Im thinking about buying a Triumph and was wondering what are the advantages of buying from a specialist.Ive heard it can be cheaper to buy privately?
We would tend to think that this is not always correct in the Triumph market. Firstly Triumphs are usually owned as a pleasure-giving hobby rather than being viewed (as everyday cars are) as a tool to get from A to B, and consequently many owners value their car while wearing their rose-tinted spectacles, and this is reflected in their asking prices. Secondly most owners are not in a desperate hurry to sell, and they are not that bothered if they sell the car this month, next month, or even next year. Consequently they tend to hold out for the best possible price. Indeed we often see the same car being advertised for sale by the same person at an overinflated price several times a year. This is because they don’t especially want to sell the car, unless someone is prepared to pay the overinflated price. By way of contrast, as a business once we have a car ready to sell then we need to do so fairly quickly as it is taking up our valuable workshop space and consequently we price it accord
