Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

I thought of replacing them but the local Porsche scavenger shops wanted between $1200 and $1800 for used ones.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

9 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

1 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have a 2001. What are the newest year seats which are compatible?

POST 2Original post

I don't know which are the newest, but I just put 997 seats (don't know what year), into my '99 996. They fit and work fine.

POST 3Original post

I have a set of black 996 seats in Orlando if you are interested?

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Sent you a PM, Thanks.

POST 5Original post

Did you look into recovering them? There are pre-made kits on the market for less than $1000. Installation is a few hundred. Most of the seats I've looked like are worn and not that much better than mine.

POST 6Original post

I have two sets of 996 heated seats w the crest on the headrest... one is the factory black leather and one is sprayed sports red. I'm selling if interested

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

997rs4.0. I got them installed today. What a difference! Thank you!

POST 8Original post

Glad it worked out! Hopefully we can meet up at some event?

POST 9Original post

The OEM seats in my C4 were pretty bad when I bought the car . I thought of replacing them but the local Porsche scavenger shops wanted between $1200 and $1800 for used ones. Plus the cost of installation. I looked into having them reupholstered in leather. The color is Savannah so I got a recommendation from a fellow P-car owner and the cost was a little less than $1500, which included installation and replacement of a new motor for the passenger seat. The OEM seats were leather (center part) but the bolsters were vinyl. Not sure if all 996s are like that but now I have 100% leather seats. It is something to consider. It took them three days to do the job and I am very happy with the results. Also, if your seat are not too damaged, many times they can be repaired and redyed. My friend Rolf had his '03 996 cab repaired and resprayed the seats and they now look like new You just got to shop around
