That's the truth of it.
Living here has taught me that Yanks stereotypically seem to have an obsession with 'new', 'factory new', 'like new', 'restored' and pulling things apart down to the smallest, most insignificant bit, cleaning and polishing it and putting it all back together again.

The rest of us; it's pretty much pick it up, dust it off, look it over, wipe it out and off to the range we go.
