I just came across a 2003 SE7 that is being parted out with 81k miles. I've got an S. What are some common parts I might want to grab for my S? I LOVE luxury and gadgets. Any Ideas?

Well if your S is like mine, you have non heated vinyl seats. I'd snag the leather seats and switches.

 

Just noticed you are in CA so I guess you really don't need heated seats, but leather seats would be an improvement.

 

I'm in Placerville, so we do go below freezing for a bit during the winters, and I also like to travel over the hill to South Lake Tahoe quite often.

I already have the switches, but I am considering the seat heaters. I found that he wants $500 for the jump seats (Complete Setup), but that's out of my price range for now. Makes me wonder what the front seats would cost.

 

500 too much . Be patient on that one. Some one will want to dump some for 100 or less

 

Might grab the parts that are not so mail friendly... That fragile Fresh air cover thingy, and heavy stuff you might want

 

you could always buy a donor SE7 or HSE7 and switch your good motor and other parts over that way you can have all the fancy gadgets. RIGHT before I found my 04 D2 SE I found a 2003 S and nearly bought it! Took it for a test drive and looked it over. My observation was that it did not have the colored front bumper, no fog lights, no leather interior, no 6 disk CD changer, no sunroofs, no navigation, no ace, no SLS, no rear parking sensors, plain boreing 16" wheels, no CDL etc. I decided that the extras mattered so I did not get it and shortly thereafter I found my current D2 with most of the goodies for the same asking price.

Good luck

 

From what I've seen, most front seats weem to go for about $150 each. The vinyl on my drivers seat is cracked in a few places so I'm probably going to do a leather seat upgrade myself sometime soon.

 

My biggest concern when I bought was to get the cleanest one I could find. I did succeed on that point, but had I known more, I would have held out for a 2004 SE7. The CDL is the biggest letdown for me, and the other extras would have been nice. I still LOVE my S, and it goes 90% of the places I want it to, so it's all good. It did come with the Fog Lights & 6 CD Changer (Sitting under seat Unused due to Stereo Upgrade); didn't really want sunroofs due to leaking (My Headliner is Pristine), didn't want built-in Navigation (Sucks to use), and I prefer the 16" wheels, especially now that I have cool tires on them.

Locking CDL, Jump Seats, Heated Seats. Those are my wish list at this point.

PS: I believe the prices being asked on this SE7 are probably too high for my blood.
