Went to see an 30K KM AP1, very clean, matching VINs, no signs of accidents or anything. However the drivers seat bolster seemed to be worn too much for a car with only 30k on the odometer. The plastic trim on the centre console where the base of the hand rests on was also worn out significantly. Could these be signs of odometer tampering?
The car's interior compared to my daily driven 2015 IS350 with just under 30k KM shows much more signs of wear. Does anyone else's plastic trim by the shifter wear out that fast?

The plastic trim on ap1 consoles flakes, many owners take off the factory coating to make it look more uniform once it starts to flake. This is very common. I also see odd wear patterns on things like shifters, steering wheels, and consoles if the owner wears rings on their fingers and watches on their wrists.

If the rest of the car looks good I would not shy away because of the driver seat and console issue. Good luck.

Side note, I've been running Z2's now for almost 3 years and I'm not entirely a fan of how loud they become one they're close to being worn out.
I refuse to run anything less than an extreme performance tire on this car, so those of you with RE-71R's, what you thoughts? They're $7 cheaper each (LOL) but I'm curious to know how those of you who street your cars like them.

Ask jvf1 about RE-71R performance (wicked good)
and durability (7000 km bad)

The grip on them is really amazing though so I would trade the noise for grip any day of the week!

Great grip, but mine are almost done after one season (including 3500km on the Dragon trip)
Rears still have a bit of life left in them but the fronts are quite worn from camber and I had them flipped half way through the season to try to even them out.
Certainly not enough life left for next Spring's Dragon trip so not sure what I will do.
Still love these tires though.
