- Driver's seat wear. With that few miles the seats should still look "almost" new. If there are any pronounced wear and rub patterns on the outside bolster then it is suspect.

- Floor mat and carpet wear. Specifically in the heel pad and foot rest areas. If there is already a noticeable wear pattern, then it is suspect.

- Noticeable wear on the brake pedal. Look for shiny worn spots on the edges of the metal. Are all the rubber nubs even and not worn down or rounded off?

- Scratches and uneven finish on the shift ****. If the shift **** is worn shiny smooth on either side or on top, then it is suspect.

- Inspect the brake pads. With that few miles they should have about 90% left. If they are noticeably worn, it is suspect.

- At 3-4K miles, the tires will show some wear and probably won't have many rubber "hairs" left. If the tires look NEW NEW and have 100% full tread depth then they may have been replaced already, that makes it suspect.

- If the tires have major wear on the outside edges and have notable tread gone, then suspect it.

- Last, but not least, the "Window Cleaner Test" FTW! Take a can of aerosol window cleaner like Stoner Invisible Glass or similar brand(must be aerosol. Normal spray bottles like Windex don't work as well. Spray the top 8 inches of the windshield with the cleaner and wipe off the foam. quickly look and watch as the residue evaporates. If there was a Track Experience Sticker(they are LARGE) on the window at some time, there will be a "ghost" image of it that evaporates at a slower rate than the rest of the glass. It sound funny, but it sticks out like a sore thumb. It's hard to miss.

Hope this helps.
