These cars are now selling over MSRP. The PCCB is probably the single most desirable option. Why would you think it would be discounted over it's initial cost? The lower the mileage, the smaller the likelihood the car will be tracked, the greater the premium for PCCB and other desirable options.

Not sure everyone would agree with two of your assumptions. PCCBs may be important to you, but they are a turnoff for many. Also, lower mileage doesn't mean anything for certain. It could have been a track only sled where every single mile was logged on track. You really have to judge every car by its condition and known history. Everything else is just guessing.

I am sure not everyone will agree. However please note the original question was "all else being equal", and I stated that low mileage cars are less likely to be tracked (in the future, by current buyers looking for low mileage cars), not that low mileage cars are less likely to have been tracked in the past. And of course, some buyers, primarily those who track, will be less interested in PCCBs just like they will be less interested in ultra low mileage. However, that doesn't change the fact that most buyers would prefer PCCBs and would pay a premium for it.

agree to disagree. i think most buyers either don't have a preference, or demand steels, and fewer demand PCCB. as you approach cars of this age and mileage, PCCB are a quickly approaching $15,000 maintenance item. and if you want things to be full OEM factory as a collector, you won't want to do a steel conversion. personally i wanted PCCB and am okay with the cost to replace them in a factory way, but i know i am in the minority.
Lastly, I don't think people who don't track view PCCBs as a maintenance item. Just the opposite, it's a lifetime rotor for 99% of them. I don't know of a single instance of someone having to replace PCCB rotors from street use. I'll leave it at that so as not to turn this into a PCCB conversation in a "for sale" thread.

I have my PCCB on the shelf and its fine but its slightly annoying to wipe down my calipers and not as predictable of a threshold brake. If I was using this as a daily I would pay more for PCCB...but its mainly cause 1) I'm lazy 2) Rusty rotors arn't pretty 3) I like yellow. The decrease in rotational mass as it relates to torque... I dunno maybe I can tell but its more likely in my head.

my .02, is that we (Rennlisters) are such a small portion of the overall buying public.
