Default Complete Seats, Black 40th Aniversary

I removed my stock 40th Aniversary black leather seats from my 1993 at 20,000 miles and have stored them in my Rec Room ever since. Excellent condition, no tears, marrs or wear marks. Standard seats (not sport seats with lumbar) with frames, sliders, and motors. Just bolt them in, plug them in and you're ready to go. Pictures are on craigslist:

$850 OBO. Prefer local pickup only. I'm in Fairfax, VA.

I'm curious... is no one interested? Price too high? Local pickup a problem?

Let me know. I need to sell these to offset some engine work. Thanks. --Ralph

I think the pricing is good, and negotiable. Especially when you see what the catalogs are asking for leather seat covers. And your offering is OEM.

I have a '93 with black interior, and my seats look good for a 70K mile car. The passenger side is perfect, and the driver has some wear on the outer bolster.

I would be all over them except I just did my 383 and my next thing may be wheels/tires.

I think that the C4s are falling to buyers of a different catagory/type. These cars are going for as low as a couple grand to about 14 grand (special models excluded). Someone that paid 6K for a toy probably doesn't want to spend almost a grand on seats or $1,500 on HRE, Fikse high end wheels. (you notice the high end wheel smove slow over here too) Especially since most need to spend the cash to get them running right.

anyway, heres a bump for ya

i agree with that statement alot. lol i am a prime example. i am 19 and just bought a c4 my first corvette. i have always wanted one, i grew up around them my grandad has always had at least 6 vettes. i have always been a camaro lover, which was a good thing because at my age and with my part time job thats what i could afford. but i just paid right at 5K for my vette and the car is not perfect i would love to buy a set of original seats but my car is not nice enough to have 40K mile seats in it as well as the majority of c4 corvettes, with the price of aftermarket covers i wont break the bank, i can install them myself and the quality would be on par with the cars condition.

btw good luck with your sale

Shop14: pm answered. Thanks.

Grinditout: I'm selling them as a complete set only. Thanks for asking.

Too_Hot and Maroon88: Thanks for the insight. I never thought of it from that perspective. I guess I'll just hold out for that owner that wants OEM seats in great condition. There's gotta be someone out there!

Nice seats! Someone will definately buy them. There are a few us us lowly C4 owners with jobs and a few bucks to spend on the toy. Good luck with the sale.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not bashing the new crop of C4 owners, just an observation. I've hade mine for 15 years. I paid about $ 30,000 for 1993 for mine and have spent quite a few more thousands over the years. I just don't see most new C4 owners that just spent $6K on a 100,000+ mile Vette able to afford to by the really nice stuff, Like these seats...and I think they are quite the bargain.

As stated. The right buyer will buy those seats. If mine were REALLy worn I'd do it. If your not in a hurry for cash...hang on to them they WILL sell.

Good luck..and bump

It is not that we are cheap, it is that for the price you are looking for, I could buy a set of '94 to '96 seats, which are more comfortable.

SOLD!! Thanks for all the encouragement. I sold the seats today to a local Vette owner for $800. I think it was a fair price.
