I KNOW where the busted rim pic happened....

I know about the paint spots on the trunk lid and roof, the dents/creases in the roof.

But the interior, that car was in brand new condition interior wise, he always kept it so clean that it would seem like the car was never driven a day in his life.

dont think so.. i spend days upon nights cleaning that car... one afternoon could be dedicated just on the center console buttons
I worked at a detail shop from the time I was 12 until I was 18. It takes 3 hours to do a full detail on a typical car. The pics of what it looks like at the new owners place looks to be about like what some of the better looking cars we got in looked like. (you would not believe how bad some cars could be, that one looks very good compared to some I've seen) In that 3 hours I could make it look virtually as good as it did when you had it, but when thats all you do all day everyday you get quicker at it. In 5 hours, other than the minor damage he did to it, I could definately have it looking very close to what it looked like in the original pics.

to some people a car is just car. Time to pick up and move on.
Exactly. Once you get rid of it they are free to do what they want with it. I for one would've been very pissed if a previous owner of my car comes knocking on my door yelling at me about MY car.

man that was a nice looking car. nobody is allowed to smoke in my car. I barely let people drink anything in my car. I guess I just don't understand how you could let the interior of your car get that bad. I would be embaressed every time someone got in it.
