    Rear seat, what to do

    I like many of us have removed the rear seat since it would never be used by me plus I wanted that extra space. Now, no one would be interested in buying it. But how important do you think it would be, IF and that is a very big if, I should ever have to sell my beloved dragon, that it is included in the sale? Since the body shop is having to strip out the interior to do the repairs and remove the rear seat belts, told them to just leave them in a box. Thinking it is a dumpster filler. I suppose I could fab up a base and make a workshop love seat out of it.

    I kept mine and will keep it in my basement. It will be important when/if you sell the VX.

    Take it from the old guy - always always ALWAYS keep EVERYthing you take off ANY vehicle you own! The few sheckles that you make selling it MAY keep it from selling down the road; ask me how *I* know! Folded up, that seat takes up very little room; hell, stick it in the attic in a contractor bag! Wrap up those seat belts too...

    We all know that the rear seat is practically VESTIGIAL in the VX, but the PERCEPTION of the usability of the rear seat just MIGHT be what sells the vehicle to the next guy (or being able to SELL the usability to the guy's wife may be what sells it!). Just my 25 cents....

    I'll keep mines regardless of if is usefull yes or not.

    You never know when those rear seats becomes handy.Personally if i ever get drunk in a party & cannot drive i'll just fold them down close the rear door & take my nap right there.
    Dakar was just the begining.

    done that more than once...actually if you take the headrests of and recline them they will sit flat backwards and then you have a little bed...

    Fab a bolt on base (so it is still reinstallable) and use it as a computer gaming seat!

    I agree. Hold on to the seat somewhere.

    Now here's the really stupid part: You can still be arrested or ticketed for DUI Per Se. The law seems to believe that if you are near the car and have the keys, they you must have been driving. Check your local regulations.
