I'd never have a car without leather personally and of course heated. So if a second hand car comes up when I'm looking for a car, then that is pretty much at the top of the list. If it has seat heating but cloth I can be persuaded to still buy it only because then I can find a second hand set of seats and swap them out lol.

A retrim is a good idea but usually too expensive an option so I tend to go with the second hand set route.

The dealer just quoted me £1295 plus VAT.
Is that a good price?

The dealer said the specialist does the work for them, but that was the prices he quoted me on email for the job, so will find out whether I can put it in the dealer, or go straight to the specialist!
