Is it possible to buy a vegan friendly car?

We want to buy an economical seven-seater. It must be second hand and (as we’re vegan) not contain any leather. We realise that glue will be used (which isn't vegan friendly) but we also accept that we run over worms and ants on our travels (which isn't a very vegan thing to do either) but we make compromises on that front.

Are all of these cars made with leather steering wheels, gear sticks and surrounds?

Just get a cheap spec car. They have plastic covered steering wheels and gearknobs that aren't particularly nice to hold, but didn't once cover a cow.
