Also, what's up with the wires going over the top of that homemade intake? I don't recognize those either.
It seems to me that if someone was willing to make a dryer tubing intake for their car they probably aren't the sort of person you want to buy a car from. Who knows what else is "customized" on that car.
Best case scenario with that intake it's making a lot of turbulence inside because of the corrugations and probably robbing a little HP. But if the maf housing is a different size that stock there could be all kinds of problems with they thing.

Where I work, we've got some stock GT airbox's lying around and I would've replaced it, or if the rest of the car was too mickey moused we'd run it through the auction and let somebody else deal with it. haha.
unfortunately most car salesmen in my experience really aren't car enthusiasts, and probably didn't even bother to look twice under the hood of that car, and will have no problem selling it to some kid who doesn't know any better.

It was probably a trade in. I can attest from experience that dealers will take absolutely any car in trade if it helps sell a car. haha.
