Default Leather seats.

Hi,
I just picked up a 1996 ES300 with 170k on the odometer. The problem is the leather seats are completely destroyed. Does anyone know a good "economical" solution to this eye sore? I am considering seat covers, even complete seat replacement from a salvage yard but came across an ad on Craigslist that is selling a complete interior of a 2001 ES 300 for $300. Does anyone know if the seats would bolt in my 1996? Would wiring harness match?

Thanks for any input.

Seat covers = $40
Junk yard = $$
Re-holstering = $$$$


There are DIY kits out there to repair small holes and rips....can't repair large holes.

Wow those actually look nice. Can you provide a link to the rear seats as well with matching design/color?

Check craigslist. Good looking ES300 leather seats go on sale all the time.

Thanks for the info. The ebay front seat option is good. Im not in a hurry, I'll keep my eyes open for seats on craigslist for now. If that doesn't pan out i'll order the ebay seat covers. Thanks again.

Camry seats might also bolt in, given its the same generation as your ES. Not sure how off the leather color might be to your interior though.
