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!
