Another issue that springs to mind is verification - in talking with the
previous owner of my car (the second owner who bought the car when it
was 6 years old and had it car for 20 years), I think that my car has
much of the original trim, including the carpets and top.  Wear seems
consistent with that, but I can't document it, only cite his claims.
