Take some time here and read a lot of posts about the different cars. If you ask which kit to get, what you'll find is that BDR owners say buy a BDR, Classic owners say by a Classic, FFR owners say.... on and on. If you're looking for a finished car, you may want to take a long and hard look at the used market. There are lots of great cars out there for a good price. You'll pay much less than what it would cost you to have it built new. What I'd recommend is find out what's most important to you (options, engine size, etc....) and look for a car that will fit your desires. Look all over the country, as shipping isn't that expensive. Likely less than $1000. If you find something you're really interested in, post it here and many people can help. You can find a shop in the area where the car is and have it inspected there. I've done that a few times and it works out well.

As for leasing, I've never heard of one. You'd have to look at what financing runs. I think if you go to collectorcaronline.com there is a link to collector car financing companies. I'd bet the rate is in the 8% or higher range.
