    would you buy an RS2 or build one

    I have been thinking of buying an RS2 for some time,and I have made my mind up to get one this year, the trouble is finding a good RHD one for the right price is not going to be easy,so I wondered if building one was an op'tion,do's any one have any views on this, or is it best to keep looking.

    RS2 prices have dropped, for the money you can get a stonking LHD one or pay 2-4k extra for an RHD.

    I'd buy an RS2, it's cheaper to insure than a modded S2 to RS2 spec ( ask me how i know that! )

      buy one, it would save you alot of head aches and like jamo said the insurance is gonna be a issue? These been some really good examples on the bay lately.

          Buy one.
          Apart from loads of work if your going to upgrade all the parts yourself.
          it will probably work out cheaper to buy one outright if you were going to upgrade every part to RS2 spec (every part that is different from the S2 avant).....also, if you factor in the time to do the conversion and labour rate (or cost per hour for yourself)...IMHO it would definately be easier to buy a good RS2. As jamo said, prices have come down a fair bit now too.

              buy one, as the previous post say in the long run it will work out cheaper there have been quite a few now going around the 10 grand mark
