Buyers Market

[blackpoolrocket]

Is it me or is there an awful lot of TVR's suddenly on the market especially cerbs?

This is summer after all the best time to buy a TVR.

Is the credit crunch, housing market, fuel prices and new road tax having an effect on your average TVR owner, forcing sales?

[Old Geezer]

Your probably correct.

Filled up both my cars last week! £130!
One is now empty, but the Cerb is ready for the run to Le Mans.

A youngster at work wants a Fiat Panda!! FCSake!
Poor lads been brain washed by loony eco warriors!
When I was his age I wanted something with GT on the back!

59 Cerbs in the PH classifieds at the moment.

It's been there or thereabouts since I joined PH.

[Far Eastender]

Was down to 30 or so in the winter and around 70 or so when I was looking in 2006.

I think this is only just the beginning. With real inflation running at about 4 times what the government will admit to and people starting to loose their jobs it will get a lot worse before it gets better IMO.

I doubt it, their less money to buy that a 1 year old Ford Focus...

It may be the running cost, especially if their used every day

I just need the garage space, and I won't leave it sat on the driveway whilst I'm in the States so it needs to find a new home.

I'll be back in 12 months for another

If its a bargain you're after, try this one

Ive even got it on Ebay with no reserve so someone could end up with a bargain, a sorted Cerb and a few grand in the bank to bring it up to mint condition

Hi Steve, thanks for your link. I'm actually watching it on Ebay - just very unsure of the colour. If you have any better shots of the interior I'd appreciate them. Send me a list of the bad bits with photo's and we can go from there. You're not even that far away too - as I'm only in St.Helens

I think you'll find more than 59 for sale currently and as I’ve been looking for a cerb for the past few months (not an invitation to post adverts) I can confirm the amount being sold is unusually high, especially as its summer.
Selling a cerb in spring/summer is like selling your cricket bat in July, it’s just not done.

So conclusion a very distressed market as estate agents would say and that means prices going down for the poor old seller.

Isn't it the other way around ?

The time to sell a sports car/Convertible is in the summer.
