It should be easy enough to find a car on here for 10-11k, so don't think you have to get that car. Plus, the interior was dirty as heck.

F-body cloth > F-body leather.
In general, leather is nicer, but not when you're talking about the cheap stuff they put in the F-bodies. The cloth will still look almost new even with 80k miles on it, but no matter how well you take care of the leather, it just won't hold up well long term in these cars if you daily drive it.
If you want leather, you're better off paying less for a cloth interior car and getting some aftermarket leather that is much nicer.
The red accent cloth is cool because that was a '98/'99 only option, and with only 1,495 cars getting the option in '98 it probably means that around 200 were SS cars.
