if you could get it under 20g....say around 19g it'd be a awesome buy
make sure you get it all mechanically checked too, if thats all clear GO FOR IT!
for 19g, if the condition of the interior really pisses you off that much, you could retrim the doors and buy some new recaros....you'd have a near-new interior for afew hundred bux...(thats taking into account you sold your old seats)
dude the recaros alway have a tendancey to stuff up on the edgest but i've never seen stailns like that in the back seat! the previous owner must have been a contorsionist! lol. but buy it nayway cause its a good price for what your getting (reg & warrantee ect.)

New recaros ain't only a few hundred bux. I'd say brand new, they'd be $800 each!Quote:

So to get second hand rear seats, passenger side door trim, and new recaros, how much would i be looking at?
More than that, I got a set 2nd hand (Black) for close to that (each) :eek: I think someone here said the DC5R Recaros were like $7000 new, for the pair (insurance), my guess would be that DC2R (SR3's) would be around $3500 new for the pair, maybe more :eek: :confused:Quote:

for the rear seat.. i duno ahah
as said before check with a black light i guess.. but looks more like a dodgy clean job
if its mechanically sound.. its all good..
as i said in my above post...thats taking into account that he sold his old ones...exampleQuote:

hmm I always thought that the door inserts were CF.
Or is that for more recent dc2r's?.
The fading on the seats is pretty normal I am sure. Usually caused when fat pricks try to sit in it.
a little off topic but where do you buy the recaros for that price from?
Im wondering why most dc2r's for private sale are advertised at around 24-26k? This seems to be very expensive and far in exceedance of the red book prices:
Trade in price guide* $13,500 - $15,400
National average price - private sale* $16,400 - $19,500
Do people really get around 25k for their dc2r's?
yes they do.
talk the dealer down a couple grand... then speak to one of the traders on here... they have door trim, front seats and I think also rear seats for sale... then with the extra $$$ you knock down buy replacement parts.
