Interesting reply, if I have crunched my numbers properly, the current order for for E20Ds should see off every pre 2001/non DDA Dart in Stagecoach by easter 2015, of course some could be used to directly/indirectly replace B10Ms or older MANs leaving the few W & X reg Darts to be replaced in 2015.
Now if I were Stagecoach, I would ensure that no DDA Darts found there way onto the secondhand market until at least 2016, to ensure potential competitors couldn't acquire DDA vehicles 'on the cheap'.
Stagecoach have history in retaining a large 'reserve fleet', If they have elderly/worn out DDA Darts, I suspect that they would sooner 'put them in reserve' and use them for spare parts.
