Default Saddle color seat covers... brand new. What are they worth?

These came with my car. They were in a box labeled classic9leathershop.com.

I'm not sure if they came from him or not but they look amazing!!!. The owner decided to change colors back to original after he purchased them. What would these be worth? Any idea? Will sell for a fair price but I truly have no idea what they are worth..

Any help is appreciated. They are all the same color.

Note: the lighter color leather is from the old seats before new leather was added. These I will keep as evidence for the past.

Thanks,
Bryan

The second picture looks lighter but is the same color... Sun came out for a minute and made it look lighter.

Dont look like my 928 seat covers, but do look like Porsche seat covers. Maybe newer model 928. Check on Rob Budds websight. My new leather OB covers were close to $1500.

Id contact Robert Budd and see if he can verify that they are indeed 928 covers and what years they fit. He may be able to also help you determine there value.

Just a thought

They look two tone like Weissach seats

They are not two tone or at least their isn't two colors if that's what you mean. They almost look identical to my 2012 Grand Cherokee saddle leather seat color.. I will call Robert. He has been a good help in some other areas so maybe he can shed some light on where they possible came from.

They are definitely 928 seats (the PO bought them for the car himself) but mine don't currently have the elastic pocket in the rear of the seats and it's a 91 S4. Unsure if they were for a newer version or not. Will update after I speak with Robert.

Thanks,
Bryan

Because the pictures of sections are not shown in sequence together, IE: Seat bottom side bolsters and seat bottom center insert, Seat back bolsters & back and seat back front center insert; it is confusing in its appearance. The part that looks weird to me is what I perceive as the seat back center insert looks like it has a flap at the top that I do not understand. It would seem that it should have a taper to its form. Kinda strange in appearance. Looks like it may be "Cork" in color with black piping and insert dividers. Could be interested, but not my first choice, make me an offer.

I will post more pics with more organization.. didn't mean to be confusing. It was kind of how I laid all of them out that's all. I will also wipe them down as they have dust from sitting. More to come and my apologies.

A closer look on my part shows the part with the flap is actually the seat bottom as one piece with the "wings" being the bolsters and the "flap" portion that wraps over the back of the rear. The other parts are the upper back/front bolsters and the center portions with the taper visible. Part of the confusion results from the "wings" are shown backwards in the photos.

If they can be verified to be 928 covers, I may be interested depending on what you decide you need to get out of them. My interior is a saddle color as well and my seats could afford some attention! Just let me know.

Gotta ask: Are you sure those covers are Leather....and not vinyl? I could be wrong but I would not expect a white cloth-like product on the back of leather like what I see in your pictures. Just checking and could you confirm the product, please. Thanks.

Yes, they are leather. Update...

I spoke to the original owner and these were not from classic9leathershop. They were made by the upholstery shop here locally to go into the car. The rear pockets were an add on by the PO as he wanted to have this in the car. So, these were made specifically to fit his car, meaning a 928 and are not for anything else.

He paid $700 to have these made locally and then changed his mind and purchased the seat covers from classic9leathershop instead as he decided on the original color instead of going darker.

ninespub is correct on the seats and how they are done, with the wings coming from the top portion and then the inner pieces, etc.

I packaged them up after I took the pics so I will unpack and take some more detailed pictures to give a better idea. I am just looking to sell them for a fair price and to help anyone that could use them. I am not sure how well they fit, what they looked like or what so that is why I am posting to be completely transparent. The good news is they were for our cars.. at least a 91 S4. Unsure how the seats changed from year to year but at least should work on all S4's... but I'm no expert. It seems a waste to just box them up and never use them.

Type of leather, fit, feel, color, for a transaction to go smoothly something face to face at one of the 928 get togethers, Sharks in the Park, Sharktoberfest, etc might work best.

I will be headed down to Irvine today and will be at the Marriott in Irvine. I could bring the seat covers if anyone wanted to see them between Irvine and Fresno. Driving back on Thursday.

Thanks,
Bryan

I would love to see them but I am on the other side of the country (BOO). Um I guess the million dollar question is, if the covers were made for a 91 model S4, they should also fit an 87 S4, correct?
If so, I guess the only other thing would be to work out some prices. Just let me know.
Thanks-Ryan
