Right, had a test drive today at a dealer (2012 car/50,000 miles)
1. "Leather" on car door where you would lean your elbow had a smooth shiny patch
2. Leather headrest on front passenger seat had another shiny spot
3. Seat stitching frayed where it meets the centre console (when you move it all the way forward)
4. The exterior condition was great, couldn't see any problems
My big question: this car still suffered from the ringing bell waste-gate rattle from 2000-3000rpm on a medium throttle. Should a 2012 car still have this problem? Is the noise completely eliminated with the clip fitted, or would a 2012 car have one fitted in the factory?
I won't be buying the car above based on the interior condition but I worried waste-gate rattle hasn't been completely fixed.
