I got a free blue leather interior today in decent condition will look heaps better once i treat the leather with sum stuff. does anyone have a rough idea of what its worth?

i want recaros so ill probably sell it to help fund some of them.


oh yeah its from a 4 door and i got the door cards and some other bits probably chuck in the centre console and sun visors and any other stuff that goes with it.

The market over here is not brilliant (assuming its comfort leather).

The demand is for sports leather which sells for good money and cab leather sells for top dollar normally around the £500 plus for cab and £300 for saloon.

But back to your original question, comfort leather over here struggles to make much over £100 - 150.

IMHO !!!!!!

YEah I sold a set of black comfort touring leather recently for £170! And that was for a touring, wasn't very impressed. I did get the £350 asking for my sport leather though so it's swings and roundabouts.




:oops:

If you come by another set of touring leather for that price let me know!

Blue not a very popular colour, maybe 70 quid max value. Sorry :roll: . But if it was free a real bargain. :D
