Question about dc2r interior condition

I test drove a 99 type r today, with 130,000km's on the odometer. Price was 20.5k from a dealer, drive away with new tyres, warranty and 12 months rego. Car drove nice, problem was the interior was really crappy. The seats had many faded patches and the passenger side doors cloth was showing some sort of white stuff through it.

Im just wondering, is this typical of aged dc2r interiors to get like this?

Would the car still be a good buy?

Here are some pics of some examples:

LoL i didnt think it was possible to get sum action in the back seat of a teg... looks like the previous owner proved me wrong :p
get a blue light n c if they really show up haha

yeh was gonna say the same thing, those marks look very very suss ;)

LoL
im sure its nothin some dry cleaning cant fix up

The previous owner must of been some horny bugger!

maybe they used some cleaner which was a bit too strong..

the interior of that is actually in pretty good condition.

Recaro make nice seats but there not the most durable or long lasting. For 20grand its a steal

good price... high k's but not ridiculous. Seats seem pretty good for 130K...thought he white stain on the door begs some questions...

Another point to lower the price somemore?

i've seen this happen when botchy steam cleans are done! its when the chemicals used arent vaccummed up properly and they leave white stains like this.. also i think it could be the type of chemical they use, some react to each other or the fabric and this could result! just a guess.. but i've seen similar stains like this happen at my work before! not the most professional nor satisfying results as customers have complained.. lol :wave:

you can get a much lower price than that, about 18k. Look at the condition and the km... and plus its already 99, that's not recent. Put your foot down!! :P

Do what I do when I buy a car.

Now you know the car, you know it's $20K, you know the dealer knows your interested. So when you go back, go back with a bank cheque for $18k. Listen to all his uneducated shit he'll throw at you, and go sounds good. THen when it comes to do the real deal, pull that cheque out and be absolutely ready to walk away,

He'll pretend as if you just killed his first born, then he'll say his boss will kill him, then he'll say some shit about not making any money from this (now is a nice time to inform him you honestly dont care about his problems). Then when you'd had enough of his excuses, just say you have 5 minutes to give me an answer or I'm out of here and I won't be back.

Guarantee you the car yard paid $15k for that car, and I guarantee you you'll get it for $18k. Don't accept any bullsihit like 'removing 12 months warranty' or anything.
