Not lowered. Those back seats look pretty dirty though unless it's just the pic.

Looks like tires were transported back there and marked the seat backs.

I looked at this car too before I bought mine. Couple chips on the front bumper. I passed on it because of the back seats condition. I couldnt help but imagine how the car was really kept if the back seats looked like that...

It is bone stock.

Did you see the car in person? Were the seats indeed dirty? Anything else that stopped you from buying? I am seriously considering picking it up but I would have to fly out and then drive it back.

I did not see the car in person but based on what I was willing to pay, pictures, the price they offer me, and as stated before it steered me away and was not worth the trip. I am sure if the seats are indeed dirty you can clean and recondition the leather if needed. There seem to be some indentation on the seats so you probably need to fix that too. Found this video for indentation and if you do purchase the car it may help.

If you have the leisure/luxury to fly down there then at least you can do all your inspections to make a better decision. As long as it all checks out and they give you a good deal than go for it
