Are they original wheels? Don't look right to me, but may just be the colour.

All just looks a bit odd to me - I'd be wary.

Dunno about the interior but those look like the optional 18" wheels to me.

As for buying it - at $20k it looks a bargain to me!!! But do remember it was a $100k new and servicing costs reflect that price not the current one!

Would I buy it? Yes - been delighted with our V6 D3

The front grille does not look original, looks more like a D4 or Rangie style grille.

Probably cloth seats originally the pockets on the back of the seats are not right, colour doesn't match. However they did a good job.
Bling grill and wheels do not look original.
Someone has spent a lot of money on it by the look of it.
Find out the vin and ask a dealer the service history for recalls etc.

The grill looks like a modified RRS grill and the wheels look like standard RRS 18" rims that have been painted.

If I call correctly there was a trim option that mixed colours so may be original.

If they are RRS wheels they could be illegal, they may not have the correct load rating ISTR.

There is only a few hundred Kgs weight difference between the two cars - RRS are of a slightly lower load rating than D3 wheels but still within the load requirements. This was done to death about 18 months ago so a search might find the discussion.

If those tyres are 285/60/18 then a diameter of 799mm may mean they are not legal size in your state, certainly not in QLD where max legal is 778mm (763+15), this may get you a new set of your choice.

The rules have now changed in QLD. You're now allowed 50mm bigger, as of 1st November last year.
