It might (might) be worth buying the parts seperate and building the car with all new parts. I'm thinking of doing this with a Top Force but buy a few bits a month to make the process last. I bought a knackered Optima for £35 and when I'd finished the only things from the original car are the front and rear bulkheads. I also built an Egress from a Tamiya Vajra and other bits and bobs.
Vintage Cats are becoming expensive too. Knackered Bosscats are getting over £100. I think unless you get a bargain or bid on a badly worded auction title then the market for some cars has gone too high.

Building from parts, not a bad idea at all. I had the same with an Optima im working on now, think i paid £80, and due to a nasty OCD, NOTHING on the car apart from the servo saver is original used, its all from a NIP part, costly habit lol.
