Default Track cars for sale ,, what a joke

I am looking all the time for cars to buy and see more and more cars listed as " track car for sale "

what buggs me is there a totaly std car with the trim removed and a shit cheap set of bucket seats fitted and they ask more ( shit loads more ) than a std car is

example , I have just seen a pug 205 gti for sale , std car with no interior but 2 nasty buckets for £2500 , and next page has a better looking car with all trim and advertised not as a track car for £1200

why do people think its worth twice as much with no interior

Because it's modified and faster Paul.
It always amazes me what some people think they're rough old motors are worth.

Totally agree with your comment paul.. I know its alittle off subject but still relates back to car adverts, it really annoies me when people advertise a car as "totally standard" then you read the advert and its got an exhaust and dump valve on it :@

the worst is when they list it as a 'road legal' track car to make it sound even more serious and special

Don't Ferrari charge more to have the interior removed?? Maybe its the way forward

My pet hates are "The cars mint" and a few lines down it says "But needs this work" or "Rust on ******"
"If it has the work done it will go straight through an MOT" How would you know?
"Very cheap and easy to fix" well fix it and advertise the car at a higher price

Its either normally rovers or peugeots on ebay that get my goat, they have no mot , no tax . Always described as a competative track car, it normally mean can't pass an mot as its fucked.

I have a track car, fully caged, R888's poly bushes etc I will probably be selling it soon but i bet It wont make £2500.00 like all the others cars are valued at
