What's wrong with me!

**jimmyjam** · 01-20-2011, 04:45 AM

My wife and I are kinda in a disagreement. We're looking at getting the Mercedes C350 and with all the options, it's really over doing it to get leather. My mind is on all the products I could use on the leather to maintain it, and my wife thinks we don't need it, but what's a Mercedes w/out LEATHER! I don't ask for much and what ever I do get I take really good care of it regardless what it is, so is to much to ask? Shoot I act like this a diary vs. a forum, but hey your all my buddies.....

Do they have cloth seats as an option? I've never seen it if they do

Same thought here, I didn't know cloth would even be an option. I would think that it would seriously reduce the potential resale someday as well.

I also think that cloth would make the car a special order that would not allow you to take part in any dealer/factory incentives that usually only apply to in-stock vehicles.

Leather!

i believe that the closest they have to cloth is mb tex, a very good fake leather. a lot of c classes have this, plus their suvs. the step up real leather is much more expensive and listed as an option or part of a package.

I love MB Tex. It looks just as good as leather and its easier to care for. I didnt know they were still using MB Tex though, my friends 88 300E has black MB Tex seats and they still look almost brand new with 220k miles on the car. With that said, theres noooo way I would buy a brand new Mercedes with CLOTH seats.

If I was going to spend the money on a Mercedes, I would make darn sure that when I drove off the lot I had no regrets. Get the leather.

I had aftermarket leather put in my truck. Niiiiice!
Most friends also say leather cleans up better than fabrics, especially with stains.

Get the leather. You won't go back to fabric again.
