Good advice - newby with a fast car limits learning, as they spend more time crashing than driving. Practice makes perfect, and good quality practice is spent on the wheels - so be prepared and willing to start with a slower car than most people, you'll soon be improving and beating many (as there are soooooo many who just can't help try to drive car faster than there talent).

2nd hand can be worthwhile, but it all depends. You don't want to inherit problems in a car fixed with bubble gum and metric screws, but there are some bargains - seek advice from someone as most racers will recognise a 'lemon' of a B4.

I personally would buy new especially to begin with, learning starts with the wrenchs and the fun starts at step 1 in the manual. I really love building a kit, the first one I built with my dad took a week but now I can do it in 2-3 hours!!! LOL.
