Default 16i front seats

How much should I expect to pay/sell a set for in good condition?

Not looking to buy or sell any, just curious to compare them against recaro prices, cheers

Ohhhh a toughie, i'd say the going rate is about Ł50 upwards for a goodun, thats no bolster wear, broken frames, missing badges or saggy bottoms anything less than this is gonna be worth about Ł20 each imo, no better than a set of worn recaros really. Really mint seats have been known to go for silly money on fleabay

You are more likely to pay more for a good drivers seat than a passenger one, as the drivers ones tend to wear more than the passenger side (for obvious reasons)

hope that helps

16i seats more supportive

generally Ł150-Ł200 for a good interior complete with door cards

cheers lads, I have always preffered the 16i seats for comfort...which is surprising as recaros are very comfy! never sat in a 16i seat for a long journey I suppose. thanks

As far as I know that silver one was a bit of a dog, it was rotten when i went to see it a few years ago and had loads of welding if its the same car.....think it lived near Nottingham way?

Also if you can find the right spec ones remember the europeans drive on the right so a drivers seat is easier to find over there
