need the pros guidance

shopping to replace my 97 Lariat. Wasnt going to go as old as an 05 until I came accross this one. Thought you guys could give an opinion. I really think I could love this truck (not as much as the one I have now, in case she reads this) Been out of the loop for awhile and have no experience with the leather. should the seats have the leg marks and color change on the arm rest? I know all the answers to remedy this are in this forum but I was getting confused with what type leather available for certain years and Im about at a .079 right now.

Your pics wouldn't load when I tried early this morning in the UK.
See if anyone else has more luck.
Sounds though as if some parts of the Castano leather have just darkened with either sweat from legs in shorts or plain dirt....both situations recoverable by methods given in the forum.

Thank you sir. They do appear to be sweat or oil and that was my primary concern if it was supposed to be a charecter thing. I think im going to go give her a drive today see how bad they want to sell it.

From the pics, it does look like just sweat from resting the arm on the console, and sweat from where the legs rest while wearing shorts. This can be remedied by the "Spa Treatment", but will probably take a few treatments to get it back to close to normal. The back seats don't look like they have been used much, but they look dry from not being conditioned, as the fronts do also.

Thanks Timberdoodles, thats what i was hoping to hear. Still debating though. Other dealership in town just got a 07 in that has less miles. Two dealers two trucks, could work out to my advantage. Thanks for the info.
