Default Low mileage but signs of wear

Hi people!
This car came up on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/351197627060?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AITBy carfax it's indeed a 62K miles car, but look at the steering wheel and seats, more like 262K miles car. Plus it was repainted, the engine bay is different color. What you guys thinking?

Wouldn't even look at it because it is not a GS400/GS430

I wouldn't touch this car.. Perhaps it has a new engine with that mileage, but your right, looks like it has closer to 260 on it and was poorly taken care of

I've got a 2000 GS300 with 180k+ miles on it with less wear and tear on the seats than that car. Unless somebody has been sleeping in the driver's seat, something is not right about this car.
