sparco evo3(xl)

I was in a local performance shop today and they had a sparco evo 3(xl) in there that they have had for about 2 months now and they said they would sell it to me for 620 out the door. Now is this a good price for this seat? Another question is will it fit in an fc with a roll bar?

$620 for one seat. If sitting on a $620 seat sounds like a good idea to you, go for it. I have better things to spend that much on though

O trust me i can think of many other things to use the money on as well. However when one seat is about 750 to 800 bucks and used ones are going about 700 it makes me think that its too go to pass up. But that's why i asked if it was a good deal. I also feel that with any fixed back seat you get what you pay for and if you have to pay a little more to feel safe driving in then that's fine by me.

If you could get a brand new (with zero miles) Bugatti Veyron for $300,000, would you pass up the deal because it's too good of a deal to pass on?

That's how I see it. A smoking deal is not so hot if you a)don't need it, or b)can't afford it.

But, then again, they might be some REALLY nice seats.


You know. To sit on.


For $620.


Each.

But to answer your question, it's apparently a good price, seeing as most other places sell them for over $700. And they'd probably fit in the car with a roll bar.

So if you later get a passenger seat you could have the value of your car equaled by two seats? This sounds like a sound investment to me......

Very true and I think that that I was trying to convince myself that it was a good idea but after some thought and doing some number crunching I don't think it makes good sense to do that right now.

i was at the drift race at road atlanta a few years ago and i sat in an evo seat at the sparco tent, it was the end of the day and they were packing up, and the guy told me he would give it to me for $350 just so he did not have to pack it back up. i jumped on it!!
i think your guys would go lower if they really wanted it gone
