Auxiliary Cupholder

Does anyone want to sell their Auxiliary Cupholder? This is the cupholder that plugs in the hole at the base of the passenger drive seat.

Thanks!

Obviously you've had the pleasure of stopping by the stealership for a price on one. About $125 if my memory serves me correctly.

I think they were eliminated on the later models. They used to plug into the bottom of the seat in the front on the end of the plastic.

I think this was an option, it's listed on my build sheet under options which I got from the dealer ...it's a mounting socket on the passenger's seat inner corner where the plastic is missing exposing the mounting area. The cup holder as I was qouted was $150 from the dealer, they may knock a few bucks off who knows. I'm indifferent, it's nice to have sure but I don't know if it's really a must have item for me...

2003 was the last year for the cup holder. My 2004 does not have it, but there is a picture of the cup holder in my sl manual.
