This is the nastiest car interior I have ever seen

What ever you paid for it I would add another few hundred for a good, deep detailing .

You haven't seen my mother in law's car.

Looks like it’s been in a flood. Better check that car very closely. Wholesalers buy these from insurance companies after floods because they often are electronically totaled. You don’t really get vents dirty like that any other way. I’m a painter in a body shop and we have a huge detail facility, they’re common.

Don't forget to check the air conditioner and filters. You don't want to be breathing that shit into your lungs.

It’s definitely been flooded. You only see dirt like that in the dash and vents on flood cars, or a convertible that sat with the top down for a few years. It was probably already filthy, now it’s hammered. When we get them we pull carpet and seats. You have to replace the padding under the carpet or it will have mold and pretty much the worst smell ever. Most of these cars are parted out but if they get them running they try to flip them cheap.

DUDE THAT HAS FLOOD DAMAGE

Depending what you paid it’s not necessarily a bad thing, but it’s well beyond what a regular detail shop will do. The cleaning required for something like that requires pretty significant disassembly of the interior. If you have a comfort level working on cars and maybe know a good Honda tech with portable diagnostics it can still be made a good car, but if you have no clue about cars and are just planning on having the work done at local shops it might end up being something you’re better off getting rid of. I don’t say this to be mean, but paying money for this vehicle suggests to me you aren’t super car bro.

Must be a prop from those movies that popped in 2012 about the end of the world.

why would anyone buy a used car without checking it out first?

Flood car was my first thought too, but this make sense. Driving in rural areas with windows down all the time and being a work vehicle didn't care to keep it clean.

Dude, it’s a flood car. You have to get it checked electronically and have a full diagnostic. I’m not saying it wasn’t a rural mail carrying vehicle, but it’s a car that has been submerged in a flood. Really wouldn’t recommend driving it.

If by rural we mean underwater. Even if you never clean a car, look at the vents. That only happens when a car is submerged and drained of muddy water. I guarantee you pull up the carpet the padding underneath is soaked.

They have an adaptor for some vehicles that links the pedals and steering wheel to a new set that get attached on the right hand side.
OP, it is illegal to sell a flood damaged vehicle without declaring it as such, you may want to get the car checked out, if it was flood damaged you could always get your money back if they didn't declare it.

Any car newer than 2006 has shitloads of electronics in them and cost more to repair than the vehicle is even worth. Even worse is that even a top electrician can't fix a modern car 100% of the time in said condition.

My advice too. And disassemble/clean the entire AC system just to make sure.
Is this mud or just dust? Even if this is a rural carrying vehicle, this is on next level. (and... if this is really a rural vehicle you probably have a lot of scratches outside.)
But if the mechanical parts are passable it might be a good deal.
