Resized, Umm it was a dealer B2B, I bought the car 12 days ago. The last owner either ran some shitty octane or they flooded it before selling it to me.

Yes I have changed a few local members plugs and my own twice and they all looked like that. Plugs do not live long in our cars. It's bullshit that the coils and plugs are often not covered under the B2B warranty.

changing out the plugs is something you should be prepared to do at every 20k if not sooner

Make sure they change the plug wires and check the coils. 2 of the plugs have discolored ends indicating a poor connection. That can stress the coils.
