Default Looking for HB sportseats in cashmere

Anyone have a lead on Hard Back Sport Seats in very nice (like new) condition? I prefer original to the reupholstered. They need to have heat, crests and power. I know Carnewal has them now but they are way out of my price range. TIA

If you're looking for original seats that are now over 15 years old, but also looking for them to be in "like new" condition, you're in for a very long search.

If you don't wanna pony up Carnewal prices, you might be better off to find seats that are worn appropriately for 15+ years and have them reupholstered yourself

All it takes is $20,000. Do it. You can always make more.

There is at least one set on Ebay from LA Porsche Dismantlers. 5,000. They dropped the price from 8,000. They are recovered…but they don't look to have done a very good job.

HB Sport seats for a 993 WITH heat and crests...expect to spend in excess of $6K for color choice IF....IF....IF you can ever find them.

HB Sport seats in desired color...maybe $4500 in great shape
HB Sport Seats in desired color w/heat...maybe $5500 in great shape
HB SPoprt seats with everything...dude, your killing me

Thanks guys, you're not telling me anything new. Yes, I know it will be a tough find that's why I'm putting feelers out here. 6K no problem, but Carnewal's 20k no way. I missed out on a sweet pair a couple years ago, hopefully they aren't a once in a life time find

Opo may have lost a set or two in that humongous warehouse of his.

I lost a pair with my exact requirements to Opo a couple years ago. Maybe he's ready to sell them now...

When selling cars at a volume Toyota dealer, I used to get such insanely specific requests on used cars...
My suggestion was for the prospective buyer to simply order exactly what he wanted from the used car factory!
