c320cdi, c350cdi, not real leather seats?
It seems all C class c320cdi and c350cdi mercs have leather as standard listed, but on wikipedia it states:
The Elegance has ARTICO leather upholstery as standard with real leather as an option. The Avantgarde has Liverpool fabric/ARTICO leather seats with real leather as an option.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merced..._C-Class_(W204)
So how can I know if they are real leather, which I don't want, when all are listed as leather on carsales.com.au,

Probably 99% of the cars have the MBTex synthetic leather, so the chances of coming across a car with real leather are very low to begin with. Probably the easiest ways to tell would be the real leather would have some creases worn in and you could probably smell it. The synthetic wears much better. It is hard to tell exactly from the car you posted because the pictures are kind of far away, but that looks like the MBTex.

Ok awesome! Thanks guys. Will take the recommendation of checking for worn/creases that might indicate real leather and proceed see if I need to check the VIN number.
Cheers
