    Default When to Buy Your Next Racecar

    When is it the best time to buy your next racing car for next season? I've noticed that car buyers take a look-see towards the end of the race season, see what is coming up on the market, maybe feel out the marketplace in September and October to see whom is buying what, and for what price, then the smart car buyers buy something in November but definitely before Christmas time.

    With this strategy you jump the gun on the next guy which is probably a little gun-shy in pulling the trigger on his own purchase, so you are then able to acquire your 1st choice option before someone else takes that away from you. If you have 2 or 3 good racecars to choose from, then you have that comfortable luxury of choosing. But don't let someone else buy one of them so you don't have that luxury anymore. Make that decision yourself, don't have it made for you.

    If you wait too long, and wait past the New Year until the mid-winter or even longer thinking that you have all the time in the world to buy your next racing car, this doesn't mean that you will have your 1st or even 2nd choice options on the cars that you want as more likely your 3rd or 4th choice options, (or scraps) will be the only ones leftover and available for you.

    Most of these racecars come onto the marketplace during the autumn time, why not be one of the smart people and buy the clean Cherrypickers before mid-December and let the Dummies pick up all the leftovers during the rest of the winter. This is already starting to happen; movement in the marketplace. If you over-analyze a buying situation to the smallest minute detail and waste too much time, then you are stifling yourself from making a good purchase.

    Bottomline; don't miss the boat on a good car...your car! don't let a good racecar go by, and a good opportunity pass you by as you're sitting on your hands waiting for what?...(you're going to buy a new racecar anyways), or you'll see the primo car that you want go off to someone else, and then you'll be kicking yourself saying...dammit, why didn't I react when I had my chance!??
