Any gurus here... I need a help, please

After searching and searching I came across this car. The owner is claiming the car is 100% factory stock, no alteration done.This is 2005 model and looks like a base coupe for me (no cruise controls buttons on the steering wheel and no aluminum pedals), but somehow has a leather seats , but owner keep saying the car is 100% stock and no alteration done and this car a higher model than the base.Is possible that the 2005 base coupe without cruise controls on the steering wheels and with leather seats really touring coupe? Or more simple...is it looks like car made from available parts for quick sale?..small mileage 22K miles, no scratches and no dings. Only this pictures available.

Well, if it doesn't have a cruise control equipped steering wheel and the owner insists that it's unmodified it is not a touring model. No idea how the leather seats got there unless they were somehow taken as an option from the factory, and I'm not sure that was possible. I also see no seat heater controls in the centre console. Does it have a VDC button (it's a button about four or five inches up from where the gas flap release is on the left hand side of the dash)? Does it have the Bose stereo? It also has stock 17" wheels...looks an awful lot like the Base Model to me.

Spend your money how you like but there should be no way an '05 base model should be selling for $22K.

the spoiler is not stock and so is the radio antenna. The leather seats is kind of telling me to stay away. Smells fishy,

The dealer may have added the leather seats prior to selling it new. Some dealers add aftermarket upgrades to make the vehicle more saleable and to make additional profit.

most dealers don't know anything about the car other than what is generally listed online...its how I got mine for so cheap...
