Is it worth it?

[DominicJE]

After serious thinking, I am thinking of keeping my car until I have it completely paid off (as I'm thinking about the future involving a new house, etc). Question is, I want to get the cooled seats for the driver side as it is very hot here in Florida.

How much do you think would it cost for it to be added? I have heated seats already. I've been looking at the actual equipment and it said like 400-600 dollars for the seat with the cool function, but I wonder if that can just be added on to my heated seat now?

It would probably be cheaper just to replace the unit instead of trying to retrofit the cooling onto it.

IMHO, it is totally worth it. When it gets over 100*F here, the seats do a great job of keeping my junk and back cool.

I love it!!

Parts for the seat are rather cheep. Pick up the dash console from Ebay and you should be able to do something DIY for under $500.

Dominic, I understand where you're coming from, particularly from a practicality/frugality perspective. Having said that, when the 2014s come out, with the (hopeful) upgrades in electronics, we're all going to be drooling, and many of us will be making the switch. I'm not saying you (or I, for that matter) are one of those people, but by the same token, I wouldn't be surprised if you did .

Ah yes, the impetuousness of youth.

Lol, you may be right. However, the only way I would switch is if I get my monthly payment less then what I'm paying now ($690.00) and I may go about leasing this time as well if that's the case.
