    Ordering Vintage Seats

    Hi Everyone,

    New member here. I've been having a heck of time trying to contact Vintage Seats to place an order for a pair of seats. I've called several times (sent email too) and left messages over the past few weeks, but no response. After doing a search, it seems that others have had similar experiences. I've read at some point, Michael of Vintage Seats, finally responds, takes the order, and the customer receives their seats after a certain time period.

    Is this standard procedure when ordering from them or am I just spinning wheels? I'm more than willing to be patient, because the look and build quality of the seats seems to be incredible. I'm just wondering if there's a better way to contact them and place an order. Any info would be much appreciated!

    Thanks!

    Well that's a problem, because I am too...haha! At this rate, I'll never get my order in!

    Kidding aside, I hope you're right...thanks for the assurance!

    There are several very successful businesses that operate this way, however I am not patient enough to give them my business. For repro seats I have used Stefan at classiccarseats.com, he actually answers the phone over the weekend.

    I understand what he is saying, true Recaro or Scheel seats will not depreciate over time. If that matters to you, if not go with the repos
