**Interior Swap Questions** Help!

I have a Pebble beige 96 maxima SE (5spd). I do not have leather. I found leather interior (seats, door panels, etc, etc). They are selling it for 250$. First of all, Is that a good price?! Second of all, how hard is it to swap the front interior seats and the door panels? Also, the interior i'm looking at had butt warmers (heated leather) and automatic climate control and my car now doesn't. Will this present a problem at the time of install?

Side bar, how much can I get for my *Mint* Beige interior?
Thanks in advance for the help!!!

250.00 for fronts and rears? If so thats a good price.
The swap is simple the fronts have four bolts and the rears have one bolt on each side, the bottom just unclips from the top.
Not sure about the heaters though.

I don't really like the leather seats that came with our 4th gen. My butt slides around in the seat, so I had to put seat cover on the driver side only.

you will have no problem with the heated seats all the wiring should be under your carpet, nissan put in there incase on the assembly line the car needed to be heated leather they would have it there, so all of are cars have it, as far as the switiched you can go to nissan and buy the two switches that fit in the coin holders and wire them up....and 250$ is a great price as long as they are in decent shape, so cracks or tears. And as far as switich the door panels, easy as pie just get yours self a interior clip removal tool they have them at most auto parts stores, will save you a lot of time and frustration. Oh and dont forget to hook up all the electrical connections when you put the new panels in and also to transfer all the door cups for the handles and stuff, any other questions pm me and I can walk you through it, it really is a hour job or so.

Thanks for the support! Im going to see if I can get over 100$ for my mint interior now so that I can go purchase the leather. I doubt they will sell it as the car is very well hidden in parsippany.

$250 for leather seats and the door panels is a good price. Install shouldn't be too difficult either.

That's a super good price, go for it. It should be pretty simple, and post some picks so we can see it

Thats a good price! Not all 4th gens are prewired for heated seats. You may have to do the wiring yourself, it is not hard to do. To do it right you should get all the OEM connecters and switches.
