[s-cars] Ecru Seats

[Tom Green]

You should feel "used" perhaps, but not "abused", Dave.  Although there
are bargains to be had from salvage yards that do not deal in Audi  
parts,
the reality is most seats there are probably pretty worn by now.   
Most of
the places I have seen don't really care about interiors and take no  
pains
to secure them from the weather.  Even Dads, who specializes in Audi,  
lets
the URS interiors bake in the California sun and soak in the winter  
rains.

The few well cared for seats that come on the market are premium  
articles.
The abused seats are junk, and if they are dirty, you really can't  
tell what is
underneath.

I didn't write to offend, but to point out the slim odds of locating any
"cheap" seats, and to ridicule the idea that painted seats are anything
like leather seats. I think someone who spends $5K+ upgrading the car
and lavishing a great deal of time as well should consider a few hundred
on the part they use the most.
