Why so many for sale?

Currently 43 for sale. Sure there was a lot less this time last year.

Of those 43, 5 are down as sold.
I guess with weather like this its a good time to advertise for sale.
I also think that some of the prices seem a bit too high so not selling. Now I would love to think mine was worth more than it is although it has risen in value since I bought it two and a half years ago. Perhaps i'm wrong but surely a lot of the prices advertised are a bit top endish

The sunshine also brings out the dealers, tyre-kickers and scammers. So if you are thinking of selling, monitor responses very carefully and be prepared to pull your ad and wait a while for a genuine buyer.

No way am I selling. These cars are beautiful, powerful and dare I say it has been reliable. Why does anyone want to sell?

Simply circumstances for me. Not getting the time to enjoy it between work and family commitments as much as I would like, I am a firm believer in these things need to be used so would rather let someone else enjoy it vs sitting in the garage.

I deliberated for year or so before making up my mind. My answer was buying a more performance orientated daily driver which will soften the blow when the Tuscan sells.

Similar here - and it has been the case for the last few years if I am honest, but I just don't get around to it. I look at alternatives and then get put off by the hassle of offloading the Tuscan first as the few exploratory chats I've had with dealers selling something I fancy has usually ended with them not being interested in part-ex.

I really should get around to the painful experience of selling privately!
