i thought i'd have better luck posting over here - anyone have/know of a pair for sale? seems i just missed fritz's.

i am trying to pick up used vs. biting the bullet and going to suncoast for new.

thanks.

these things are worth their weight in gold ... you will be lucky to find anyone with a pair that will part with them ... if so they will be around the $5k point ...

Gemballa had a set on eBay for $8k ... call em and offer them a deal!

good luck

Gemballa still sells stuff form "over" there?

Larry Cable

apparently, although 8250 is nuts for seats that are either new or used, they state both on the eBay page ...

I'd throw'em an offer of $5k ...

Spiffyjiff

youre tellin me. smugglers should run these things instead of drugs.

one other question now that i'm thinking about it - should i get leather or the cloth if i have to go new? fyi, it's also a daily driver and i do like leather (but i will have the comfort of my stock seats in for half the year/off season at least). alcantara is out of the question...unless i have $3500 extra lying around for the replacement inserts on suncoast!

Larry Cable

its even true of the old 996 recaros ... if I had known that they would jump from 2200 a pair to 4k I would have started a 'recaros futures' mkt!

I would go for leather, I had nomex recaros in my clubsport and after a few driving events, lets just say they adopted a certain "eau de locker room" ...

YMMV!



p.s
You *may* be able to order leather/alacantara seats from a dealer for less than the cost of the seats+cushions from suncoast

Contact Isringhaus or something like that near Chicago. They have a new set for around $5800 or so. Great deal! Tell the guy in parts that Stuart from DC sent you as I will not be taking them and he might have been holding them for me.

Good luck,

Stu

I just bought a brand new set of GT2 seats in cloth from Suncoast using the 20% off Porsche coupon (http://suncoast.porschedealer.com/20...04/special.php). With the coupon, the price comes to about $5570. That's not a bad deal for new seats. Note that coupon is only good until March 31.

Larry Cable

great deal thanks for sharing this!

Spiffyjiff

i'm assuming that's for the cloth? i think the last time i checked the leather price, with coupon, it only came down to about 6k or so.

Larry Cable

They just quoted me 6642 incl shipping...

mooty

see, if you would have bought mine, you would have saved 1600 :-)

Jake951

Yes, the price I quoted is for the cloth seats.

Spiffyjiff

man, that's just kooky talk. how on earth are these things so damn expensive?!? i know i know, theyre well built, safety shouldnt have a price tag, etc etc. i'm just whining...but still...

guess i'll keep trolling for used.
