Believe me, I love a good debate (fight) as much as the next guy. I agree with xlr8or. There seems to be more to this line of posting than is being said. I don't care about that, not even a little. I would still like to continue the build or buy topic.

As Roushac said, it really does depend on the builder. There is no right or wrong just a different intent. A lot of times when I have completed the build, I sell it because to me the real fun is over. So I think we can all agree "different strokes for different folks". That brings me a point that I want to be clear about. I have made good money in this hobby selling cars that I have built. They have brought more and they have bought less than the turnkey minus cars. I depends on the build. I will say without a doubt, if given equal budgets, I will get more for a car that I build vs a turnkey minus. To that end, if I build an RCR and spend $75000 on it, it will bring more than an SPF, CAV or RR40's car on which I have spent an equal amount. If I spend $80,000 on a SPF or CAV and $70,000 on an RCR, There will likely be $10,000 difference in finished price.
