What's wrong with this G?

These are some more pics of the 1997 290GTD 461 that I'm considering importing. The seller says he's selling the car because of tax reasons.

So my question is, after looking at these pics, what do you think is wrong with the G? I'm not extraordinarily familiar with the interior craftsmanship/build of the W460 and W461 (although I assume it's top notch), so if something looks out of place point it out.

In my opinion, the car is a bit too costly - the seller wants $26,000 for it when it has 120,000 miles on the odometer. Also, the seat design looks more like seat covers (what's he hiding?) and he says he's put in a new engine (that makes me suspicious).

After going through all the documentation on importing a vehicle, I'm having some doubts on whether or not this is really worth it. If anyone in Europe is interested in this vehicle, I'll forward them the seller's contact information.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.
