    Smile but otherwise it is in/under good condition

    The car needs a few minor repairs, but otherwise it is in/under good condition.



    For a start, do both in and under fit into the above context? If yes, are there slightly differenct flavours between them?
    Second, is it correct to interpret "otherwise" as "in other respects?" Thanks.

    The car needs a few minor repairs, but otherwise (~ in other ways; except for what has been referred to (i.e., a few minor reparis); in a different condition; under other circumstances & etc.)it is in/*under good condition.
