What To Pay For a Seat

Hey guys, i've finally found a Tacoma part out near me that has a driver's side bucket seat that i need to complete my swap from 60/40 seats to buckets. The seat looks like its in good shape with only a little wear from 200k miles of driving. The truck's a 97 I believe. Wondering what I should offer for it? I may buy both seats if the price is right just to have matching ones.

Let me know what you think. Thanks!

 

Think most salvage yards are like 2-300 a pair, I've been looking for some scion xb seats but everybody wants like 350 offer 100 per seat

 

Daang that's more than I was hoping. Guess its worth it though, ive had a center console laying around for a year now just waiting

So far the guy's been kinda rude on the phone, but 1st gen part-outs are soo rare in this area

 

You could offer him less haha worse he can say is no

 

FWIW I paid $150 for two bucket seats in great condition and the center console. But that was on craigslist

 

Thanks!

 

I paid $150 for a pair of buckets for mine. I'm out of upper east TN a few miles from VA. I dont know how far you are from Asheville, NC, but there is a guy who runs a small junkyard down there. I got mine off him. He is super cheap and deals with only toyota trucks. He had seats everywhere when I was there. Id be glad to pass on his number if you need it. Hope this helps, man!

 

If your local here in Southern California, go to Japanese Truck out in Wilmington. They have hundreds of those bucket seats and pretty much anything else you would need for your tacoma. They're # 1 Tacoma junk yard in my opinion because thats what they mainly specialize in so they have virtually everything tacoma!

 

A little far from Asheville, but I am occasionally down that way so maybe it I get desperate I'll let you know haha. Thanks!!

 

Unfortunately I live on the other side of the country. I live in VA and its so hard to find Tacoma parts!


The guy with the seat wanted $180 for JUST the driver's seat. I told him no way. Back to looking

 

No problem man! Lol wasn't too sure. I'm close to the VA line but I'm not too familiar with the state But now that I think about it, there was another guy I have talked to from Chilhowe, VA (once again, no clue on how far from you) and he was really reasonable on prices and also parted out only Toyotas. This is his info:
