Im currently in the market for a 570s, I've had a play with the autotrader price tracker and found that a couple of cars that have been for sale for over a year (the blue spider is over 2 years).
Has anyone viewed either of the cars in question?
Surely there must come a point where it's best for the dealers to reduce the price further to move them on.
Or are there big underlying issues with the cars?

Cars like that will be on sale or return so it is not as if the dealer has money invested in it. The owner probably has about a dozen other cars all purchased for the intention of money-laundering rather than to actually drive and this is cost-free way to have them in warm storage with the possibility that someone might actually buy at the inflated value.

Not so sure about mention of ML but otherwise this.
Very few dealers if any at this price point and for this car would be using their own money to buy in stock.

Definitely SOR. Smallish independent dealers are often quite happy to have some nice expensive 'stock' sitting long term to make the place look nice, while having zero of their own cash sitting in it.
