Post Repairing worn leather?

The 97 T/A I'm looking at buying is nearly perfect inside, except on the drivers seat, the leather is worn and faded, from getting in and out. Is there anything I can use to fix this?

Might try Lexol. I don't have leather, but I've heard this is a good product for leather care/restoration.

As long as the leather is not torn or has a hole in it, it probably can be made to look better, I would advise using a separate cleaner and conditioner (products that are combined cleaners and conditioners dont do much, you can't be both at the same time) We have some very nice leather products, our Z-9 is the cleaner spray and the Z-10 is the leather conditioner, our Z-10 smells exactly like a leather coat and contains real leather oils to replenish those lost. If the leather is really bade, there is a company called Leatherique (spelling may be wrong) that is supposed to treat leather in very, very bad condition.
