I post some pics asap Depends on condition really and if they are the full electric versions. About £500 normally but in this climate who knows?

vwdeviant 0 Posted February 18, 2008 Pay about £2.50 in this climate... Oh and I'll even be so good as to throw in my stock seats if you like! :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Walesy 0 Posted February 18, 2008 I sold a decent set for £900 a few years back, and had no trouble finding a buyer as they're pretty rare and quite saught after. I think nowadays though, with the price of rados on it's ass the price of rare parts will drop too, so you may struggle to find someone willing to pay that much for a set of cloth seats. If they're in good condition then i'd say you may be able to get £600-£700 maybe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chimo 0 Posted February 20, 2008 All corrado Recaros are electric, some are heated some are not. I'd be interested in the full interior, if you want to keep it intact. Andrew Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(if not i can delete an start my own thread :lol: )thinkin of changin the rado interior,so wanted to know what peoples views on price were,or if anyones interested in them :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chimo 0 Posted February 20, 2008 ugh... yeah... count me in for those. I've been jonesing for them since I saw a set 7 years ago when I got my first corrado. maybe we can do a three way trade/sale thing if you want BigPants' seats... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g60greeny 0 Posted February 20, 2008 i've already got my eyes on another interior,so lookin for a price to for these to fund that :) but if the price isn't good enough i'll save an get them retrimmed in cream leather one day :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BILLCOR 1 Posted February 21, 2008 Shirley you'd want the rears too? The cloth seats have matching Recaro-specific fabric front and back. Currently I'm getting a rear bench retrimmed in audi TT leather and style to suit the fronts, but I'm getting pddoff trying to get the TT fronts to sit low enough, so I'm now thinking pick up some recaros and get them trimmed to match :? fekin cars!

So lemme get this one strait. You buy TT seats. You install them. You decide to have the rears retrimmed to match. Before that happens you decide to swap front seats so you decide to have them matched to the yet untrimmed back seats? Even though the Corrado rears are just normal seats that happen to have recaro material covering them, ie: rather pricey... :drinking: Why not just wait it out and buy some leather Recaros?

lesarcsneil 0 Posted February 26, 2008 I bought the set from Lora_G60 on the forum, we did a complete interior swap so he got my old, mint cloth interior. They went for £460 on ebay, then the buyer didn't collect. I did the deal at £400 with my interior. They have a cigarette burn in one of the rear seats and the drivers side seat bolster has been repaired, but needs a repair by a trimmer to be perfect. That puts the value of a mint condition interior at around £500, but you've got to take into account that there aren't too many people after cloth Recaros at that price when leather interiors go for around the 600-800 mark depending on condition. They are worth every penny and are considerably more supportive than the normal seats. Neil 94 Flash Red 16v Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zak 0 Posted February 26, 2008 Cloth recaros do have their place in the market though, theres people like me who use their corrados daily and would love leather recaros but they would be annoying in the summer without A/C. If you have a/c or your corrados not a daily then its leather recaros all the way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g60greeny 0 Posted February 26, 2008 I agree,cloth recaros have gotta be worth no less tha 500 in good condition,as said they are wayyyyyyyy more comfy an supportive than standard seats,i'll probs end up keepin mine an save for a retrimm so i can have me cream recaros be we fresh cow 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
