Wear, including that on driver seat bolster is consistent with 82k car.
New buyer would need to change out timing chain, tensioner and guide rails due to age issues, especially guide rails probably have spidering and hairline cracks and will be brown and about to crumble.
Needs to be checked for water leaks into windows (especially rear window into trunk), operation of seat belt extenders and sunroof, aircon blows cold, vacuum locks operate well, no high idle issues, trans shifts firm and correctly, power seats and windows all operate properly, motor mounts good, no front suspension issues, or SLS problems.

*Knock on wood* Guess I should consider myself lucky to be hitting the 1/4 million mark and have so few problems, hopefully I can hit 350,000 before the rear window seal starts to leak or I start having vacuum problems. If I was to buy this car I would defiantly go into it knowing that the 5.6 engines need "refreshing" every 100,000 or so miles. (I've done some homework
)
