    Hola PIM

    Es muuuy dificil traducir una frase tan porteña. Habria q buscar un idiom que significara algo parecido, peor olvidate de traducirlo literal, xq no tiene ningun sentido.

    Uh! Mira lo que encontramos en este link: Wallys: Argentine Colloquialism and Culture

    joya (nunca taxi) (lit. jewellery, a treasure) 1 exp 'cool, sweet, etc.' 2 adj perfect, excellent condition Note cars are qualified in good condition by saying 'never taxi' because taxis are so beat on Click on the Synonym to see it's definition mató, jamón del medio Click on the Keyword to see a list of slang related by that idea or theme bueno, transporte

    Espero q sirva!!!!

    el equivalente sería "mint condition" - "pristine condition" pero no tiene el sentido coloquial de "joya nunca taxi" :-)
    Habría quer ver si algún forista nativo del inglés se anima a traducirlo.
