Urgent help needed - heated seats

[997c2scab]

Guys,
All being well I am due to conclude the purchase of my new ( to me) v8 vantage tomorrow and have just realised that I forgot ask if they car has heated seats... Where are the buttons positioned if the car does have them.

I am buying the car from a distance so can so only have pictures to go on.

Thanks for your help.

The heated seat buttons are on the side of the seat nearest the centre console. It will be very difficult to tell from a photo unless you have close ups of that area.

So it's not the round buttons on the arm rest / centre consol? As I noticed some have 4/5 buttons where as the one listed has 3.

Unfortunately the current owner docent know as he only uses it in the summer

If you have 3 buttons on the inside of the seats then you have heated seats.
I'm assuming here that the front button doesn't get used for something else.
If you have heated seats and the owner has never tried them, then I suggest you get him to press the buttons. 2 settings to try. If he's never tried them, its possible that they may not work, (its not uncommon for a fuse to blow).

Don't worry that chassis does have heated seat fitted !

As said yes it does have heated seats.

See below Spec for the car.

It's definitely worth checking whether the heated seats work. One of mine failed (not just the fuse) and was repaired under warranty. It's quite a job to get the seat out so I don't imagine it would have been cheap.

Thanks for your help guys. Car bought and collecting tomorrow.

Have got extended warranty from works Newport pagnell so fingers crossed should be trouble free motoring.
