Sale or Return Problem

[Whiplash]

I have had my car on Sale or Return with a very reputable TVR dealer since late April now.
I originally approached them to see if they would consider buying the car from me but they persuaded me to go the S/R option.

I only wanted £9k but they have been advertising it for £15k and recently reduced it to £14k. Apparently they have had a couple of views but one could not get his finances in order and the other had a part exchange that didn’t work out.

Should I take the car out and sell it privately or is it a stagnant market at the moment?

The car is a 4.5ltr with 41k on the clock. It will have a full service history (its latest service will be done just before it sells) it has a new clutch, new rear window, new carpets throughout and a new starter motor. The body work it ok (it has little stone chips on the nose).

Is 9k to much to ask?

Market certainly seems flat at the moment, i've had very low interest in my car and i see not alot of them changing to 'sold' on pistonheads everyweek.
I'll probably, if i was in your shoes, leave it advertised on the S&R system.

Thanks

Just a point of interest, is the dealer's other stock moving ?

They have only sold two TVR's in the last month. One Sag and one Tuscan.

Unless the car is a very late one I would say one of the reasons it is not selling is because it is overpriced. The other reason is that at the moment nothing is selling, especially if it is expensive to run.

If it isn't a late car, either the dealer is being too greedy or they have other stock forcing them to overprice your car. There isn't a downside to them to let it sit, it isn't their money.

I would either get the price dropped or take it away and either give it to another dealer to try, or go it alone.
