sporadic sales


Explanation:
in my eyes, the original says that the cars are so expensive that they sell (1) rarely, and (2) 1 at a time that seems to fit such definition of sporadic as occurring occasionally, singly, or in irregular or random instances.

Example sentence(s):
  • due to their high cost, such cars achieve only sporadic sales
