Obviously, you may not have one because of the age, but I would include that in the ad as many people travel long distances to buy racecars and may not be familiar with local laws. *This is pretty specific from state to state as some don’t require titles with older cars. So, even if you don’t care: include if you have one or not.

Others like having the option of registering their car… obviously not for daily driver duty, but for the occasional shakedown or cruise night ride. While they aren’t necessary on a car being towed to a race track, some buyers want the peace of mind knowing that a random person can’t show up with a title and claim ownership of their race car. The problem is, there are still many people who much prefer having the title. For some reason, many race car builders throw titles in the trash when they build cars.
Just make sure you have your actual price up near the top of the description. For now, people commonly put “$1,234” or leave a digit off. Some cars do fall within the “accepted range” but many don’t. This is fine for your Cousin’s Nissan Altima, but not for your racecar. Facebook will not allow you to post a vehicle for a price significantly outside what their system expects, yet it still requires you to include a price. *Facebook is currently using a BROKEN system of valuing cars based on the expected Bluebook value. I find myself skimming over an entire car ad to find the price first, then scrolling back up for details. Keeping the price near the top helps people quickly find if a car is candidate for them. These are recreational purchases, so people are usually shopping in a general price range… A boast of a good lap time or meticulous service records aren’t going to make someone spend 3x their planned budget. There are plenty of general and specific track car for sale groups on Facebook.ĭon’t act like some sales mastermind by forcing potential customers to skim over the whole article before finding your price. People in a Spec E30 Facebook group aren’t there to find a Corvette. Don’t spam unrelated groups just because they also exist for cars. Posting in a litany of Facebook groups is a way to get a couple extra eyes on your listing, but won’t help you much if it’s not going to the right market. Not to mention, unfortunately, Craigslist seems to be mostly dead. Your best bet is to post on car-specific pages like enthusiast forums and race car/track-oriented Facebook groups. Autotrader, etc) are focused on regular street cars and won’t be seen by your target market. The standard for-sale sites (Craigslist,. There are many places online to sell a car, but not many are ideal for selling a purpose built race car. If you’re buying a car and looking for a killer deal, disregard, and look for the suckers who can’t get any traction on their junky ads. If you do it right, it may help you sell your car quicker and for more money. If you are going to sell your car, PLEASE for the sake of everyone looking: Read through this list. Many people did not notice the ads, and some people were likely scared off by the sketchy/frustrating lack of responses. The two best deals I got buying cars were both because the sellers had written terrible ads and weren’t very responsive. The car ads that stick around can end up not selling for a bunch of reasons, and it isn’t always a high price. I do have a theory that there are plenty of good car ads being written, but they sell quickly and are gone so fast it doesn’t seem like there are many.

Despite this, the internet is FULL of terrible ads for race cars. Because a race car is so heavily modified from its standardized, factory-delivered condition, a properly detailed for-sale ad is significantly more important than one for a Toyota Camry commuter. Many older, and even some new, cages have some space and egress issues, others are just built wrong from the get-go. This task served as a reminder of how bad so many car ads are.Īs you may have read in my Spec Miata Value Guide: The value of most budget race cars are heavily dependent on the roll cage. I’ve been trying to help a few people find decent deals on cars in their budget. People are joining with fresh big dollar builds, but there is also an influx of other budget-minded folk. My region’s Spec Miata field has been enjoying some great growth lately.
