I highly doubt that it was a flood victim, but stranger things have happened...Anyway, the carfax report showed that it was a lease here in the Northeast and had two owners. Although I do like the seats, I am upset that it is not "original". I will definitely bring this up to the manager as the car needs to go in for some TLC anyway(Fog light cap, fogged headlights, wind noise from drivers side window). We'll see!!
