Interior color change

Hello everyone,
I'm planning to buy a 2013 E350 sport, used, but the car color is white with biege interior, I hate that light color leather interior.
How much does Merc charge to change the interior? Is that worth it with Mercedes or should I look for after market?
Do you guys suggest leather dye?

Thank You in advance.

The car most likely has MB-Tex, not leather, so it cannot be dyed. For just the seats, you can figure about $5000 from MB for new seat covers plus labor. Aftermarket would be cheaper and you would get real leather.

Your best bet is to find a different car.

To change the interior it would cost way more than $5000.00. The door panels, dash panels, wood, seats, headliner, and many hours of labor.

Correct. Like I said, the parts for the seat covers from MB are in the $5000 range.

It is far cheaper to buy a different car.

Thanks guys,
I changed my mind from this option and will look in future for a different car.
