Question

I have just ordered some front seats for my 'classic' Scoob from Minland. Prodrive do not do the interior package for that model now but they did have 2 pairs of electrically adjustable seats,logoed with Recaro/Prodrive on them I think they were an option for the P1.
The cynic in me wants to know if I have payed a fair price.
WEhat do you think for 2 of the above seats including Fitting and VAT???

Serious answers only please (bearing in mind what you say wil either make me feel ok or very sick)


chers

Mate i hate to bring you bad news but the reason they are doing them for that price is simple. Subaru are running out the stock and as such have offered dealers an 82% discount on the seats, making them £125.10 +vat each so the dealer must be laughing his head off now with the profit he is making on the seats he is selling you. If i were you i would do a bit of calling around and try and get a better deal. Even the mounting brackets are only £25 each now.

Jazz and Simon H.........apparently there are only two sets of these seats left.
One set are already on order, therefore there are one set left and they have the triangular pattern in the the centre of the seat not the light grey alacantara, so they might not lookk right inside you're vehicle unless you already have this type of pattern.
just a thought

Naaa, its all good. I just hate people being ripped off. I told my boss about it and he laughed about it. Our parts boss is a top bloke and he is never about to rip someone off. nice seats for the money!!

Companies need to make money but they also need to keep loyal customers by treating them well.
