If I was selling it then it'd be about £350-£400.

If I was buying it then it wouldn't be much more than £40-50.

anything under 300 for a good condition leather interior is a good buy. they are about 1k extra when new, and does help selling the car for sure.

I have leather in my vectra and i won't be getting it in my next car. just find it either too cold, too hot, sticky and not as easy to clean as upholstery tbh

seen couple of black ones this week on ebay, one guy wanted £700 !!!! was with door cards, but wtf!!! crazy money for 2nd hand leather. was the proper recaro one tho, but still !

other one is the more standard type, reckon that will prob go over £400 tho :(

beige set last week went for a more sensible £280, but had no door cards.

defo gotta get some, as its for my 4motion and they always sell better come resale time with leather, so rather do it now  and get some use out of it.

plus i am puttin a full R32 kit/exhaust on so defo need the leather, or would look well bad with red and black cloth :(

anyone selling there leather on here at the mo, or on edition 38?????????

thx for the replys ppl.

no forums are mainly to maintain a community, and pass on maintenance hints, or share an interest.

These types of post are exactly the same as "how much is it worth" threads, you pay what you want, you don't let someone else tell you how much to pay.

Tell you what, here is some cheese.... (http://www.meyenberg.com/catalog/images/Cheddar%20w_Basil%205%20x%204%20copy.jpg) pay me 6million pounds.

or alternatively, have a look around at other "same" cheeses and pay what most people pay.

yeh, heard the mk2 ones go for a fair wack!

got a set from flebay, 400, with door cards, not the recaro badged ones, but still a decent hug me type seats, not sure what the difference is between them?
got a set of recaro style in red and black cloth at the minute, is there any difference between the ones badged 'recaro' and the ones without??? seem the same to me???

The one's badged recaro have bigger side bolsters than the non recaro but the there still pretty good, have em in mine too mate! 400 is a good price mate congratulations

And slick, no matter what the situation, theres no need to be sarky if someones asking a genuine question.  :wink:

Who's being sarcy? Either do your research or get stung for what you are looking for like a mug. Easy option really.

Totally agree slick, but I would say that asking your peers on a topical forum surley forms part of anyones research.....
