Default Seat decision

After traveling over 4000 miles in the last several weeks to and from Parade in our Boxster Sypder with Sport Bucket seats, my wife asked that I consider taking the Sport Buckets out of the GT3 and putting the Adaptive Sport seats back in so we have one Porsche for traveling that has some seat adjustment. How could I argue with my best friend for over 47 years. It is not really a hard decision as I do not track the GT3 ( the '83 911 better serves that enjoyment) and the Spyder is the auto x car.

That said I am thinking (no firm decision yet) of putting the Sport Buckets from the GT3 on the market. Black leather with Alcantera inserts. The seats are like new, neither of us smoke, we both weigh less than 155 and the seats are low milage. Have no idea what the market value is but would appreciate suggestions.

Last couple of sets have sold in the $7-$7.5k range.

New prices have only gone up helping the used market prices on these.

Don't sell them. You'd lose more on resale by having *** rather than the stock seats than you'd gain short term.

Actually Adaptive heats sport seats were the originally ordered seats in this car and i bought the Sport Buckets new when I got the GT3, and selling the GT3 is not planned for the foreseeable future. Let my kids worry that when I'm gone
