What exactly is the concern? So what if someone takes it to 100mph or faster...isn't that what these cars a built for?
How's that different from buying any used sports car? Do you think the owners baby the cars that have 250 miles on them before they get sold?
I have owned a few sports cars/exotics (as many on this forum likely have). All my cars (most bought with low to no miles) hit the track within a week of purchase, several the day after.
They got flogged at the track and some ran as my daily drivers for over 30,000 miles without incident.
I am not the only one that does this, I was just at the track a few weeks ago and a guy comes in with his brand spanking new 991 GT3RS, he had picked it up the afternoon before. He flogged it in the advanced run group.
When I talked to him about it he did this with all his sports cars.
It seems to me the fear of buying a demo car is unfounded and based on bias and emotion and not on any fact.
Can someone provide an example of where the fact it was a demo car ended up being detrimental to ownership?
Well said!
