I'll throw in some $ compensation. Would have to also inspect and test drive the vehicle.

I live right down the street from them. My girlfriend bought her HS250h from them also. Cars are good but the deal is alittle unorganized.

I can tell just from the pictures that it has a melting interior. In the summer all those door panels, and probably dash, will be glistening wet and sticky to the touch. They'll develop dents/marks if they don't already.

I know this from experience, I bought mine used from Florida and have replaced my dash and all four door panels.

What do you mean by the deal is alittle unorganized?

The interior has a few scuffs on it specially the driver and passenger panels, however I think that the pictures were taken after the car was armorall. So do all cars from Florida do this?

I would stay away from that "Off Lease" place. They tend to have a lot of rebuilt title cars or cars that have been involved in accidents that car fax shows as never being in one.

The discoloration/uneven tone of the door panels is what it looks like when it's dry from not being in the sun...maybe it's being stored indoors right now. I dont know if the dash is melting or not. All I can tell you is that's what my panels looked like when they weren't in the sun (especially the pic of the rear passenger side door). Either be prepared to live with it or drop a couple thousand on their replacement...and yes, Florida cars are notorious for this, it's something about the heat + humidity.

I looked at what they had a while back. The majority of them had bad carfaxes and shoddy looking bodywork, too.
