No, not selling my car ![[Razz]](tongue.gif) but possibly selling my seats. What I have (came with my Faeen when I bought it) are authentic Recaro Cobra R seats out of a 2000 Cobra R. These are VERY rare and people are actuallycashing out $2500 for them on the internet (ie: svtperfrmance.com).
So here's my dillema...there's a guy on here that REALLY wants them and he's been begging to pick them up. He offered me $2300! Yup, $2300! It sounds crazy and everyone is probably thinking, TAKE IT AND RUN! But...if I do get rid of them, I'm not going to throw in just any seats to replace them with. I either want a clean set of black/black 04 cobra seats, Recaro Specialist, or Corbeau GTS II (leather/suede).
So heres the deal...the Cobra's will go for about $1500+ (shipped since no one local is selling them), the Recaros will be MORE than what I sell my Cobra R's for, and the Corbeau's will be about $1500. This will leave me with about $800 extra, which is a lot still, but not really too much to actually buy stuff for my car.
What would you guys do? I love the seats because of their rarity and comfort, plus they're one of the main focal points on my car...but I guess the extra cash would be nice too. The downfall is that I will most likely NEVER come across a pair of these again and I will most likely regret it once I blow the $800 on some bullshit...
Here's my seats (they're actually black but the flash makes them look lighter):
2004 black/black suede Cobra's:
Corbeau GTS II Black leather/microsuede:
Recaro Specialist:

agreed, no reason to drop the value of your car significantly for a measly $800...
plus you already KNOW how comfortable these seats are....and you might lose that when switching....

hahah I know...but people I've talked to and told them what I was offered always say take it and run! But thinking about the small profit I'll make and the depreciation of my car makes me think twice...

They were in the car when I bought it. I tried searching for them and you can't buy them ANYWHERE. Some guy just recently sold a pair on svtp for $2500 though ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)

make the guy offer you 3k for your seats, lol. obviously, $2,300 is not the right price for you. if he wants them bad enough, he will cough up the dough for those bad boys. pick the seat of your choice for $1,500 and you still have $1,500 left.
try ebay, who knows what you might get for them ![[Wink]](wink.gif) . their fees are ridiculous though.

Well I would look at which seat doesn't hold the smell of your farts. I mean you seem like the kind of guy to fart a lot in your seats and the micro suede ones might hold and absorb the smell. I think your better off keeping the ones you have.

you know what, I never looked at it that way. I think I'll sell them for some cheapo kragen racing seats. That way, the vinyl wont absorb the stank and I won't be too worried if I fuck them up too bad. thansk for the input T!
