Oliver,

Turnkey/used = instant gratification.

Roller = "almost" as instant gratification

Built yourself = satisfaction of the build and knowing the car better, but more time involved.

It's just a matter of YOUR personal priorities at the moment in time you decide to do it.

Most people that build these kits do an acceptable job. Some do an exceptional job. Some do a poor job. It's the same with turnkeys and rollers.

Make sure that you deal with someone that you trust with your life for a roller or turnkey.

If someone is not confident in their abilities to do at least an acceptable job on a build, they better get some knowledgeable help and advice before driving their car at speed. I know several people who built their own cars with lots of advice and help. They did an exceptional job while involving their family in the build, and had a great time.

As a kid, I was a "do it yourselfer". Now I am a "pay someone elser". Simply a matter of deciding that my time is better spent with my family at this point in time to me. When I retire, I will probably go back to being a "do it yourselfer". Everyone has priorities that change over time.

One has to determine one's own abilities and priorities.

Good luck in whatever you you decide.

Cheers!
Dave
