New purchases or people looking to track well, then it is likely worth it. But I would still buy a used one for dirt cheap and build the track machine I want, it’s more fun.

Think about it, if old boxters go for 10k, these cars in a few years will be under 10k for sure. Pending what’s needed for a weekend track car it could be a deal.
Having the time and proclivity to turn your own wrenches definitely opens up opportunities for higher value per buck, and DIY accomplishment. Never been easier for those who want to work on their own machines, but lack experience and a personal mentor, to get some tools/guidance and get to work...
