the problem is that people spend 30k on a car and think they should have a valuation at that

we all know this cant and never will happen

You can only value ANY car at what the market dictates and if you chose to spend thousands on your car to compete in concourse then you have to be willing to spend more on your car than it will ever be worth

Its a FACT that std cars have and always will fetch far more than modded cars

I sold my modded rs500 that i have spent over 40k on for 28k and then paid 33k for a std rs500 in worse condition , but the std 500 will always be worth far more than my modded one was

People are always happy when they get a good valuation but slag the club and registrars off when they get less than they want

If people chose to throw thousands at cars that simply never reach those figures in the open market then thats there choice , There is no way they can blame a registrar for they way they chose to blow there money

One day Saffs will see there day and values will rise and then they will see there valuations rise , but sadly at this time saffs dont fetch 3 door money so if your daft enough to throw tens of thousands at a saff then you do it , but you cant expect the RSOC give you an unrealistic valuation that the car will never achieve in the open market

Look at Rods car , i bet he has far more that 35k in his car but he knws he can expect any insurer to pay him back for all his development work

Sorry if the truth hurts some folk but thats how it is
