Is buying a tracked car for a daily a bad idea?

Wrong. It is relevant for comparing the retaining value of an aging car, a normally depreciating asset. A GT3 that costs less than a TT in every generation will retain most of its MSRP value over time, with roughly the same mileage and condition. A TT may be garaged since leaving the showroom and it’ll still lose half its value easily simply because of much higher production numbers than the GT cars. The RS cars were never meant to be driven because of their rarity. Not so with the TT.
This was the question:
Which 996 is going up in value?
My response was limited to the question he asked. What matters is the change in value after you have bought it. All the depreciation that occurred before that time is on someone else's nickel. IMO.

And by tracked car, do you mean a car with tracks like tanks have? It’s the only image google showed me in response to the “tracked car” request.
Honestly, I don’t think that it’s going to be easy to use such a car in a city or town environment. It’s more relevant if you live somewhere in a forest, but still, it seems to be a bit excessive. You can get a tractor for such purposes and still own one of the nice japanese import cars for sale. They are cheap, and you won’t have to spend too much money on them. Just buy such a car and a tracked tractor, and you’ll be fine.
