I think they aren't selling because there are too many up for sale by people who are out to make money on them, or the novelty factor has worn off. I had mine up for sale for a while because I had another on order. Ended up cancelling my order and keeping my original car because cars weren't shifting.

I'm pretty sure there might still be a couple of unregistered cancelled orders about, or cars with very little mileage. Plenty out there just a case of taking time to find the right one.

I ordered another because I was given the chance to get one of the last few coming off the production line. I wasn't out to make money like a lot of people, or had problems with the first one.
