Too pricy. That person is also selling a set of GT2 seats for more than one can get a set for from Suncoast.

There are countless horror stories of guys here on RL dealing with those crooks. They typically misrepresent their items and price their used items for more than new items and yet people continue to buy from them and then come complain on RL about how they got scammed, etc..

I would run the VIN number first to make sure it has not been stolen, or came from a stolen car.

With these guys, I wouldn't be surprised if it were.

I learned the hard way on a set of coil-overs several years ago. Sadly they are persons unworthy of trust.

Was on the phone with these guys yesterday as I'm looking for some sport seats, their gt2 seats for sale are priced at $7500 and asking $2700 for regular seats.

Taking pricing out of the equation, I thought LA Dismantlers have a good reputation?

Nope, they don't. Personally, I bought from them two times, the first and the last. Lack of expertise, bad customer service, first purchase on the phone, last purchase in person.

No harness/ECU? I can't imagine this is just plug and play.
