I have a 96 Cavalier and someone brought to our attention that the two front seats (look like original seats) are different from each other; same style, but two subtly different weave colors. I checked the VIN on Carfax and it doesnt seem to be a flood car or totalled. Does GM do this occasionally? One seat matches the back seats. The other doesn't. Rick
Possibly the seat covering was repalced before you bought it. This is quite common if there is a side airbag in the seat that detonates.
Or maybe it ripped or got a burm hole in it.

It is easy to wash a car title so that a totaled car has no history. The process is detailed on many websites and other places on the Internet. But if you take it to a good auto body repair place an experienced tech can tell pretty quickly if it's been in a major accident.

side airbags in a 96 cavalier? man BMW's barely had air bags then :D
Whats the last 8 of the VIN, I can look up on GM's system if the seat cover was replaced under warranty, that would explain the difference.
