Leather or not

Josh: we don't know and neither does the current owner. I can smell leather seats hundreds of yards away like a Lion. Even if these are leather, they cannot be worn in such smll time and littel mileage. BTW: I sent two emails with specific questions to the Lister and have yet to hear from him

The problem with leather is drying out... This is aggravated inside a car due to sitting out in the sun. The temps inside a car in the summer are amazing....
The problem with keeping upholstery leather alive is the impervious finish put on the surface....
Leather needs to have something like Lanolin added to it from the backside to even think about competing with good quality vinyl....This would mean taking the leather cover off at least every 5 years..... more often would be better....

sent two emails and no reply

Whenever I deal on ebay and the seller is not reasonably quick to respond I can't trust them I don't care what the feedback says. By reasonable I mean 12 to 24 hours.

Looks like a nice car but ebay is a game of trust. Good luck.

Seller replied very kindly to two emails and sent more pictures and comments. Can't find anything wrong with this car until I get to Houston

Car gone!

.....well, the seller crapped out of the transaction. Bummer, either he realized finally what he had or a neighbor bought if outright from him. Maybe it will reappear on Ebay.......
