Is it leather?
Greetings,
I have a 1984 190d, in excellent condition, and I was wondering if the blue seats are leather, or some other material? Thanks for reading the thread. Hugh Sr. |

does it smell like leather?
most of the time its MBTex which does look like leather in some cases but lasts and wears a lot better than leather |

If it has cracks, it's leather.

Not many 190D's with leather. That was kinda the Po-Boy model.
Probably MB-Tex.

If the ribs in the seat run all of the way to the front, and all of the way to the top of the backrest, it's MB-Tex (vinyl). If there is a smooth panel at the top of the backrest and across the front of the seat cushion, it's leather. Leather is extremely uncommon in a diesel 190.

While many thanks to sixto for the info, has anyone else sent their vin's half way round the world without concern?

I don't see the concern. Anyone can copy your VIN from the windshield tag at any time, ... not like a SS#.
I've sent every one I consider buying to the RU site and Carfax.

Thanks!
I guess that I've been around this world too long to trust easily.

If it still looks like new it's probably not leather

Unless it's an uncannily accurate random option list generator, the information is already in their database. What's the risk in attaching an IP to a VIN?
The greater risk is spyware and adware that site puts on your PC. Sixto 87 300D |
