Leather Replacement?
I'm looking at a '04 SL600 with 19K miles and the driver's side leather seemed alittle worned and would like to replace it. It's normal wear and tear but still would like to replace it if I purchase the car. How difficult is it to replace the leather covers?
Thanks!
Thanks!
, cheaper that way

Any good upholstery shop will have no problem replacing the leather and renewing the interior. That will be far more cost effective than buying an entire seat.

Seat Replaceent
I wouldn't worry about it. Enjoy the car and save your money for some of the required repairs. The way the car is designed, you won't be gettiing in or out any differently than the previous owner. Soon your repaired seats will be looking just like the old ones. Leather conditioner applied regularly is your best defense.
