911 pedal covers are made of relatively soft rubber. Higher mileage cars will have well worn covers, or even covers worn through to the medal pedal below.
Driver's seat side bolsters show wear in a hurry. At 20k, there should be minimal wear.
The later Carreras (and 964 & 993's for that matter) have leather covered shift knobs. The leather wears quickly, so at 20k, again the leather should have most of it's dye left intact.
Front bumpers and hoods attract lots of stone chips. The lower the miles, the fewer the chips.
If you feel ambitious and the owner lets you, remove the speedometer and there should be a date stamp on the back of the speedometer that matches the year of manufacture of the car. Keep in mind if it's an early 1989, it may have a 1988 date stamp.
