Why is the market completely dead for our Tuscans?
It’s been a half-decent summer, but the same cars remain for sale month after month (mine included)….and that’s with a 30 percent reduction from initial asking price and two years in the trying.
Completely understand that the general sports car market is much slower due to wider economic circumstances out there, and we all appreciate the niche market we sit in as Tuscan owners.
But, it feels like I am being forced to part-ex the car (if the dealer wants to take on a challenge) as the only way out of a much cherished example.
Would be interested to hear any other similar frustrations out there, or am I way off the mark?

Thanks all for your comments, some good thoughts and ideas shared - much appreciated.
Looks like I’m destined however to do the rounds at various dealers to try and get a half-decent offer as p/ex on something else. Already tried a TVR specialist, who attempted their best to sell it for a significant period, all to no avail.

I know of two Tuscans that have sold very quickly in the last two months, both were in top condition and went for good money. Where is your advert?
Add is on PH. Without breaching PH rules on this type of discussion, it is very keenly priced imo.

Understand what you’re saying SwissToni but I am at 2 years of constant ‘for sale’…….including with the help of a TVR specialist.
I’ve just knocked off another £3k in the hope that it can create a bit of interest and will get her onto C&C as well, per advice earlier.
It’s highly likely that I (and other Tuscan owners trying to sell) face 6 months of b*gger all chances!

Hi. I wont comment on my car again as such (my last post in reply to some comments / questions was pulled down), so will keep it brief.

Some great feedback, thoughts and help & ideas. Will use some of these to get sold. Thank you.
