Not being hard to get along with here, but we need more info. For what color, trim car? Are yours broken, tired? There are some very good seat covers available in a variety of colors, fabrics, etc. Do you want brand new original equipment seats? If so, try a dealer (duh!) and hang on to something when they give you the price! Do you want some good, used seats? If so, post in the classifieds here with color, trim, etc. or check out eBay. Race seats? That's a whole 'nother subject.

I never thought about checking with a dealer actually, I'll have to do that. And it's got black and white interior. The seats are getting worn down a lot because the guy who owned it before me was over weight and didn't take very good care of it. I've already had to replace the alternator and I've replaced the serpentine belt twice already.

You have a number of options. Complete, brand new seats from the dealer will be so expensive that you'll probably think your worn seats aren't so bad after all . If you can replace just the upholstery covers, it will cost much less. You can purchase new seat covers from the dealer, or an aftermarket shop may be able to reupholster them at a reasonable price.

Or look for used seats that match yours at a junkyard.

Unless the bolsters and/or adjusters are broken, I'd clean them up as best you can and then check out Cover-King for some really good-looking covers. They have a variety of material and design options and very reasonable prices. They're custom made for your specific model.

ebay or someone who is parting out a wrecked one. Dealers will be triple the cost of a good used set. Ive seen whole interior on ebay for under $700 shipped. just keep looking if there is not one on there now
