Saab 9000 leather

I am attempting to condition my leather. I thought I had done a pretty good job until I sat in a Saab 9000 loaner that was three years older than mine, and the wine shade of leather. It was SIGNIFIGANTLY softer than mine, although not glove soft. Three questions for fellow 9000 owners out there:
1)What did the 9000 leather feel like upon purchase? Glove soft? or is it more of a pigskin feel, as in cheaper cars (Japanese cars come to mind)
2)Have you used anything LOCALLY available that conditioned your leather to like new condition?
3)Is it possible to condition my leather into GLOVE SOFT condition, or is that hoping for too much?
I would liken the feel of my leather now to...grampas face when he needs a shave. It's not soft, it's not porous. It's kind of dry, not crackly, but NOT supple. I have cleaned and conditioned it with Meguiars 3 times now! You would think that would make a difference, but now it is only CLEANER, not softer.
Help! I don't want to HAVE to order online from Leatherique (Im a BAD credit card manager) and I dont believe you can get Leatherique locally, and I can't find Zymol (or whatever the preferred thing is) I DO think I need an oil based product, not a lotioney product.
Thanks!
Matt
