Handling Package Resale

[Mach U]

Down the road do think the handling package will help or hurt resale?
One opinion I’m guessing is that it will hurt as being tracked certainly ages the Mach. Conversely there are guys like me who won’t race, but buy the package because it looks more aggressive. Great for the new owner.

The handling package on its own will prob bump up resale a little. If a car has been tracked hard it won’t be worth as much regardless of how it’s been optioned. But more importantly, I wouldn’t buy this car with resale in mind. Enjoy the hell out of it and worry about resale when it’s time to sell.

OP, the way the market is now the Mach 1 with or without handling pack should keep its value. Like any track car, if you take care of it: retain the stock parts and make quality upgrades then another driver/racer can still get some life out of it.

I also imagine there will be some, you and myself included, that will by/order the handling package just to check the option box and get those unique Ford rims..lol. Those people may never take a hot lap or even run a pass at the strip.

Bottom line any car will depreciate but many factors come into play. The overall financial market, availability of model and condition are just a few.

It's a gamble. Take care of the car and it will retain more of it's value than if you drive it like you stole it. On the other hand, some unforeseen event may make a lot of cars lose or gain their value.
I sure would like to have hung on to my 70 Dodge Challenger.

Buy the car you want for you, not the car you hope some next owner wants to buy from you.

If you like the way it looks, or the way it drives enough to justify the price, by all means buy it and don't look back.
