Default just called nissan parts

My burnt orange heated seats are worth $3,500 per seat.
If you dont believe me call your nissan dealership for the prices.
So that is a total of $7,000 for 2 heated burnt orange seats.
But now since i know how much there worth i can set a price ,but the price
is not going to be no where close to the dealership price.

Exactly, they are only worth as much as someone is willing to pay. So you really can't put a price.. Best offer or just hold on to them.

I'm possibly in the market for leather seats (not burnt orange tho, sorry). Dealerships are willing to put in aftermarket leather for ~$1000, so you're gonna have to price yours somewhere around there.

Yeah, most people aren't going to pay more than $500 for them because they can get their seats converted to leather for that price.

This is true to someone they may be worth 200 bucks and to another person they arent worth a damn dollar. Put them up for sale and see what you get

I think they are worth atleast a thousand. If they are heated and electronic that a more then a fair price.

Those seats are way better then aftermarket leather plus the fact that most 350z models have manual cloth seats without heat or electronic control.

I would sell them on ebay. Most of the time people on message boards want a unrealistic deal.

I sold my manual cloth seats for $450 on ebay a few weeks ago when no one wanted them here.

Good Luck.

Default thanks Red 6

Thanks for the advice Red 6 . I'll probably put them on ebay since everyone
want them for free.

Waaaa, people want a reasonable price and don't want to get jacked.

Illegal imports, just to let you know. If someone on Ebay asks if they can swap their non-heated cloth seats for your seats and everything will work, the answer is no.

I believe JimRHIT price is so low because he knows this. The only benefit your seats would give me over my manual cloth seats is that they're leather. The heating won't work anyways unless I run all new wiring and install switches to control your seats.

Yes, you might get some shmuck who doesn't realize he can't do this to pay $1000 for your seats on Ebay, have fun.

I wonder if I went to the dealer and said "I want a track model with no seats" If they would cut 7k from the price, lol.

Worth $7000!
I bet if I broke my Z down into parts and asked the dealer what they were "worth" that my Z would be a $100,000 car!
Ha...good luck with those seats...me...Ill take the Aftermarket Katzkins two tone leather for $460 or two tone from dealer themselves for $800 INSTALLED.
