Best place to sell a Tuscan these days
Discussion
Hi All,
Just wondering about the best way to sell a Tuscan? I won't provide details of my car as this isn't a "classified in disguise" - I'm just wondering on people's views. I've owned it for nearly 15 years so haven't really thought about this.
- Every physical auction I've used has seemed scummy - high pressuring on reserves last minute, car not treated well/warmed up properly in the "yard", etc.). Never again.
- Whilst I love online auctions, they don't seem to get good prices for Tuscans. Maybe it's that people really want to see them in person first?
- Autotrader, in my experience, doesn't deliver brilliantly for niche cars like this. Most of its massive audience wants a 118d.
That pretty much leaves eBay or PH? I assume PH is where the audience is, but there aren't many for sale in here at the moment?
Any insights are gratefully received!

Facebook marketplace - TVR buy and sell groups as well as the 'main bit'.
Irregardless or the quality of your add, you're likely to have negative feedback. Too cheap and the assumption will be it's a wreck. Too much and the assumption is it's an expensive wreck. Pick your price, stick to it and be patient. I know several owners who tried selling their cars for months with no interest or timewasters. Sent them off to some of the dealers who promptly added £5k to the price and they sell in days.
