You don't know what you're talking about, IMO.

I have experienced virtually no fading on the blue interior in my S2k with 58k miles. Seems like the blue interiors the OP witness might have been neglected.

After looking through all of the pictures again of the various Suzukas for sale I think it is in fact the flash washing out the color as stated by ltswb and s2kapow. I do notice now that pics taken up close with the flash make the seats looks faded but on pics taken further back they look fine, on the same car that is.

Yeah I think its because Suzuka was only offered in 02-06 and there aren't to many blue interiors. The funny thing is, I have yet to see a really bad condition blue interior on our cars..

I've noticed that in (indoor) photographs, Suzuka's interior is very sensitive to light. My interior is probably 9/10 and here the seats look "dirty" due to the shadow/reduced light of the windshield. You'll notice the very top of the seat looks fine due to no "shadow".

Passenger's side...same effect - looks clean on the outside but "dirty" on the seat bottom:

Now with a flash...everything looks fine!

No problem. Glad it helped you.

Try to have him/her take pics of the interior with the top down in daylight. It'll be your best shot at seeing if the interior is okay.
