How much $ does a 3rd-row bench seat go for?

[ganchan]

I don't need or want the 3rd-row bench seat in my 2000 Eddie Bauer, nor do I want to hold the thing in storage for no reason, so i plan to sell it on Craigslist (which I think will be the easiest way). What do these things normally go for when they're in fair-to-good condition for their age? (No rips, leather in good shape, but some rust on the connecting bar).

$100 seems legit. Some feel they are worth more, others willing to take far less.

Wow, thanks for all that. I did see someone near me (Central TX) selling hers for $250....but the ad has been up since Feb.

$250.00 Is way to much to pay. I have seen them anywhere from $25.00 to $100.00

I have always removed my 3rd row seat in the 1st gen expys that I have owned And I wouldn't buy a expy without the seat. So if I were to look at an expy without a seat my offer would be lower.

They tend to sell better if the seat is available or available to a potential buyer

U-Pull-It price near me $30.00 and I have seen a few that were still in the expys

Been trying to sell mine over a year. Asked $50 never got a hit. Finally gave up. Not sure what to do with it.

I guess if you're not in urgent need of 50 bucks, you can just dump it. (But where?)

In the meantime, I would assume that lugging the extra weight around is costing you something at the gas pump....

It's been sitting in a basement closet for years now.. Not in urgent need of $50 but no idea where to dump it either. I might try posting it on CL for free..

 

[ganchan]

Would a junk yard take it off your hands? Or do they only accept entire cars?

I'll try CL first. There are so many old Expeditions around here, surely somebody could use the thing....

You could strip all the foam off of it and take the metal frame to a metal recycler. You'll get a little money for it- not much since steel scrap prices are so low.

Using mine as a porch seat.
