yes, you will see the code under the hood (white stick-on paper) or you can pull out the right panel in the frunk (where the light removal hole is located). You will see a the color code there

My guess is someone tried to clean the interior with the wrong cleaner. Something with bleach or some other very strong solvent causing discoloration. Maybe then tried with another to get the color right. Dug a deeper hole.

Big question ... how does she sound?!?

PJWE911,
She sounds very tight, no noises... No electrical issues of any kind, as far as i can tell a great car.... I dont think this was a flooded car...

I would say baby seat. Look at the vertical "creases" on the leather - most likely from a child seat sitting on there for a long time.

How does the other side look?

That's what I was thinking looking at the creases.
Now how you explain the stain on the passenger area though?

Sure did.....
I checked out everything you said, made sure IMS had been updated and so on... Some may opt for a "cleaner car", I will recondition and replace some parts of the interior.... Then i will drive the hell out of it till the wheels fall off, with all the appropriate maintenance of course....

thread resurection

SO i have a millennium and i've seen others with the same thing. No stain in the front, but big puddle shaped stains right in the middle of the back seats.

My car was in Texas for a while and the wood was pretty much toast from the heat. I'm pretty positive that the leather in the back stains like this with exposure to heat. there's patches of it near the rear glass as well. The good news is that it responds well to rejuvenation.
