Do you have seat covers in your car ? what sort are they are ? I think that it adds value to your car when you take them off to resell the car..Its amazing how much they do protect the seats...

I don't have seat covers although I really know I should sweety! Here is the bit that upsets you though I expect - Niamh and I are really looking for baby pink seat covers - but Daddy and Niall are violently opposed to this idea! lol xxx

I don't have any, but I sure wish I did. My husband has a bad habit of eating in the car, and he is not neat. You are right, it does add value to the car if it is clean inside and out.

I dunno if it 'adds' value as such but i'm sure it could be a good selling point that might help you to get closer to your asking price :) I do have covers on my seats, they're black ones with little bright pink Playboy Bunny heads on them :) I haven't got any on the backseats yet but as soon as i can find them i'll try & get them. I do have a rug over the backseat though so that helps some! After i bought them i went back for the back ones but the store told me they didn't have that design for the backseat so you can imagine how peeved i was, what's the point in making a nice design in seat cover if you can only get the front ones? Silly people!

I know what you mean, I have a blanket on my back seat, its annoying..It does add value when you go to sell it and take them off and the seats are all clean and not ripped...I know its the first thing that i look at..

They are a great protection for the seats. It is horrible when you go looking for cars and the seats are torn. I just have plain ones on mine. I often think of getting some pretty ones, but never do. Maybe one day. cheers

hi calais, yes we do have that seat cover. I got 2 little daughters that usually kick the seat infront of them. And you know how messy little kids can make. My husband just bought the inexpensive one in walmart, just so the original seat not ruin.

I don't personally have seat covers but I want some wetokole seat covers. They'll protect your seat but they'll also look better than most seat covers. They are custom made for each car so the fitment is much better than going to the store and buying some seat covers. I think it could help the value in the long run but I don't think by very much. If you take car of your seats they will stay looking good for a long time, seat covers just seem to lower the maintenance.

I think that they are brilliant, they stop fading, and the normal wear and tear of the seats..

Sorry, Calais, but I don't drive a car. I used to drive a little, but got in a bad accident and was afraid to get back on the horse, LOL.

I have leather interior in my car in order to not need seat covers. I love that fact that I can wipe up anything that might happen on my seats. It have been great having these seats with a toddler on board. I do a great deal of wiping up, but they still look as good as the day I bought the car.
