I need to sell my car end of summer coz i'm leaving the country, but i can't resist to register for the track and auto-x events. Would the value of the car drop a lot after being raced? i'm a novice, and it's not like i'm beating the hell out of it. opinion?

 

Your Type R was born to be raced. Your value should depreciate if you don't race it!

 

Anyone seriously looking for a used ITR should assume it has been ratbagged. I mean broken in properly.

 

hey nimbus, you're in boston? do you join any club for any road events?
i need a ride in that nsx you have

 

I'll agree with this. I knew it advance the R I bought used had been tracked on more then one occasion, didn't deter me from purchasing it - as I planned to do the same anyway. *shrugs*

 

It's not whether the car was raced that affects the price of the car.

But, rather, price is reflected on how it was maintained with or without racing. It's all about taking time to maintain the car to run properly. Just look at some of the 100k mi+ ITR's on the board... raced, but running stronger than ever w/ proper maintenance.

 

Agreed.
My car has 35K miles with many many track events. All fluids are always kept clean and no overrevving or mis-shifting. It went on the dyno couple months ago and pulled some above average numbers.

 

I'd much rather buy one that was track'd and kept in well maintenance, as most track frequenters are in the habit of doing.

 

most track ****** are **** about the maint of there cars. looks on the other hand...

 

I frequent both road racing and autocross - BMWCCA, COM, EMRA, SCDA, etc.

You're welcome to come join us for the New England S2000 club events or NSXCA events if you like.

 

If that's depreciation... what is this?

 

thats a trashcan on wheels

 

I thought it was a stinky toilet?

 

more like a trash can id say..

 

I agree. I bought mine with ~58,000 hard driven miles. I know the previous owners maintained the car very well, so I wasn't worried at all about the purchase. After putting on the dyno, I was pleased to see that it is still putting out very good numbers

 

I don't want to install a cage b/c it may hurt (?) my ability to resell it when that time comes.

Will
-who wants to weld chit...

 

y0 will.. you can weld one into my teg. im debating whether or not to get one. id like to. but the fact that i daily drive it has potential to be stolen.

i need good price on a good cage. hmm maybe 6 pt.

 

As long as you take care of it the price should be strong. It is very rare to find a type r driven by some old nanny that just liked the color yellow. Even more rare to not be hitting vtec at some point or another

 

If you are looking for an ITR with the above traits, PM B2FiNiTY.

He treats his ITR in the above fashion.

 

Haha. OWNED!

 

Willard, weld ****!

 

Hey, Nimbus. Is there a webpage for the S2000 club events? Just curious. What tracks do you frequent? I would assume LRP and NHIS but ya' never know. Check out the DFH forum. Lot's o' Eastern Massholes in there!!

lol, it's so true isn't it?!

 

Just race her and then return her to all stock condition The buyer will NEVER know! lol.

As for me, I plan on keeping my car forever so it's not a factor to me.

 

I hope you aren't serious!
