Default What is the interior of a coupe worth?

I am almost done swapping out my light oak interior with pewter so in a few weeks I will have an entire light oak interior, except for the seat covers, ready to sell. The only flaw is a slight ware spot on the driver's side carpet but unless you a the seat set all the way back I don't think it will be visible; I also plan to shampoo the carpet prior to selling. The rest of the parts are a minimum a 8 out of 10 in condition and appearance. What do you all think I should sell the entire interior for; I would prefer to sell everything to one buyer?

Thanks

I'm interested. What's the complete set worth to you?

To be honest I am not sure. I want to be fair to both the buyer and me. I know the lowest price I found for new carpet was just under $1k and new door panels are around $800 each Hopefully I will get some input from other members but once I set the price you will have first right of refusal.

Cool thanks, I was able to research what new carpets costs but not new. It will be interesting to see what the winning bid is.

It appears that I'm doing the reverse of what you are doing. I'd like to swap out the pewter for oak on my TR coupe so that it will match my oak/TR vert. What are you doing w/your seat skins? I have a fresh set of pewter/black 2-tones that I'll have to deal with. Are yours in good shape? Would you be interested in swapping?

Man too bad we didn't get together sooner; after three weekends and several after work nights I just finished installing my new pewter interior like 15 minutes ago. My seat covers are OEM and in so so shape; the driver's side bolsters need replacing. However, I already promised them to a guy at my gym for his 97 vert.....sorry. After Labor Day weekend I will be cleaning up everything for selling if you can wait that long. All of the other parts are in really good condition.
