How worn is your interior?

agree here. these parts wear the most and you can replace/update..I know exactly what you mean, i saw some bad interior wear and paintwork that made me cry when i was looking.
I did eventually find a good one but i would say dont let these little things put you of a good car.
£120 for new steering wheel inserts and about £50 for both door handle trims. Fit them and your car will be looking as it did at the factory.
The seat bolsters can be refreshed by a leather company quite cheap to.
You'll commonly see scratching on the plastics under the handbrake, this is trickier to replace.
Its hassle, and i know you'll be thinking that at the money your spending it should look better. But, just consider a refresh part of the purchase price.

The steering wheel rubber / Matt parts are the weakest link - not very durable at all
Mine has some marks but not too bad, but I can see how they get marked - for me it's not a sign of abuse in itself tbh it's a poor quality design ( BMW to note!)
When I bought its the whole package that matters / is to be considered not a single item / issue
My Audi has this rubberised coating on the electric window surround - its ten years old now and heavily marked - again coz its a crap design / not durable enough - but the Audi is not an abused car - far from it
Bolster - I keep promising to use the memory settings to roll the seat back to exit / enter the car which would cut down on wear but it's just too much trouble lol

19k on mine, no real wear, bolsters still firm. Grey Oregon leather and its a right bitch to keep clean. I've bought a seat cover to use for days I'm at work and then just chuck it in the boot for normal days.
Also taught the fiancé to hover in and out as not to damage/wear her seat :lol:
