Yes, we’re talking about the factory seats with XSA option. Appreciate the feedback.

When you buy a car - you buy the whole package, with or without sports seats.

I believe, that sports seats, separated from a 993 are worth more than if they are included with the purchase of a 993.
In that case the value is probably around 5 - 10 K.

Just think about the turbo spoiler from the 993 TT. My car has the original turbo spoiler fitted to WB 993 4s, does that mean I would get the extra value for the highly expensive spoiler?
In don't think I would.

I don't think that's really comparable because sports seats could have been optioned on the car whereas the turbo spoiler could not.

i assume he means the aero kit wing and not the standard turbo wing. for most people, i think the sport seats hold far more value than the aero kit wing. you're right about the 'package' of the car, but if i were considering a 4S with and a 4S without sport seats - everything else somehow equal - i would put at least a $5k premium of the seat upgrade. it's a simple matter of knowing what it would take to add them, if you truly would. most of us love sport seats and i do believe they carry a premium when factoring price.

Would non factory optioned seats still add same value? Talking about a) aftermarket OE purchase b) That guy in Germany (name escapes me now)

Yes, given that good condition OEM Sport Seats are $10k for a pair. Waldemars obviously less so, but still a bonus over regular seats.

I think he meant the turbo spoiler. For two identical cars (if that's even possible) I would spend more for sport seats as well.

I stated 'original Turbo spoiler'. That piece will cost at least 10 K painted in the original color.
I would not pay that money on sports seats or the spoiler, my car came with the spoiler.

Speaking of sport seats...

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/19...carrera-4s-16/
  • WP0AA2994WS320868
  • 59k Miles
  • Arctic Silver Metallic Paint
  • Black Leather Upholstery
  • Power-Adjustable Sport Seats

IMO sport seats are the most underrated, and under valued, differentiator between cars.

I didn't know how rare they are when I bought my car.

Yes I get that. My car had an original turbo spoiler as well when I bought it. I sold it on bat and it hammered at $2,800
