What's the going rate for a set of recaro ed1's including door cards?
Really want some recaros for the golf but just seem so hard to find.
Got the cash and willing to pay good money but no joy.

It can be a tough one to call but it's whatever you're prepared to pay for them really. I sold a good set of grey with red/black stripes a couple of years back with door cards and I sold them for £500. They were snapped up after a week or so. But as with anything like these, good sets can command princely sums and there is many a joker out there selling shoddy seats with torn fabric for just stupid money. But these seem to attract the 'Scene Tax' status.
Take your time finding a set and be prepared to negotiate.

Thanks Simon, there is a set on eBay at the mo, offered the guy 550 deliverd wich he first of agreed too but has now decided he can't be arsed to post them and I have no way of collecting them so back to square one :angry:
-
Why don't you send some courier service to collect them?
If he can't be bothered you should do it yourself?
People stick engines on pallets and get companies to pick up and drop off at a small fee?
-
Because he can't be bothered to put them on pallet. Oh well am sure some more will turn up.
-
How many miles are you looking at because Hermes might pick them up loose unless he has cling film tape to wrap around them before it goes off?

Or say reduce the price for fuel?

He is about 140miles away from me.
Did offer extra money put not interested, wants cash on collection.
-
Aye a bit too far I guess!
I won't ever buy the Recaro seats they weigh too much have you ever lifted one seat you will be shocked at the weight mate.
they pop up now and then and may be closer next time.
I'm off to Portsmouth about 90 miles one way to pick up bits that I can't get anymore, but I'll make a day out of it.
-
Really like the look/shape of the recaros.
Another option would be Porsche front seats and get rear bench and door cards retrimed to match.
Just not sure how hard it is to get the seats to fit.
-
140 miles is nothing. Get ya backside there :tongue:
Going rate for recaros now is above £650 for full interior.
-
Haha thanks mr blue, buy the way your car is mint.
It's not just the distance its getting the time I work a sh!ty shift pattern.
Don't mind paying a bit extra if something comes up more local. I'm going the vw festivel at Leeds in August, not sure if people will be selling out there? Probably not, just wishfull thinking but you never no.
-
There's currently a set on eBay near Liverpool, full interior!.. Last time i checked was at £200 with 5days left. There's also a set of mk3 electric recaros if that floats your boat :laugh:

What he just said.
How you you think we used to manage in the old days before the internet, online ads with pictures, paypal, cheap courier services... I don't know. Young uns these days want everything handed to them on a plate.
-
Haha wouldn't class myself as a young one but thanks anyway :wink:
The ones on eBay have been removed now.
Will just keep my eyes peeled for some more and maybe have to get off me arse and collect.
