Full leather mmmmm.... just another option that makes it harder to find the car that has everything you want to make it perfect. Why don't they all just have it?

I agree with full leather, however, how would this work in a warm climate in the long haul? I live in the tropics, so how would the leather dash or visors hold up over a couple of years in the sun?

It's a very nice option that can be enjoyed from day one , however do not expect to see a dime of recovery on resale . I would get it but it would not be the number one must have option .

I would expect it to be fine. My Father in Law has had a few Sl500/550's over the last 10 years and they have full leather interiors, an they seem to be holding up fine.

Full leather.

Every time you drive the car, you'll appreciate the look, the feel, and the smell of going for that option. You're not likely to recover your cost in re-sale but you'll be glad you did every time you sit in the car.

i had full leather in my 997s and it is notable everytime you enter the car. it gives an elegant feel that is quiet special. a buddy has one without it, and it is night and day when i ride with him.

you will not get a penny back on this option. but your car will sell easier and you will enjoy it daily for years. at the end, worth every penny! good luck.
