Hello, I have no idea how much to ask for this entire set, therefore sound opinions or offers will be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Please feel free to analyze well 2 videos plus additional 106 pictures here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/109547372@N04/ and tell me how much would you be willing to pay. Kindly include your zipcode so I may calculate total cost to you with your chosen carrier.
Background:
This is a two owner, original to the car, Cardinal Red E28 535 powered front Comfort seat set and accompanying rear seat set.
Condition of the seats is almost the same or perhaps better than when I bought the car in 2012. No real tears or large rips but the leather was particularly very dry at the time, specially the rear bench (less so, 12 years later) since I lather their surface annually with a leather treatment.
Of curious note, I imagine a large Golden retriever, or perhaps a Labrador inhabited the rear seat bench while accompanying the couple who first purchased in Kentucky. As they moved to, and aged in Massachusetts, where the car was bought sight unseen by me, all of their pet's hair that was under the rear bench was finally removed by me in Florida. Luckily for the would be buyer, perhaps you? Neither the first owners or me ever smoked inside the car, so you won’t find any nasty cigarette smell.
Also, over the years as I have insisted to both, my lovely wife and daughter, "my car is not a restaurant" so you won’t find any traces of old baby formula and the like. The car and its seats have been well kept in Colorado since 2016 so there’s no presence of either mold or mildew in these seats, just old world fashioned materials and dust.
All motors and their functions are in working (perfect for their age) condition; meaning typically slow but steady up/down/forward/rearward operational movements. I could be persuaded to include the seat controls (buttons) and the center console that hold the connecting wire modules (also in great condition) as part of the sale. However, the original seat wiring will remain with the car. If interested will submit pictures of the latter at a later date.
Included in the sale are: Rear headrest set (dyed) but unoriginal to the car. This rear headrest pair matches in appearance and shape the front headrests. For the unaware, these are no cat ears. All three arm rests (one main at the back, two front) fold up and forward flawlessly as seen in pictures and videos. Everything is working and nothing is broken.
You are seeing what you will get. Both seats rise and lower to the same height (you are seeing the driver’s a bit higher and this is because I did not lower it enough before removal). Some age discoloration, small discernible rips around the back of the front seat belts and other minuscule areas.
What is not included: All four door cards. Rear headrest mounting parts such as coverings or holders.
Will accept money orders, or Venmo. I am staying away from PayPal as its owner is a fascist enabler, so I am avoiding using this method, but if you insist, I can contemplate it just this once, plus fees.
I would consider shipping them at the would-be-buyer expense via DHL, FeDex or the dog (no pun intended). I will not separate the seats or pick the arm rest apart in order to sell any of them.
Thank you all once more for your interest.
