Default 2008 Turbo with supple leather

I am looking to buy a 2008 Turbo Cab. The car is 6 speed silver in color with black interiors. It has 23K miles. I have found one with the following options:

1. Ceramic Brakes
2. Sport Chrono Package
3. Heated Seats
4. Black Supple Leather seats

I remember that Black Supple Leather seats was not a desired option. Can folks on this forum comment on the Black supple leather and if this is a NO go?

Thanks.

Some like it and when new it's not bad. The problem is, it ages and looks old rather quick imo.

Thanks. How hard is to change those seats? Does anyone know the cost associated with the change?

You would have to obtain new seats and while they can be found used, they ain't cheap. Other than that, swapping them out is not complicated or time consuming.

I'm assuming "supple" is the ruffled leather look on the seat swabs? If so i'd give that a big miss. The seats aren't as deep in the base between the side bolsters plus it feels crap under your butt. I'd swap the seats for sure... The normal perferated leather bases are way better.
