I'm kinda interested in knowing what is a reasonable cost to put leather into a Laredo. The quotes I've had dealers give me is around $1500 installed which sounds excessive and at that point, might as well spring for the limited.
I was about to buy a Laredo and swap out the cloth for Katzkin leather before I decided on my Altitude. I was quoted 1k for the basic leather kit.
There are many options you can add with Katzkin that will bring the price up.
$1000-1500 is about what such a mod requires, depending on the leather, etc. Katzkin has many options so be sure to be comparing prices with equivalent products if you are shopping around for an installer.
Ebay has Katzkin leather seat sets for the Laredo for $550 plus shipping. The description says the do-it-yourselfer can install them, but I'm sure that a local shop would do the install if you prefer. They are just regular black leather with perforated center sections but they still look a lot better than cloth. I will be doing the same eventually when I get the funds....
Dealer told me the $1500 for the Katzkin is kind of firm(on paper).
It may be on the high side, but I was asking them to meet me on my price and we ended up adding the leather for ~$1000. At that point the numbers all start to blend into one another to come up with a total price...
