I would take the car and get it professionally detailed. They may have fabric safe products that they can use… Also, since mold can be hazardous you may NOT want to be breathing in air/water that’s been in contact with the fabric.. You may have to steam clean the interior… If you don’t care about the condition of the fabric you can take diluted bleach.. a few tablespoons in a spray bottle and spray the interior.. Get seat protectors/covers…
I agree with TayLee, this car may have more problems that just the mold. If you are intent on keeping it and want to treat the mold, DampRid makes a mold remover and protector for fabrics that will not only kill the existing mold and its spores, but leaves a protective residue that will keep it from returning.

*Open the windows and get some air circulation…

This car could have possibly been in a flood. I would take it back!!!
