some asshole broke into my S and took the driver seat last night, insurance offered me $1000 to get new seat. are they low-balling me? should i accept the offer? Thanks

 

I checked with Honda part at Honda parts and found that the seat cannot be bought as a complete unit but rather by pieces which total well over $2000. But saying that I've heard horror stories where both seats were stolen and insurance company totaled car and the owner lost money. You can get a nice after market seat for $1000. Maybe do some wreckingyard checking for OEM seat?

 

Check the classifieds. I'm sure you can find a used one if similar condition for much less then a grand. Or you can upgrade like oldsoldier said.

 

yea i see good condition pairs on craigslist for 600 or less, I would take it, get a replacement seat, and spend the rest on something else for your car

 

spend the 60 dollars and get kodokans seat locks. wellll worth the peace of mind.

 

Is that $1,000 after deductible? If yes I don't think they're trying to rip you a new one.

 

Yeah that is low. Have them supply them for that.

 

$1000 would get you a nice aftermarket seat, or a used stock seat. A brand new OEM seat is going to be almost $2000.

 

i could swear that someone did a list out of the parts and it came to about $4000 for one seat.

 

i would ask for WAY more than $1k to replace an seat given the dealer cost
