The dealer already repalced my drivers seat cushion as the leather flaked off ina spot. And as mentioned before, it is loose and wrinkly. Not worth anywhere near the $1400+ they charge. The finished surface of the leather is extremely thin and crap. Did I mention this leather is junk?
I hear you and I agree with you, now I am given the choice of not messing with it and just have the Ash fabric cloth interior which I am not sure about the durability of the cloth fabric and I believe someone in edmunds forum said it is not good quality as well... BTW, I found out that you can get a navigation on a base TCH like the one I am negotiating, as it is easy for the dealer will not have to do all the add-ons at the port... anyway, below is a sale price for a 2007 TCH:
>Options:

>Heated Outside Mirrors
>Navigation
>Carpet Mats
>Mud Guards

>MSRP: $28,163.58

Is it a good deal (no factory leather or moon roof, just a plain TCH with NAV and heated mirrors from factory) ???
