Default Good deal on a rare part?

There's a guy by me selling a full set of CRV leather seats for $600. Is this a good deal? how rare ARE leather first gen seats?

The leather seats only came in SE models, and those were '00 - '01 only models. So yeah they are fairly rare.

i have an 01 se with leather i wouldnt recomend getting them the leather is very thin they tear easy and THEY DO NOT COME HEATED which i don't understand why they didnt. the 1.6 el leather came heated, i would recomend finding el seats they would sit lower in your crv.

but on the plus side if you do decide to get them it will have arm rest on both sides which is nice.

do you think it'd be possible to fab up some kind of mounting to get Gen 2 leather front seats into a Gen 1V?
