Default Two-tone seats with piping

Are these stock? I've never seen anything like this before in a 993.



I'm thinking of getting back into a 911 after a foolish and expensive detour into BMW M cars. The local dealer has a white '95 C4 on the lot, but the price seems really high ($37k) with 55k miles on it. These seats look like they've been re-covered, which makes the price seem even more out of line. It would look great with creator8's red volks, if I could talk them down closer to $30k.

Those appear to be recovered. IF seats are the only thing the car needs, I can tell you a good place if you PM me. Seats appear to be one of the 'weak links' with the 993. My seats were kind of trashed whe I got the car and I am in the process of installing a used, original set.

Save your money for other mods - just use a good quality leather dye on the seat inserts and you will be back into the black....

Black is a good option because it is a less 'uncommon' (more 'common')interior option - so you can get stuff for it more readily. Mine is cashmere (tan) - close second, but sometimes hard to get stuff. My drivers seat foam was pretty well blown out too. The cost to re-foam versus the used ones was too close.

I figured they were recovered - the leather (or *shudder* vinyl) is bunched a bit around the hinge.

What do you figure this car would be worth if everything else checked out?

The previous owner had mine dyed RED to match the car.

If everything checks out with a Pre-Purchase Inspection, PPI, then between $30 - $32K would be market. Good luck

Do not know if they are still available, but it gives you an idea.

Good luck
