Stock EVO IX MR Recaros... Front seats, Rear seat and back... how much do you guys think these are worth new without any damage ?

Next how much do you guys think these would be worth used... puncture through the rear seat through the suede, covered up nice though. Driver seat, twisted and repaired using another set of recaros, but priced as the upper portion twisted towards the passenger side, twisted enough to make the seat not usable. passenger front seat with impressions in the leather, kind of looks like the holes in a football jersey and some creases ? i will try and get pics if i can...
Also seats were shampoo'd in order to get the mildew smell out.

Here is the situation which is why im asking. 3 of us did a seat swap. My leather seats from my 06 gsr into an 03 which had the blue seats. The damaged MR seats into my IX, the blue seats into the MR. The MR was totaled so we needed replacement seats to go into that car. I wanted the MR seats in my ride so we made a deal for them, we'd later come up with a price and we'd all make the swap. The seats were in worse shape then i thought when we went to the salvage yard. But with about 6 hrs of time, I and a friend managed to take his blue driver seat apart, make a usable seat with the MR fabric, somewhat repair the puncture so you cant see it, shampoo and clean up the seats so they were worthy to be in an EVO again. Im trying to find a fair price to pay the guy that originally had the MR seats. Any input would be appreciated. What price do you guys think would be fair.

 

A good set of front seats runs from $500 on up, the rear seats are worthless (maybe $50). Since your seats are heavily damaged, I think you'll be lucky to get $200 for everything.

 

i wouldnt say they are heavily damaged... they were pretty nasty, but they were salvaged... given it was by me, but they were salvaged. The hole is like if you took a ratchet wrench and poked it through the seat, but then pulled it out and just pushed the fabric together and it wasnt that noticeable... the passenger seat impressions in the leather are very noticeable. The smell is gone now, and the driver seat wouldnt have been usable had we not had other stock seats to tear apart.

 

just sold my front for $650

 

The Mitsu dealership i bought my MR from told me they had to replace a set that was stolen and paid over $8500 for the pair...i don't know if there's any truth to that, just food for thought.

 

b3n, glad to see that you finally got your MR.....I was told the same thing by said Mitsu dealership.

............photoshoot............

 

Thats asinine! Talk about ripping the customer off. Wow.

 

what kind of seats were they ? the blue inserted seats ? the leather seats ?

 

The fronts, from mitsu, are ~ $3500 with the rails. $8500 seems a bit high for the set, but it's not all that far off really. The OEM price is horrible.

I don't really know what they would be worth used/damaged though. =(

 

thats around the ball park i was figuring... 3500 new, maybe 600 in the condition they were in. maybe a bit more... but not more then 1000.

 

bump... i added pics... i need some serious input guys... thanks

 

anyone else with any input ?

 

I sold my fronts for 1250 and my back for 350. They were in perfect shape. Yours are worth about 500 for the front and maybe 150 for the rear.

 

thank you for the numbers.. keep them coming.

 

man i sold my front evo 9 seats feb of 06 with about 50 miles on them for 1500 and the rear for 350.
