“Estacionamento” was the word used in Chile.

“Aparcamento” sounds like some gringo making up words.

Once when my 1st husband and I were on the way to visit a friend working for an American company in Torreon, going through Monterrey we drove by a bunch of used car lots with “autos usados” signs-but one enterprising owner decided to be different-that sign said “autos semi-nuevos”, which awe thought was pretty funny...

I’d never seen it before then-that was in the late 70’s-and I’ve only seen it a time or two since.
