Again, where are the creases? and are they just creases in the leather outer covering, or is the padding below breaking down?

Unless these questions are answered, I think the posts above provide all possible answers.

maybe they are seats from a different car and were replaced after previous owner returned it to stock?

I think it depends on the person/seats because my 07 with 10k miles looked worn a bit at 5kish. Passenger side looks ok tho

Maybe the previous owner didn't take good care of them.
The seats could get pretty worn out if the owner didn't take good care of them ...

I have a 2007 S2k and I have about 6000 miles, and they're already showing a lot of wear and tear.

I have an 03 with 16k, bought it used with 11k on it a couple of years ago. Yes the driver seat does not look as new as the passenger side. I am 6-4 and go 200 pounds and have always had leather seat wear even on a Porsche I had. In my opinion it does not matter how much leather conditioner you put on the seat as others have said, it has to do with how many times you get in and out.

Look at the tire wear and how much the carpet is worn around the peddles.

Yup. That's what the odometer is for.

seats will wear faster if the owner is a fatass.
