They would be getting replaced asap if it was my car. Car looks good but then I saw the seats and was like "WTF???"

How could any self respecting Audi owner let their car fall apart like that? I would expect that in an economy car for sale in a trailer park, but an Audi S4 for gods sake?

When the interior is that trashed, you can rest assured that the owner probably spent all the time under to hood maintaining it in good running order....

I bet someone used an overly agressive chemical to clean the lighter colored leather and it cause it to deteriorate much faster than normal.

I would be more concerned witht the "runs and drives good." Runs great!, Excellent coindition!, Perfect! These are things you usually hear when people are trying to sell a used car. An unenthusiastic "good" = it needs alot of work but manage to get from point A to B.
