The exclamation point doesn't bother me at all,
But everyone knows what 'brand new' means.
That means as originally assembled and built new from the factory.
Like each part was made from scratch, 'new-new', then assembled, etc.

First bullet point says "BRAND NEW! 2.0 liter HIGH OUTPUT engine (135 hp
@ 4800 rpm) 10:1 compression ratio with an anti knock sensor."

That ALMOST says "new engine" to me, and without the "!" I'd say it WAS
a brand new engine. But that "!" worries me.
