FS - Porsche 996 black "comfort" seats $500obo, DC metro area

I've converted my car over for track use and no longer need these seats. They've spent the last 6 months under plastic in my basement or sitting in my living room while I've been trying to sell them, and it's time for them to go. The car had 90Kmi on it when I pulled them out, with a corresponding amount of daily-driver wear -- the worst of it is the driver's side bolster (see close up pictures below), but there are also some whitish discolorations, if you look close.

These seats are the "comfort" version of the seat, as differentiated primarily from the sport seats by their lack of "shoulder wings." They are also mostly electrically adjustable, and the car has memory buttons. The lumbar support is manual. They do not (to my knowledge) have seat heaters. I believe these will fit any 996 or 997, but will require some effort to make work in any car older than '99. They come with the seatbelt attachment points on the inside, as well as the sliders and the trim-bits that mount on the front of the sliders.

I live in Gaithersburg, and you're going to have to come pick them up, sorry. If I got really creative, I might be able to fit one at a time into my BMW, so if you're willing to take two trips, I'd meet you halfway somewhere, perhaps. I'd like to get $500, but I'm willing to listen to reasonable offers.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks!

Dan

They look good! How hard (if you have any idea) to get them to fit a 944?? My daughters 944 seats have started cracking thru the perfs. She's in VA near Dulles.

Good question. I did some googling and reading in various forums, and it looks like it's possible, though not necessarily easy, and definitely not "plug and play." They end up a little higher than the stock seats, which is a less-than-desirable outcome for a hard-driven car, but perhaps not too bad if your daughter uses it as a daily driver instead of a track-day car.

That's just based on reading a few forum posts, and isn't very detailed. If you're still interested, I'd google and read other people's descriptions and instructions carefully before committing.

Thanks,
Dan
