Auto Art made one with fabric seats too but with the top down. Very detailed but quite expensive at $274.00 retail. Unfortunately out of stock though. However there are a few on ebay going for over $300 to $400. A little too rich for my blood. At that price too bad the lights don't work. I would...
If you're referring to bbi's BF-109 "The Black Devil of Ukraine" I had purchased one a couple of years back and still have it. Personally I feel bbi did a great job on it. Same goes for the packaging. There is a few reviews up on SSHQ that may help you out further. Found this one, see link...

Lets face it everything now a days is going up in price. I still remember when the most expensive Lego set was around $50. Today they are capping out at $150-200 a piece. And some of those are at Wall mart prices that are expected to still draw in a fairly large consumer crowd.
