Default buying used seats, need opinions, if possible reconditioning

alright I drive a 15 year old sc400 and the front drivers seat is pretty much done and tore up

went and found me some tan rsx leather seats for $180, the seats as you can see bellow are ok condition, but look much better than my current seats.

Now for the question, can this seat be reconditioned to look better? I have leather conditioner

Judging from the pics will it rip and tear on me?

Unfortunately it looks like some of the material has worn off. Therefore I don't think there is any quick fix to get them looking like new again. However you can make them look a lot better if you clean and condition the seats. After you are done they look much cleaner and hold up much better over time. The
Leatherique Prestine Clean and Leatherique Rejuvenator Oil is a powerful combo that will make the seats look noticeably better again.

Check out the Leatherique Leather Care How To and the Leatherique Product Review. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to let me know.
