Oh, absolutely. For example, many track cars don't have an odometer and are TMU when it comes time to sell. Then you are left wondering if the engine has 100 hours or 500 hours on it.

The other side is you get a track car that is used sparingly as mentioned above AND still has an odometer. A guy owns it for 20 years, puts 20,000 track miles on it, and then throws in an interior and repaints it. If he doesn't disclose that those were track miles you're buying something with a lot of deferred maintenance being passed off as a low mileage survivor.
