Two 99s that I have now, the leather is still in great shape, but one has a little color fade. It does need to be cared for and a garage, or good car cover makes a big difference.
A 99 that I sold had a couple spots on the dash where the leather was starting to separate - about a 2 inch round bubble in a spot and a little at the front.
I think that the worst thing that can happen to leather is to get it wet in the heat or full sun. It causes shrinkage and hardens it. I had that happen to part of a door panel.
