@Kevin Tallant I've the same issues with my mk5 red one up for sale at the minute, only tyre kickers playing with their computer keyboards these days.!! No dog and bone customers that have balls and a matching wallet.!
Think everything is struggling at moment, got a customer who works in car sales at HR Owen and she said never seen it so dead. Even the big hitters sitting on money, apparently even skipping services on there supercars at moment.
Yes 100% very disturbing times at the minute, perhaps when the sun really shines we might get a sale or two....fingers crossed.
To be honest, I think it is a UK problem. My dad is selling his porsche 911 (996) 4s in France soon. He is looking around €42K for it (Tiptronic / about 70k miles / IMS done, borescope and refreshed gearbox recently). In the UK he would be looking at £25-£28K (€30k-32k). When I look at bikes, it is about the same - UK market is easily 20-30% below the Continent. I remember a time when it was quite the opposite, and the UK was paying over the odds for the same goods.
There's a 911/996 turbo with under 90k and decent history going for sub £30k locally to me. If I had deeper pockets/more understanding wife I'd buy it
exactly what I said. And a Turbo is the metzger engine - a lot less problems. But rather thirsty. And on those cars post 2005 (997 then) you are looking at £700 road tax a year. None in France. in the meantime, I have seen a (very clean) 996R pop up for sale on FB at €45k. Last one on Collecting Cars in the UK did not make £20K….
There's a ducati 900sl page on Facebook (actually bought it from there 2016). Sold within 24hrs of going on there, really not sure why I did advertise on there to start with!
