Only tell tale signs it was even used were some chips on the driver's door wood trim which I replaced with a new part from ECS tuning as apparently all the used driver door pieces are cracked.
There were a few scuffs on both the front door pulls. I removed the rubber coating on them to show the shiny plastic underneath, but I'm still deciding if I like it or want to replace with new oem.
He used seat covers which I took off so even the seats look new, but without seat ventilation in the hot south I'm thinking of getting some new covers.
Came with factory Bluetooth for phone, added GROM bluetooth for music streaming and keeping the factory bluetooth for calls because it works great.
Everything else is original.
