Ok, here is the deal. I am not fishing for offers. I am looking for a collective, educated opinion of their value.
Please do not PM me with absurdly low offers for purchase. I know that these are rare and were very expensive. The challenge is that they do not come up for sale very often, hence the difficulty in determining their value. Thanks again, Steve

Fredie,
you are kind of correct ..these are rare (depending if you live in the US) and where expensive with regard to automotive seating...but its a Recaro!
Couple of key points-
-A8's started production in 1989..............24 YEARS AGO! Hard to say how old these are, but they are version 1 and had a short production run due to the base issue.
-These are version 1 and All version 1's will experience seat base cracking. After a couple of years of V1 production an A8 with a redesigned base was sold as version 2.
-Used Version 2's are available in cloth overseas in the range of $1000-1500 pair and up to $2500 pair leather
Keep in mimd that Recaro offers a modern reclining hardback called the Sportster for around $1200 per seat cloth!
