How much do vaders run?

[equate975]

Just curious because I found a car on the cheap with them in it, black, power (is there non-power ones?), I don't know what vaders go for, but they would make a good replacement for the m3 seats I have...

Like $300 for a mint one I believe

Noooo! Don't do it. They just don't look right in E30s.

That...

and they're FUCKING UGLY AS SIN.

I, along with a friend of mine, sold a pair last summer for $350 Canadian. I probably could have easily gotten more from them but they guy did drive like 9 hours both ways to pick them up. Plus we acquired them for $100 and then we thoroughly cleaned and conditioned them.



edit:I sold them because there was no way in hell i wanted them in my car. The car they went into was an E36, so no E30s were harmed in this transaction.

[ColdAccord]

good deals. i see them go in the 500-700 range.

i have them in my 328i



shitty pic. they don't look anywhere near as cracky in person

[Jand3rson]

They're ok for E36's, but they just look terrible in E30's. And they aren't supportive for hard driving at all. I'm a bigger guy, and I was sliding all over the place in them in Jordan's car.

Plus they are surprisingly heavy.

They look cool, really aren't anything special to sit in. I sold some dove gray manual ones for $350 picked up, also leatheriqued a nice black power heated set, they looked new when I was done, got $1200 shipped on ebay.

400-600 is a good range for decent sets, maybe 800 if black, power and nice.

SELL LOCALLY. THEY ARE BIG AND HEAVY AND EVIL AND SHIPPING SUCKS. I ended up building a wooden crate and sending them freight, pain in the ass.

Plus they are surprisingly heavy.

Surprisingly nothing. I thought they honestly weighed more than they do. Why people would want to go to something even heavier than heavy-ass E30 sport seats is beyond me. The MkII GTi Recaros I just put in seriously weigh like 2/3 what sport seats do.

[ColdAccord]

yeah mine are manual non-heated and the things are stupid heavy.

way more comfy than e36 non-sport seats though

another vote for 'i would never put them in my e30'

Vaders do not run. They are seats. OP, you are silly.
