Adaptive Seats

Guys:

I am *considering* swapping out my front seats but didn't have a good feel for what the market and demand was for these. Any guidance would be appreciated -- of course I'll post in the classifieds if I end up moving forward with this.

Specs:

Black full leather adaptive seats with standard grayish stitching
Heated
About 45K miles
Seating surfaces are in good shape -- dark gray plastic backings have some light scuffs/scratches from rear passenger entry/exit

$1500? $2000? $2500? Couldn't find any recent comp sales...

Thanks!

The adaptive (motorized) sport seats are rare. You could easily get $3k-3.5k, perhaps more. Depends on how they look. Shipping will run at least $400, though.

Thanks for the feedback -- wow, the prices you suggested seem much higher than I would have guessed. I would think the market is very tiny for this though (at that price point)

Sure, good luck! I wish I had known 6 months ago. Bought a pair off some guy in Alberta, and had lots of problems.
P.S. There's a pair for sale on fleabay right now. $3500 + $280 SH. The non-adaptive sport seats usually go for $3000.

Yup, can and will if I decide to sell these. I would only consider a local sale though (SoCal).

Ok thanks. I've got the classic seats, black, full power, heated, with memory that I've been looking to swap out. But you're looking for only local, GLWS!

Yeah, sorry -- too much of a hassle to pack/ship these for me and then deal with an online transaction.

With all the 911's in the SoCal area there should be no problem getting rid of them for $3500.

I've got a GTS coming in with manual alcantara+leather sport seats. Looking to swap them for a set of adaptives. You're probably not looking for a trade+cash but it never hurts to ask
