Default What value to put on a cosworth leather recaro ?

Ok, If anyone can help I need a couple of values , firstly a single leather sierra sapphire recaro passenger seat in immaculate condition with no wear and perfect side bolsters and squabs, what value would you put on it if you were selling it on its own, secondly a drivers leather recaro in pretty good condition with no rips or burns but starting to show signs of wear in the usual places, what value would you put on it if you were selling it on its own. Thanx in advance

Ł100 for a pair of leather recaros surely thats not selling them , thats giving them away!. I should have explained better, Only one seat will be for sale because I recently acquired a seat to replace my worn drivers seat, i was told it was in pretty good nick but it turns out its completely mint, so i'm left now with a choice, if the mint seat is worth enough i may sell it, if however i keep it and replace my worn drivers seat i need to know what sort of value to put on it .

its a seat, whats a single plate worth, fook all as its incomplete

sorry but not everyone is stupid enough to open there wallets as theres a cossie name badge

i got loads of seats tbh, got half leathers full interior from a tennis cabrip ( infact got the cabrio too), much rarer than standrd issue cossie seats and will actually fit a car and not have to find the rest ( with ya not gonna either)

sorry biut what did you pay for the 2 seats, i bought a complete cossie trim for 350 quid off yodi

they fetch 500 quid off traders but people sell em for 350 complete

whats a pair of seats worth, what ya gonna use em for, i was gonna use em for me spare room as playstation seats

think alot of people in the car game need to wake up

try and buy a set of leather door cards off a trader and tell me what they say

bet the say they dont break em and if they got em spare its cause the got a mint odd set they kept by and selling the not so mint set so the trim is worth more

sorry mate but ask em, i know as i done it for a mate

he payed 100 quid for a set of door cards as no one would break em from a set and would rather keep the door cards to make a nice trim rather than break

Sounds like you,ve all got the wrong idea, l own a 4x4 saf cossie which has a full leather interior, my drivers seat is starting to show wear in the usual places so i acquired another seat as a replacement , it was bought from a guy who wanted rid of it as it was cluttering up his front room, i paid Ł50 for it. However when i went to pick it up i got a bit of a shock as its in practically new condition. My intention was to sell my worn drivers recaro and recoup the Ł50 but seeing the condition of the replacement it made me wonder if i should sell it instead, make a tidy profit and keep an eye out for another seat. Hence why i asked for a rough value on a worn seat and a rough value on a mint one.

thats what its worth mate

ya may get more but in my opinion if its rough aint worth a toss and if its mint the 100 for a pair

you can get a interior retrimed for 700 quid

and not everyones mine it actually mint

im not poud of this fact, i had a set of leathers out of my own car at Ł500 for sale on the day, you cannot compete with Ł300.
in my honest opinion if leather interior (in good condition) is priced at Ł300 then its stolen......
peeps may want to get shut for quick money and i cant blame them but all leathers are numbered, (YES ALL OF THEM) if you buy a stolen set then providing you can drag a good officer away from his beloved snooker table you may have it taken away from you....
cheers nomad
