It's because everybody's asking too much for a pile of rot with the excuse that they can be worth a lot of money when they're restored.
While it is just a bucket of rust it isn't worth much at all.
I'm not saying that yours is a pile of worthlessness but there are some...

I do not want to sell for a meagre price as the car is my pride and joy and has had a...

Yeah been looking on ebay for a set. The 944 or 928 ones go for a bit cheaper but not by much :/ I've sat in my uncles old Boxster Targa years ago and I can vouch that they are super comfy
