Goodbye, my loves

Blue Ap1 S2000 seats are sold. But I made a tidy profit and they went to a good home.

Purchased for $500 a month ago, sold today for $650, which was my asking price. I knew what I had-no lowballerz.

Sad to see them go as they were one of my dream seats, but it would have been more work than I realistically wanted to do to get them fitted properly. Glad I got to spend some time with them though. Like I said above, they went to a great home.

An older guy pulled up in a blue Sti. Polite, Eastern European accent, he wanted them for his blue bmw 2002 project. He sounded like he knew his way around a project, so I hope he gets these working properly in the Bavarian beast.

This money will almost cover two harnesses, which will go a long way towards having the Miata back to where it was prior to the break-in.

I didn’t get too many crazy Craigslist people (I’ve never had a bad CL experience actually) but there were two interesting offers...

And lastly... The competition. Absolutely fucking crack pipe on the first, nice price on the second (but Southcenter so they’re probably stolen and you should definitely meet at a police station for the buy)

I do love AP1 seats.

In fact, I wonder how easy it would be to fab mounts to install a pair of tan ones onto the Vette’s seat rails...

So... Some kid offered you the head of a shitty prelude, a “dab rig” which is some kind of vape thing and some used rims?

wow.

I honestly hate modern seats in 2002s just ruins the interior for me.

How the hell do they think that first set of seats is worth more than like 50 bucks? They look destroyed.

This is what comes up when you Google “2002 interior”. Camry... Sure. The Ford... Uh. Okay I guess I can see that? But the Clio and Solara? What?

WWhat I’m trying to say is I don’t know what the interior looks like. I like having comfort, support AND looks for retrofitted seats but at the end of the day I’ll sacrifice the looks and originality for the first two. I really hope the dude shoots me a picture of the finished project. I’ll definitely share it here if he does

My favorite part is in the ad he mentions that “one” of the seats is beat up. Okay.

And of course it’s in Black Diamond, because everyone wants to drive 70+ miles for a set of overpriced beat up seats.

Original seats. I am ok with e21 recaros.

But I’ve seen a few with e36 seats and I feel like it just ruins the interior vibe.

The comfort ones look even worse imo.

Nice score, surprised you were able to sell at asking price. Seems like people on craigslist REFUSE to pay the asking price regardless of it being a good deal. Gotta get $20 off or something just cuz. It’s always nice though when someone shows up who is worth having a conversation with rather than just being worried they will murder you the whole time.
