Armrest For Sale On Ebay

[clifton 94]

Hi if anyone is interested there is a seller on eBay at the moment with two armrest for sale i have fitted one to my car and if you have a auto this is the best mod you will do

[matt-c]

Even with a manual it's a great mod, especially for those long cruises! I couldn't live without mine!

[Raymond.]

I have been looking for one but is £130+ acceptable or the going rate?

[ChrisIS200SportTTE]

Yes Ray that's the going rate. If you get one for £100 consider it a bargain!

[matt-c]

I paid £100 for mine (and it's in perfect condition, and came with everything needed - bolts, bracket, cubby hole liner and the all important magnet blank) and I think, personally, that's too much. I'd think that £50-£60 is more like it, but demand drives up the price! I really wanted one, and swore I wouldn't pay over £100, so when I was offered one at £100 I just thought "sod it" and snapped it up!

[rigga955]

Remember when I had my mgzr and the hot thing was to fit a armrest out of a rover tomcat, made a huge difference to the way you drove the car, and in hindsight the car should have come with one from new, but it was a relatively cheap mod at around £40 as a guy on the forums used to break the Turbo car on a regular basis so whilst the normal £130 price seems to many to be acceptable, I feel its too high for what its worth, partially because of the limited number of armrests available, this itself keeps prices high, so unless there are a source of alternative armrests that come on the market, that's the price you have to pay to secure one.

Totally agree Matt £100 is still too much but it's supply and demand. £100 is top whack what I'm prepared to pay hence I still don't have one as they all seem to sell for around £150! :(

Exactly. I fully agree - £100+ is too much for an armrest. But that's the price they are, and that's the price you/we have to pay if you/we want one. Originally when I was looking for one, I found a breaker on eBay that had a few, and he was trying to sell the armrest complete with full lower console for £280 - I asked him how much for just the armrest on it's own, and even offered to do a part exchange with my cubby hole (so his console was still complete) and he still wanted £220! I just laughed!

Same here, but keep looking and one will come available at the right price for you.

[Raymond.]

Well, I need one anyway so I best look into finding one after Christmas....

Are they available in cream/beige or are they all black?

[matt-c]

They did come in cream as well as black. There is a guy on here selling a cream one, I'll have a look for the thread, and you could shoot him a PM to see if he still has it?

Thanks for the link Matt,

Is everything so cheap on these or is he selling stuff cheap? A pair of folding mirrors for £60? Just sold mine of the BM for £180.

I'm going to LOVE this little Lexus!!

Now if this fits ok and looks sort of factory for when its installed I'd consider it as an option

A member fitted this to his IS. It got the thumbs down lol

[matt-c]

Yeah must admit, the universal ones don't look great. Might be fine functionally, but looks wise, not good....

[Raymond.]

I don't think I could live with that.

I've got some strange OEM weirdness....

[rigga955]

I think the aftermarket one that a member fitted was just the box type one and not the type i linked to?

Agreed not as astheticly pleasing as the factory one but allowances have to be made considering the price differential ,

[clifton 94]

Hi think of it this way its less than a two tanks of petrol and will last as long as the car and once you have it in the car and used it on a long journey the price will be forgot trust me i cant even remember how much i paid for mine but that maybe old age

No I wasn't thinking of your armrest sorry.

This is the one I was thinking of

Can u put a link to yours?

[matt-c]

^ That's the one I was thinking of too.

[rigga955]

Yup that boxy one I agree is not quite right, and was the one I was thinking of too, the stilo one if I recall was a lot better, I still think the eBay one I linked to is not that bad especially for the money involved, I might get one and see how it goes, never gonna pay the going rate for a Lexus one as its not worth that to me.
