Leather drivers seat

My drivers side seat has seen better days. I need to find one better than mine or see if it can be repaired. Anyone know of any reasonably priced used seats? Any idea if it can be repaired? It's a 2000 lariat leather. I'm not too picky, even if it's a newer design I'd be ok with that, even if it's not perfect as long as its better than mine.

you can try a local upholstery shop. they will probably be the cheapest.

you can get replacement leather cheaper on fleabay. might be risky though.

or get some high quality seat covers.

I'd find a local auto upholstery shop. Used leather seats are usually pretty beat from what I have seen. I just bought some cloth ones for $200 after looking for a long time.

If that were my truck I'd have a good quality local upholstery shop rebuild/reupholster the seat-they can use vinyl or leather and do a fantastic job-its done all the time.

Agreed. Mine had a big split before I bought it and the dealership pulled the seat to sent it to the upholstry shop. They did a professional job, then I was able to get all the staining out of the old leather.

I replaced my seat bottom with vinyl, it was a perfect match and when I come home from the lake I don't have to worry about messing up the leather. It cost about $100

I just did the bottom and I took the seat to them loose. I was fixing my heated seat so I had it apart anyway. That still seems high.
