Red Seats and console - Don't know if I can take it

I'm in the market for a '16-'17 Civic Touring. I've found one with only 10k miles. But the seats are bright red - and I find them hideous. I would never keep these seats and other parts if I buy it.

So regarding finding replacements at salvage, how difficult is this going to be to find new interior seats and other parts? I want them to drop the price due to this issue. They are advertising as if it's a great feature. I'm test driving it tomorrow and the miles are so low it makes this purchase attractive.

Those look like katzkin (or similar) covers. Should be able to take em off and hawk em for a good chunk of change. The arm rests and center console, they're replaceable parts, or you can buy aftermarket covers

Wait. Those are covers? Meaning there are normal seats underneath?

And I take that the other parts were replaced but I can find them from salvage or various vendors?

If so, you just made me very happy.

They very well might be. Definitely not stock, as far as I'm aware. Only OEM red seats I'm aware of are the type r seats, and even then, fronts only

Thank you. I'll check it tomorrow and see what kind of disaster I'm dealing with. Price is low for 10k miles.

Those seats are sexy as hell, but they do NOT go with the black trim. It simply doesn't work unless you want to put red fabic on the dash and rest of the interior.
