010 that led to a type of seizures that
I didn't remember afterwards. This wasn't discovered and treated
properly until 2012 after 4 car wrecks luckily without any injuries"

The last year Ford made the Mercury Milan was 2011.
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_Milan>
"Coinciding with Mercury's 2010 discontinuation, Milan sales ended
after a shortened 2011 model year; the final vehicle was manufactured
on December 17, 2010."

Did you really pay $12,000 for this car with 57,000 miles that is at
least 14 years old?  According KBB (Kelly Blue Book), it's probably
worth about half of what you allegedly paid.  If it was an earlier
year, probably less:

<https://www.kbb.com/mercury/milan/>
"2011 Mercury Milan pricing starts at $7,118 for the Milan Sedan 4D,
which had a starting MSRP of $22,750 when new. The range-topping 2011
Milan Hybrid Sedan 4D starts at $4,566 today, originally priced from
$30,950."

So, when are you going to add your Mercury Milan to growing list of
car wrecks?
