For example there are a number of ultra low mileage 458s and the latest GT3 RSs. These are hard to get a hold of and yet there are always cars on the market straight away with super low mileages, usually under 1,000.

Any guess as to why?

Why wait 2 or even 3 years for a car and then sell it in a month?

Cognitive dissonance maybe?

People trying to sell at a profit a hard to get car

Spivs and speculators, change in circumstances/too expensive to run, maybe they don't like the car, maybe they don't like RWD/engine in the wrong place/get fed up with having no torque/don't like the gearbox

To make money. Simple.

Buy the car, spank the @rse off it for a few weeks, clock up 1000miles, sell at a profit.

But a lot of them are at list or less - so no profit there then.

John - so did you think of selling your GT-R then

Usually because somebody in a diesel 5 series has just burned them away from the lights, and they lose faith

As already mentioned speculation though some are just for show and sit in car parks and turned over now and again. Some are just bought with bonus payments from merchant banking

I did see one where a guy had ordered an SLS and a Ferrari because he couldn't decide between them and when they arrived he kept the one he liked most and sold the other one!!

What a position to be in? How did he sleep at night not knowing which car to buy.

I feel sorry for him. What a dilemma.
