Red Heated, Electric, Memory Sport seats - what they worth?

[Gazhyde]

This isn't a sale thread, just need some idea what are they going for these days so I can prepare an ad in the next week or so. So few set come up on eBay or anywhere it's hard to gauge pricing. The completed listings on ebay went for around £900

I have Dream Red (?) Sport seats in my 2007 3.0si, and I've just bought a complete replacement interior in a different colour. The bolster on the back of the drivers seat needs some attention (might need a new foam insert and dyeing to sort). They are heated, electric & memory though, so holy grail as it were.

I'm transferring the leather inserts from the new door cards to mine as I have extended leather, so there will be door cards but the armrest has small split in it.

What do you reckon they are worth? Pics below for reference.

I'll swap you for my black interior, exactly the same heated and memory in very similar condition

[Gazhyde]

I'll swap you for my black interior,

Don't need another interior, I'll have one too many once the courier arrives on Tuesday...

[Rusky]

Just a thought, i go 50/50 with RyanB at 300 each, then i swap with RyanB and he gets a red interior and i get a black interior. ?? All that was said with my poker face.

[Rusky]

just being cheeky

Ok then, I guess I'll just have to wait for the pricing comments as soon as I post the sale thread then...

I paid £750 for mine when I switched from black to red on my last Zed

600-800 ballpark.

[Marlon]

I paid £750 for mint black ///M ones heated, electric.

Were these all recent purchases, and were they just for seats, or seats and door cards?

I paid £700 for black m heated seats .They were in better condition than yours around the bolster area.
I bought these about a year ago.If I was selling yours I would be looking for around £600.

I purchased a long time ago so the price I paid was a different era, but adjusted now would £600-£700

Given the wear on the bolster I'd have to say closer to £550-£600 for a pair of 10 year old seats
End result always depends on a bit of luck and how keen someone really is

Separately are you aware how tough it is to remove the door card inserts?

Finding out it's possible was a bonus considering I'd bought it all before checking, so I guess I like a challenge...

Its a hard one to answer, especially with the repair that's needed and the market for these is all over the place. I paid just over £500 for mine in mint condition from a 50K 07 car. That was getting on for two years ago now and mine are Black M Sport ones from a 3.0si , heated/electric, red though is rarer and tends to go for a little more.
The ones from an "M" like what Marlon bought for £750 have a nicer Nappa Leather than the ones in any Sport model, whether its a 2.0, 2.5 or 3.0, unless of course it has the nappa leather option which you never really see. You can tell them apart easily as the M has less panels in the leather.

Bearing in mind the repairs needed to the seats/door panels are probably a good £2-300 in parts and labour at an upholsterers, I would be happy to walk away with £4-500 if i could but probably settle for anything north of £300

One thing I did wonder about these seats is the extra stitching/detail on the backs. Didn't have this on my previous Sport seats, and haven't seen it on others before (or probably didn't notice).
