its a hard choice to make and for some the dollars will dictate what they can afford there are quite a few 50 g cars for sale some are very nice cars and some or pieces of crap despite there owners thinking there worth a lot more . I found a really nice cobra very low ks paint and trim was excellent nice wheels but apon further investigation it turned out it was built on a Toyota crown chassis and not what I wanted .
after looking and enquiring after more cars and been let down once when I thought I had a deal I decided I needed to up the stakes and look further afield I decided to fly up to absoulute pace and the rest is history they say .
I had been down the track like so many on here and had bought a kit and then had to hunt thru wreckers to chase bits up then recon them things like getting doors to hang right was a pain in the arse and many people abandon there projects about 1/2 thru due to the expense and or just lose interest.
I vow and declared I would never buy a kit ever again but after looking and not finding something that suited me it become apparent that one of these lego kits as you call them was the way to go . the advantages' are many no scrounging around for parts / bad panels that are hard to fit and make fit / degreasing and getting drive shafts cut too suit ie jag compare that to almost every thing comes with the kit parts are clean quicker building time more chance of someone nearby building the same kit to help each other .

your other choice is too buy a older car that's been neglected and you can buy at a reasonable price and refurnish it yourself to how you like it its all up too you and what everway you go I hope you end with the car of your dreams .
