Is used carpet worth it?

[kavadarci]

Hi,
I have an opportunity to buy used carpet that looks in great shape.
I was told not to do it as once removed it’s all stretched and not the same.

Has anyone purchased used carpet and what is your experience?

I know new is new but it’s three times the cost.

Thank you

I replaced my carpets with all new.

Used the existing for sizing.

Pay a shop to do the beading as needed.

Maybe worth a try? If you go used post and let us know.

Why was it removed?

I bought used carpet once for my 911 through ebay it looked perfect and it was but it smelled like horses no matter what I did I could not get the smell out of it. So I threw it away and bought new.

New carpet is such a huge plus for the looks of your interior that unless you got the used carpet for free and just needed to get your car finished I think you would be wasting money.

I am in the same situation, except my carpet is not very common.

Ok, thank you everyone.
I’m not buying the used one.

Did you buy your pcar used? And you sat in the used seats? Eeuuuu! 😮 did you know who and where the previous butts were from?

You could have carpet professionally cleaned, but w/o knowing the breed of animal that previously inhabited it........ ??
