Alternative to New Car?

It shouldn't be that hard. I've redone car interiors before. Most aftermarket auto suppliers stock everything from preformed and cut carpeting to seats, trim pieces, and hardware. Just take your time and be aware that electrical wiring may be under your carpet and trim. Try JCWhitney or Summit Racing. I would stay away from ordering parts from the dealer if you can. You will pay way too much.

I had the same problem with my van. I have 2 kids of my own and my 2 yr old nephew every day. Plus a girl scout troop. So my van gets rather filthy at times. I bought some Oxi-clean spray at the dollar store and sprayed it on the stains after I vaccuumed the van really well. I let it sit for 15 minutes and then took a scrub brush and a damp rag and rubbed the stains. A coffee stain on my floorboard that had been there for 3 months and other cleaners wouldn't get out came up. Plus all the juice and soda stains from my kids. $1.00 bottle of cleaner worked like magic. Before spending a ton try it out.

I've got another idea...
Check a wrecking yard for a price on seats out of a wreck. You may be pleasantly suprised.. You may get leather seats (if the higher models had them) and seats are very easy to change. 4 bolts usually for each front seat. The rear seat lower cushion usually snaps in and the rear seat back usually has two bolts which are hidden when the bottom cushion is in. Probably only slightly more complicated if the car is a hatchback for the rear seat.

But should you trust seats from a junkyard? You never know what has taken up residence in them, plus they may simply smell...
