Someone questioned the miles, and yes, it is a good idea to 
do a CARFAX on any car, but check out the pics of the interior!

If the car had a lot more than the stated miles, no way the 
drivers seat would look that good.  Yes there is noticable 
wear on the lower edge of the bolster, but I have rarely 
seen ANY SHO with over 50,000 miles without some wear there.

The seat is not all flat and pushed down.  Tells us two 
things.  the owner for most of those miles is not a big 
person, and they didn't get in and out of the car dozens of 
times a day.  It is possible some detail company made the 
leather look better, but they won't go to the trouble to 
remove the upholstery and put in new foam.  THat seat is 
original, at least under the skin.  Steering wheel looks 
good too, and original, although it could be resprayed, but 
I would bet it isn't.

Yes, internet pics are very low rez and it is hard to tell 
exactly.

Not sure how someone could determine that the plates were 
from 2000 (implying the car hasn't been driven since then) 
the pictures show a CA plate, but I guess you would have to 
know the exact style of plate, and how often they are 
changed and if the RED sticker is current.

The car still looks pretty darn nice to me!
