get the leather

Get the leather, but stay away from ArmorAll (ok for dash and door pannels, not for seats). You need to get a good leather lotion. But, if you have tan leather... make sure the lotion is white (not brown like mink oil). If you don't, it will dull or darken the leather's color. The problem with ArmorAll is that it tends to dry out the leather if you don't use it often enough. I suggest using a glove leather lotion, like you would use on a jacket or boots.
I love the leather in my car, and on summer days, you just gotta make sure you don't let it sit in direct sun because it can get pretty hot. By the way, are the seats heated? If so, you may need to find the right connection points to get them hooked up... be careful though, it isn't like a lighted dash kit. You have to install the relays correctly or you will melt the harness.
Take care, and enjoy your new-to-you leather.

If you are getting both front, and a back seat and the leather is in good condition, that's a HELL of a deal.

i don't know if you guys know but our seats are mostly vinyl, not leather. the only leather is in the middle portion.
i just found out this past weekend when i took my car to the upholstery shop to get a hole in my driver seat patched...
btw that's a good deal for the seats if u can score that
