Nantucket427,
MrFixit is spot on regarding pricing.
I have been looking for quite a while, and I would say that there are some excellent examples of almost every manufacturer available as a resale. Building a new car is nice and it definitely has the "I got EXACTLY what I wanted" thing going for it, but there is the added expense. The resale market is rather soft and it seems there is very good value out there.
Just my .02
(but worth way less than that)
