What to do?

Sell Tamora now for around 30K (3 months old, 2,500 miles!)(at a push) or keep for another year and sell next year when the market "could" be a little more TVR friendly. Am I likely to lose a lot more by keeping it another year.

Someone mentioned they take a huge hit in the first few 0000 miles as people like to buy in at around 6,000+ miles regardless of age as they are more likely to be buying a car that has had all the "niggly bits" fixed. Any advice guys/gals?

If you don't have to sell, keep for at least another year, get to properly know it and enjoy it. At that mileage it's not even properly run in. If cars were women you'd be accused of having a 'fear of commitment'!

I guess the answer to that really depends on why you want to sell now after only 3 months.

If you've found it is not for you - probably best to sell, as you could trade in for something you would enjoy more.

Scared by the depreciation,

You have probably taken the biggest depreciation hit, so another year and a few thousand miles proably won't show much more of a drop. (depending on the individual car itself - popular colour deireable spec, etc)

Have thought long and hard........have asked God for forgivness for even contemplating selling it! Gonna put a cheap run about on the road for a while to run along side it. Plus the girlfriends Clio isn't so bad.

a 7-9K hit in 3 months is far too much for me to take! Love the car to bits so a bit of tightening of purse strings here and there and all shall be alright.

Keep it, topboss - after 2500 miles, the engine isn't even loose, and once it gets going, it'll be worth keeping.

Also, I think it's a bad time to sell a Tamora - the main gamble is whether a T350 convertible is in the pipeline, but that seems very unlikely considering the lead time on the targa, so the Tamora is the only current TVR soft top, and may well accumulate some rarity value. Enjoy the car, rather than worrying about how much money you're losing.
