Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Effect of track time on valuation

[Douglas Anderson (dnt]

Tracked?

Nope . . . . Tested it’s “tested”

 

Or as we’d say at the shop - - where the boss? 

He’s out on a ‘road toast.’

Yep

No one wants to buy a car that’s been tracked

Hans reminds us that not all track time is equal.

Definitely depends on the car, setup and laptimes the driver typically ran.

Slow times in an Elise on street tires could mean very little wear and tear.

A fast driver in a really heavy car like a Nissan GTR could mean a full mechanical restoration.

Matt, you would have to evaluate the car that has been tracked to determine if the value is justified.

 

Orig bodywork and paint?

 

What about the state of the engine?

 

Compression and leak down tests would be a must.

 

Lots of factors but the tracked car could be really good if maintained and repaired properly.

All,

 

Does anyone have a professional opinion/knowledge on the effect on valuation of significant track time on well-maintained exotic cars? For example, if you had two very well-maintained cars of the same make/model/mileage/options, both were track prepped (but street-legal), but one had been on the track a lot but the other had seen no track time.

 

Asking for a friend (really, that's a true statement, I'm asking for a friend). :)
