Why do people pay more for a Sagaris than a Tuscan?

[OlderandWiser]

Scooting through the classifieds there's 2005 Sagarii (?) @ £45K < £58K, yet the same year Tuscans seem to be going for somewhere around the £30k mark....

Looking at http://www.howmanyleft.co.uk it seems that there are 134 Sags on the road with 21 SORNed, against 993 & 73 Tuscans.

So is it just comparative rarity?

Still prefer the Tuscan myself.............

I'll be watching this one

[OlderandWiser]

Yes, well I just thought I'd ask the question.

Everyone knows the Tuscan's a far better car anyway.......

Exclusivity costs. Its as simple as that.

[alex_gray255]

Simple.

I bought one, therefore Sagaris's are cool and more expensive.

QED.

Tuscan Convertibles are far better still and more exclusive (only 88 built) .

Yes but they all go bang

A diamond is a compressed heated chunk of carbon costing sometimes large sums of money. Diamond houses keep the number of diamonds artificially low to keep the prices high. Anything that is wanted and short on numbers will always demand a price.

Joe Carbuyer sees a Tuscan as a Tuscan and not a rare sub species of genus Tuscan. Sags are sags are sags and that's it. Now I would love a sag but honestly I've not been impressed with the quality of cars hitting 50k and I've said this to a dealer. 50k buys you some serious metal in the second hand market.

Totally agree with your wisdom there, Pauline.

Everyone is entitled to one or two big screwups in their lives - even if they are Older and Wiser.

Wisdom does comes with age as they say.









...and great wisdom with great age...



...and time to run...

Sorry but the Tuscan coupe is a much better looking car than the convertible IMHO so exclusivity or not your wrong

Think you will find that there were only 26 'MK3's' in total & only 10 of them were S models, so a lot rarer than a Sagaris!

[Simon BB]

Blimey, i didn't realise the Mk3 Tusc S targa was that rare! Not that i'm selling but the price has just gone up!

Nice collection you have there Simon with some great track tools

[Simon BB]

Thanks 7 TVR, I love British underdogs! Just added a Triumph Daytona 900 to the fleet as well.....other half's gone crackers!

Intrigued what is a Mk III, only know of Mark I and Mark II

[quattrophenia]

It possibly also comes down to Sag's being produced later. Tusc's are seen as a 1999 designed car where as the Sag is the pinnacle of TVR's evolution in 2005. I know what you mean though, underneath there isn't much in it, but IMHO the Sag does look externally like something out of a science fiction film! Both are awesome cars that will turn heads evertime so it's what ever floats you boat (and what you can afford!).

[D14 AYS]

It's amazing how much better the Sag looks... The closer you come to affording one!!
