Good shape. Leather a little haggared. Previous owner had kids so it's a little soiled but overall a real score.
No it's not the colour I wanted but it's dang pretty none the less

Nice pic Russ. Get yourself some Leatherique and take a day to clean the leather. Heed their advice and work the first step into the leather well with your hands and really let it sit as they say.

Very nice, how much?

I'm assuming Leatherique will only soften/clean the leather, correct?

I've got some cracking in the leather and can't imagine how Leatherique can "fix" those short of using their dye kit.

Nice score, Russ, especially having the top end done. I'll 2nd the Leatherique, it's good stuff. Do it about monthly for the first six months and you'll be a great shape.

As you'd expect, the front seats are a bit stiff. Still get good results?


p.s. less than $7K

I feel your pain. In fact, I barfed a bit when you posted the pic. Rattle-can it white and all will be well.

(Running joke.... )


Nice score Russ! Time to change your avatar.

Thats pretty good. With a couple of grand more in pm you have a top notch rig and are still ahead.

Yes, but it will take more than one treatment. You might wonder if it really did any good the first time, but keep at it. After the third round or so you'll really see progress, and it will keep improving from there. IME etc.

They have dye kits IIRC. Check out their website for all the details.

Never have used that product tho.

Yes. Yota leather is stiff to begin with tho. Don't expect Lexus soft leather when you are done.

Where do I pick that stuff up at?

 

[ed97fzj80]

leatherique.com. Call them and tell them you're an ih8mudder and there is a bit of a price break for it.

 

[Russ in California]
