As there have been several sets of leather seats being offered recently i wonder (hope) if a sense of calm could be on the way. Looking at the price of other Audi leather interiors being offered i have always been surprised at the high premium that A2 seats seem to command. This is no doubt the commercial sellers (our friends in Cambridge and the black country for example) have done everything they can to hype these "so rare; ultra rare, etc" sets to maximise their profit, which of course makes excellent business sense, to them.
The youngest A2 is now at least 11 years old and the numbers declining by RTA and terminal engine/gearbox failure.
The number of people wanting a leather interior is probably declining, most who want one probably already have one, no doubt there are a few (me included) who are thirsting for a particular spec. But would I pay £800 or so. A resounding NO from me.
As in all things the market will decide, a thing is worth what someone will pay for it.
I am reasonably confident that the commercial sellers have had few,if any, sales at the prices they have posted recently. Of course a mint low mileage heated sports set will always command a premium, but as stated they will be at least 11years old. I do hope a sense of calm is returning so people can upgrade their cars to the choice of spec for a reasonable outlay to continue their enjoyment of the addictive A2
