I bought some faux leather/real vinyl seat covers off of eBay, probably paid about $40-50 shipped. The material was of nice quality, soft to the touch, though very thin and obviously not leather. They had a thin foam lining inside the sleeve to give it some padding and to hold it to the seat.
After about a year, the stitches began to come undone on the driver's seat cover, and when I removed the cover, I discovered that the foam had begun to disintegrate, leaving a mess to clean up when it stuck to the velour-style cloth that's in my '02 Solara.
Overall, for what I paid, I was pretty satisfied, but I have not since re-covered them, as my cloth is in very good condition, and I've gotten used to it.
Now if I were to come across a set of Katzkin tan, real leather seat covers on discount, I would be all over them.
As with all eBay transactions, you get what you pay for. Sometimes less. So go in with low expectations and you won't be disappointed.
If you're looking for grey leather, I know there is a member on the forum here selling a great set from Katzkin at a deep discount - if I thought I could pull it off in my champagne/tan vehicle, I wouldn't hesitate to pick them up.
