Post by: MAT ED30 on March 19, 2014, 11:31:04 am: simple thing is don't buy them or ask the seller to 100% prove the seats being sold are from a written off car or its fully legit. I can see police pulling cars over and asking people where did you get those seats from

Post by: MAT ED30 on March 19, 2014, 11:48:33 am: why would you take these out of an rs4 to sell them if its your car :confused: why don't the police contact these sellers and get them to prove how they cam about these seats and if they can't prove it take em off them

Post by: Marc-5-GTI on March 19, 2014, 11:51:27 am: X2 front recaro wingback seats

Any questions please ask
Collection from Wolverhampton just off juc 10 m6

Thanks for looking
No other parts for sale not braking the car just what's here
Xxxxxxxx call or text or mail me

See the police can't do anything unless they can prove they were stolen.... If I had them I'd be writing in UV ink all over them! Not that it won't wash off..... Hate things like this... But it can't be stopped.....

Title: Re: Bought any Audi seats recently?
Post by: Gide76 on March 19, 2014, 12:50:37 pm: Wonder if there was an option to buy back the seatless rs4 after it was written off.

Post by: tony_danza on March 19, 2014, 01:06:10 pm: It's amazing how many people go batsh*t crazy when a car gets stolen on here, "bring back hanging"..... yet will happily buy parts like this no questions asked. Where honestly do you think they've come from?

La la la la laaaa, I can't hear you. :confused:
Title: Re: Bought any Audi seats recently?
Post by: Dannyboy88 on March 19, 2014, 01:25:14 pm: Mine are stolen from a A5 S-line but they managed to steal the rears for me aswell.

Post by: MC71 on March 19, 2014, 01:38:29 pm: Personally I'm hoping for some stolen Porsche seats! :drool:
Title: Re: Bought any Audi seats recently?
Post by: swgti on March 19, 2014, 03:38:05 pm: Why write the car off? Could they not just replace with the std seats if the owner was happy with that or do they not make those anymore either?

The scene gays don't care. More money to pay for the 2-3k retrimming bill.

Anyway, pole positions FTW

Post by: ali6n2 on March 19, 2014, 05:05:59 pm: Let em write it off, buy it back for waaay less and stick standard leather seats in! Don't see the issue
Title: Re: Bought any Audi seats recently?
Post by: Gide76 on March 19, 2014, 05:55:48 pm: It seems bizarre. New seats £19k value of car £26k. Not sure how it all works but let's say buy it back for £7k get some 2nd hand seats and flog it for a load of money!

I'm sure that can't be right can it?

Post by: Poverty on March 19, 2014, 08:11:42 pm: I'm sure it's wrong. New set of buckets from Audi is like 5-6k, 2hrs labour to fit, hardly a write off
Title: Re: Bought any Audi seats recently?
Post by: tony_danza on March 19, 2014, 08:56:00 pm: It is when the dealership slings in a 'kick in the balls bid' to the insurance company off the back of it.

Exactly what I thought ! Where on earth they get 19 grand from is beyond me :scared:

Well i must have missed something then. 20 hrs @ £132 is £2640
Obviously there are parts costs involved, but I can see them being 17 grands worth.

Post by: simonp on March 21, 2014, 04:15:01 am: They're also smashing windows and ripping out the interior alarm sensors, plus I expect a lot of convertibles get targeted and end up needing a new roof. The £19K is probably the most damaged car, you know what the papers are like!
Title: Re: Bought any Audi seats recently?
Post by: markc on March 21, 2014, 04:19:50 pm: Therefore it doesn't explain properly why in the article does it.
