Why are people selling their cars?
If you look in the member classified's section, you'll notice lots of people selling off parts to return their cars to stock for sale.
So my question is...why do you think a sizable number of people are selling their cars off? |

There are some really nice examples. STX and Track prepped cars, there's one with the full Rocket Bunny treatment. Some really great deals to be had...

I'd say you missed the biggest one - external factors and change of circumstances, e.g. new baby, lost job, moved elsewhere, disapproval from wife etc etc.

If it has the bunny kit, it means the car has been sliced and diced

I just looked at classifies. The hot lava seller I don't know something must be wrong with it to want to sell for that price. All others were mainly MT high mileage in such a short time frame. Which to me means it was used and abused. And it's mostly whiteout frs on sell.

I am guessing the most common issue is people buying a car they cannot afford. This car is going to attract lots of young guys who don't understand finances.
I was one of those once myself many years ago... |

Probably the speed factor everyone complains about. This car just isn't fast enough...pretty sure 90% of us guys still NA feel that way. I personally find that this will be my first true project car. 5, 10, 15 years idk how long it'll last. I just know I want to make mine a lotus quality track machine however long it takes.
