NOS REcaro Seat For Sale - Reasonable



I posted this note two weeks ago and sold one of the two seats that I had
over the Internet, so I'll give this another go to see if I can sell the
remaining seat.  Adapter brackets are available for most Audi products that
have been officially imported into the United States.

Details:

1989 CT Seat 07326021 (driver's side), Custom Creme Beige MB Tex Vinyl
*Adjustable thigh support
*Adjustable upper latteral support
*Manual recline

The original dealer invoice cost (I still have the invoice from
Keiper/Recaro), in 1989, was $619.13 + shipping, the custom upholstery was
$525.00.  I have the matching headrest in Creme Beige MB Tex Vinyl ($35.10
dealer invoice cost).  This seat is leftover from when I owned a mobile
electronics/accessory store which I closed in 1991.  The seat has been
burried in my garage since then.

The retail price of a comparable seat today is $900, plus shipping and or
sales tax.

This seat is brand new (NOS = New Old Stock) and has never been installed in
a vehicle.  I am asking $400, UPS GroundTrack shipping included, anywhere in
the continental US.

This seat could be easily adapted by someone handy into a very cool office
chair. 

If you need more information, E-mail me at edf355@indirect.com. In most 
instances you will need to spend about $70 to buy an appropriate adaptor
bracket to mate the universal bottom of the Recaro to you existing seat
track mechanism.  I can direct you to a fabricator who can supply you with
the appropriate bracket.  If you wanted to upholster the seat to match
existing interior trim, figure on spending between $200, for cloth or vinyl,
to $500, for leather, at a local trim shop.)

I have two mounting brackets that I will give away to anyone who buys the
seats with the following applications:

VW - 82-89 Scirocco/82-84 Jetta/82-91 Cabriolet (1)
Chevrolet - 77-83 Corvette (2)

If you want to find matching seats, I can put you in touch with Recaro
dealers on either coast, but be prepared to pay retail prices, which is
25-30% higher than the dealer price listed above for a similar, current
model.  Still, getting a good deal on one of my seats will keep the overall
upgrade costs on a pair of seats much more reasonable than buying both at
full retail.
