It was very used, there was a good amount of rust on the inside for some reason, I did my best to get it out with some PB blaster and a wire brush but it was still pretty bad. If I were you I would bite the financial bullet and get one new, I’m certainly going to do that soon cause my car still isn’t starting perfectly. This is a good product if you don’t have a lot of money and need something cheap to get by on while you get money for a new one.
