Well it looks like I will have to sell later this year. I can browse the classifieds for an idea of asking prices so 3 questions really, for those who have been there before...

1) Do you think a factory Tuscan S carries any premium over a standard Tuscan?

2) I will definately advertise here, when I am ready. However, is there anywhere else worth advertising, outside PH? Is it worth trying for an international audience, for example?

And (3), do any of the specialists buy them?

All opinions / ideas/ suggesions welcomed, to help me formulate my plans.

Thanks, Dean

The S should make more money than a standard spec car.

It may be worth speaking to some of the dealer about sale or return if you don't want to hassle of selling yourself.

A specialist will buy them (James Agger does) but based on sales I have seen on ebay only to turn up with a specialist a few weeks later you should expect at least 4k under what the specialist will sell it for. I guess you do get a no hassle sale though and quick cash in your hand but you will pay a premium for that service.

You would be better off sticking it on here first for a sensible price and just using common sense to filter out the time wasters.

My non S took 2 weeks to sell on here. 2 looked at it and they both wanted it. Just be sensible about the price

That's a beaut of a car there - do you really have to sell? frown

I see you are in Surrey - you could do worse than chat to the chaps at Fernhurst about a SoR type arrangement.

Now, if I could just tidy the garage a bit!!!

Just a thought,

I run a used car center for a main Hyundai dealer if you want to work something out on a sale or return basis when you are ready we can do that, idea of it being we try and maximize the money back to you but sell it on your behalf taking a small percentage. We will be doing all the hard bit for you like advertising it, demo drives, negotiations etc.....

We are based in Epsom Downs Surrey if it's of interest feel free to contact me by email, and we can go through how it would work have done it many times for current customers.

I'll swap you a Capri classic, a 1.2ti Sud and a red racing bike (and I'll throw in a 'w anchor' tie).
Dean I thought this was the dream...

Give Ken at Racing Green a call. They want quality Tuscans.

Massive shame. I only just today passed your car and commented to a colleague how sexy it looked!

Great responses, was not expecting that, thanks all!

Yes I would prefer to keep it, but it's a fair bit of capital which would be useful elsewhere, next month or 2 will tell.

Al/mods, in the spirit of the rules yes I plan to stop contributing to this thread if/when the car is advertised, however I hope the original questions are of wider interest to the TVR community. smile

be very carefull if you go for sale or return at a dealer, thats what i did with my cerb and lost the lot. the sad story of dream machines is on here somewhere, basically they went bankrupt and took all my money with them, im off to court tomorrow to deal with it all.
S or R does sound good and does save you the trouble of selling, i think lessons learnt were , dont hand over any paperwork for the car untill its sold, keep it insured whilst its in the garage, and dont trust them ! sorry but im bitter ! good luck

Thanks Dave, yes I looked at a car there before I bought this one, possibly a lucky escape!
