Default How much for leather seats?

How much would you guys pay for leather seats on ebay if the seats were in good condition with no damage? I really want leather seats but if the auction gets up to $700+(it's at $511 with two days left) then I don't know if it would be worth it. Leather is the only option that my camaro doesn't have. Give me some advice on what I should do or how much I should spend without getting ripped off?

Way too much IMHO..
You can pick up complete leather interiors for $400-$500. You just have to shop around. Just don't be in a rush, and you'll find a great deal.

Leather looks cool but if it is black hot during the summer during the winter it's cold slippery all the time. And you should use some leather protecing something once in a week. But it looks cool, once again.

Leather looks nice. But if I were you I would look into buyinf some custom seat covers. Last time I looks into it they were around 120-300 for front and rear.

leather was nice, but it is hot, and is heavy for a drag car...go with a leather race seat from summit if you like the looks

I bought and sold a pair of leather T/A seats for $500.

The factory seats are "leather seating surfaces" (i.e.
only the parts you would stick to if you're naked). The
GM leather is polyurethaned I believe.

An aftermarket upholstery job would likely use higher
grade leather and more of it. You would probably want
to take more care with preserving it.

put an ad in the want to buy forum, tons of people have pulled them out and will probably sell them to ya for 500ish. might be able to find someone close to you who has a set so you wont have to pay shipping. you can post in the regional forums to find them.
