    Hey there. I've a baby on the way so it's time to grow out of my Audi A3 and into something more sensible. I'm looking at a Skoda Octavia for about 15k but it doesn't have leather seats which I'm looking for because they're easier to clean. What kind of price would semi decent leather seats cost to get fitted? I think if it were a good fake leather I'd be happy enough because this is a functional change to have something which is easy to clean. Estimates or bandwidths of prices would be great, I just have no idea whether it costs 250 euro or 7,000 euro but I guess somewhere in between.

    Easiest and best option is to get a set of leather seats to fit your car from a breakers yard, so say in the case of the octavia look for a set of seats from a crashed Octavia VRS - a decent set of seats front and back should be around 5/600 i guess.

    A retrim will cost way more.

    Most manufacturers use Pleather these days anyway, very hard to find genuine leather on a car seat these days, unless it's made by Recaro or high end stuff.

    It depends on the quality of seats and leather. You can have an idea about the price from here https://www.ebay.co.uk/b/Leather-Interior-Seats-for-Audi-A3/174075/bn_55170856. However, instead of replacing the seats, I would suggest you to only change the covers with leather covers. Hopefully, covers will give you ease about the budget and easy to clean as well.
