Default How much are sport seats?

What should I consider a reasonable price for a set of heated sport seats? (Sport, 14 way, whatever they are called)

What are you looking for exactly? ‘Sports Seats’ are manual front back and electric tilt with a hard shell. “Adaptive sport seats” have all electric adjustments (and memory I think). They both have that shoulder winglet. Comfort seats suck.

Then there’s alcantara versions of those 2 sport seats.

Leather regular sports seats I think go for 1,500-2,000. Adaptive I thought were closer to 2,500. Someone can correct me on that.

I paid $1600 shipped for a set of painted back adaptive sport seats with 40k on them from a dismantler on ebay.

I wouldnt give more than 2k for any set

looking to upgrade my stock seats. I like the winglets, so sport or adaptive sport. Whats bad about the comfort seats?
I see sets on ebay from dismantlers for $2500-$3k for decent condition and it just seems high. Didnt know if i was just being cheap

I think by any stretch, $1600 for adaptive is a great deal. Not sure that’s the norm though. Obviously it’ll depend on quality. Was the paint oem?

OEM, great shape. Of course, the tan/blue back combo was highly specific but it worked for me.

Well to answer your specific question, the answer is the car you want to drive on Monday morning despite it's relegation to the weekend . 718 it is for you my friend! I have an RS5 as a daily for the practicality and while you can debate the M3/4 vs. RS4/5 decision the 718 will run rings around both for weekend pleasures, unless you like your ladies hefty and compromised
