I have a brand new set of seat covers for a 2003-2004 and I was wondering what the value of them would be. They are OEM and were removed from a car that had less than 100 miles on it when it was totaled. They have some wrinkles from being stored but have no wear or tear on them at all from being used. I wouldn't be selling them but I am having some health issues and need to get as much liquid cash as I can. I'm linking pictures below.

Those look to be some serious creases. It's about $1k for a brand new set from TMI which are identical. I don't put much value on OEM seat covers since TMI ones are so nice and you can't tell the difference. That being said maybe $500?

The wrinkles will all steam out no problem, they look worse in the pictures than they are.

The reproduction covers you mentioned ARE NOT identical, they aren't the same quality and more importantly they lack the Cobra embroidered in the seat backs. The only way to get those are with the OEM seat covers. Having seen the reproduction covers in person, and having had the originals in my 03 Terminator and having a spare set of originals the quality isn't close. The reproduction covers are garbage comparatively.

Just 1 seat cover of the set has sold for more than $500-$750 on eBay, I couldn't get anywhere close to that for the set. The minimum I'd accept would be somewhere around $2250 plus shipping. I haven't even seen a new set on eBay in a very long time.

Like I said, I don't value used seat covers much. Maybe someone else will.

I had a set of mystichrome covers from TMI and they were just as nice as my stockers with the cobra logo and everything.

Same here. Bought a set as a spare to hold on to. Was extremely impressed and this thread is a good reminder for me to take them out of the box and give them their annual conditioning. They look every bit as nice and well made as the OEM ones.

Any yes, TMI will sell with the Cobra. For $2250+ Shipping you are about $1K over the price for new TMI covers. 99% of buyers will opt for TMI as they are exact replacements and will be fresher leather. You'll have to wait for that person that has to have OEM and is willing to pay a lot extra for it. Can happen but you may be sitting on them for a while.

To add. Their are several different levels of replacement covers made. I'd be surprised if the ones you saw were not vinyl especially if they didn't have the cobra.

Good ones:

Why are you asking if you are going to tell us what they are worth anyway. Why don't you just list this in the market section because I believe this is a sale thread.
