On !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! I mentioned we had an armada of Armadae in the shop for leather. As retired rentals, they smelled of feet and the detritus of fast food trips. Or maybe they smelled like the inside of a vacuum cleaner. Obviously this is due to the fact that they were used as people haulers for 40k miles in a year.

Now they smell like leather and the seats are much easier to deal with. Also quilted leather is so comfy to sit on. If it were me I would have thrown blue piping on the blue one and kept the gray one gray. I’m

Also, I was incorrect about their asking price. Both are now listed at $37,900. They’ll likely sell for about 36,500, which is still not bad for a very capable Nissan Patrol derivative with about 40k miles.

Mmm, I love the leatherwork on those seats. It’s too bad that the only seats I’ve found comfortable for long-term driving have been cloth.

Are those off the shelf replacement covers, or did you guys sew em up in-house?

I really like them. Very nice. Barely any puckering too, which is a bonus.

man, at that price its pretty tempting compared to a 100,000 mile 200 series for about the same money.

$37,900? That seems mighty high for a former rental with 40k on the clock, even with the nicely recovered seats. New Armada SL’s are advertised for as low as $45k . I know which one I’d buy.

What’s a job like this cost? I’m looking into options for my Miata. Just two seats, obviously. Been told about a grand. Is that accurate?

That’s not bad. Here in Charlotte it’d be about $800 for a two-seater but we have competition that tries to undercut us hardcore.
