cars they just can't sell

[safrane]

So what's the longest time a Maser has remained unsold?

Recall this one being for sale since 2012 at the same garage and price...undesirable I have been told by those who have seen it.

Must be the grey interior, coupled with the exterior. I've seen the green exterior before, looks nice.

I wonder what's wrong with it

The gearbox is the problem

Advert says next MOT due May 2014 but history check says no MOT since May 2013.

the advert may be out of date, but technically correct I supose
grey interior would have been fine with a dark paint job but not a colour this light and if madman is correct that it has a gearbox problem then it is overpriced and not the prettiest...........not a good selling combo.

Hi Greg,
MOT history says last MOT'd 25th May 2012.
Unless MOT'd after that with a different reg number?

I think the comment re the gear box may be tongue in cheek as its a CC.

As I posted its been with them a long time so may just be in the showroom and that may result in no service / maintenance being carried out.

Any one else know of an older advert????

I think one of the guys at the garage actually drives it as a daily.

Really?
It has done 600 miles in last 4 years!!
He must live next door to the garage and chancing no MOT/Tax!

I always look that one up on Autotrader when im on there . It lives there . It is the worst colour combination possible . Its even worse than bronze with turd seats and green carpets lol s

 

[MrCoop]

Agreed, nearly as bad as lilac metallic and grey interior

 

[Needamaser]

Geez, some of you are a hard crowd to please!! lol

There's another 3200 on Autotrader which has been sat around for a while, a metallic red one complete with cobwebs(!) just outside Knowle. I went for a shuftie last year but it looked a little unloved and the £20k price tag put me off.

I suppose it's not that unusual to see certain types of car sitting around at dealers waiting for buyers - back in June 2010 I went down to GC Motors in Kent to view a '69 Mini Cooper which had been there at least eighteen months, at the time they were asking £10k for it, every so often they up the price and re-advertise it, it's still there today at £20k...!

 

[urquattrogus]

Do these people have no concept of stock turn?

Patience is required if you want to sell for a good margin, but just think of the cost of having that money tied up, cash flow implications etc.

Maybe not then. Or the advert hasn't been changed in 4 years.
