Thumbs down Quailty issues?

I was at an NJ dealer yesterday, and i saw an S430 with severe quality issues. The armrest was loose, the wood trim had come off, and most troubling, the entire rear seat came off its base!
Kinda scares me about the future of the flagship sedan.

are you sure that wasn't in the *totaled* section of the dealer? Cuz if not that is really really scary. Do you know what year the car was?

I think i would know when a car was totalled.
It was in the Showroom and obviously a 2003 S 430.
How do i know? The headlamps are projector based and the rear lights have the thinner and more abundant horizontal lines(4- White).

I am not trying to start a flame war here but i just thought it was very odd that such a new car would show so much abuse in the showroom.
