What's the longest a dealer has kept a car for unsold?

[Viper_Larry]

A local independent has a BMW Z4 for sale that was for sale before we moved out of the town 4 years ago and is STILL on the forecourt. I estimate 5 or 6 years its been for sale there. So unless it's the owners car, but right now it's back in the showroom. Used to be up for £15k IIRC and now under 10k

So just how long will he keep it I wonder?

Definitely not been sold and come back. It used to be a joke before we moved but I only passed the garage occassionally, since we moved 4 years ago I pass it every week and have a chuckle.

55k miles - must have been really high mileage when it was first up but now is reasonable. Still over priced...

Wow, that beats my story! Some of those cars look like they've been in there for 20 years!

as above I suspect it's just the dealers personal car

Unlikely, it stays in the same place on the forecourt for weeks on end and normally blocked in so can't have been moved.
