I sent you a PM a while back. I'm in Orange County and interested in a swap + cash on my end. Let me know if you would like to take a look at my mint 18-ways (2k miles). I'm in Fullerton.

I'd trade you for my sofas, but the wife would kill me. Just yesterday she mentioned they were the most comfortable seats she has ever ridden in.

Timing is everything.

I would trade you if I had a GT3 or you had a GT4! Mismatch on the headrest stitching would be a bummer. So close.

I have a friend that recently purchased a '15 GT3 w/ LWBs. He has some orthopedic issues that are causing him to want to swap those seats for some 18-way sofas (he'll be keeping (storing) his LWBs). He's tried the local Milwaukee dealers and they are apparently confounded by this idea.

Can anyone recommend a dealer that can help him buy the 18-ways?

I think the only deal like this I've seen was a swap + $10k cash.

The only thing I would wonder about is if the car that initially had the bucket seats would have the correct electric connection to power the 18-way seats. Going the other way would of course be no problem.

At that point, one might wait for Porsche to start selling the LWB's. That is a hefty price for a swap plus cash.

I agree. If the LWB's are 15k ordered that's only valuing the 18 ways at 5k which seems low to me. But what do I know, I drive using "sofas"...

Question to ask a dealer is if a car with the sport buckets has the wiring harness that will work and provide power for the 18 way seats

Sadly the wait is coming up to 2 years with no indication of when they will be available to purchase.

I am sure we will eventually start seeing them in the used market. Let's be honest, the standard seats are super comfortable and give ample support for most situations. I would have to think long and hard if I had to swap them. I rather buy a set outright and have the option to go back.
