So, what do you think it costs to build a one of a kind buggy/bouncer?

[QUOTE="Craig_c, post: 480776, member: 9343"] I would never pay the money they are asking for someone's hand me down. I bought an Ultra4 buggy and haven't had it a year and I'm building a new chassis. I knew I didn't like the chassis, but the parts bolted on to it made it worth it to me. However, let's say I got 100k to spend on a buggy, and I want a used one. I want one that's proven. One that's had the bugs worked out. If the chassis has been "patched", big deal. It's just steel. I doubt anything else on one of these units has been "patched" or rigged. Then comes the facts of what those buggys have shown they can do. I'm not close to the same level of driver of any of those guys. And not knocking the buggy, but Ultra Bouncer never impressed me. It's got huge power, very expensive parts, but from what I have seen it didn't perform. Screaming Blue however is proven. I'm sure it's been patched many times. Id doubt they are redneck hack jobs. I would doubt there were ever any corners cut in repairs of it. So in that aspect, Screaming Blue is worth more to me than Ultra Bouncer, regardless of the cost of parts they both have in them to build them. Comparing buying bouncers to cars is like comparing a Peterbuilt to a moped. I'm a go fast guy. Erik Miller, Shannon Campbell and Bill Bairds cars have all been crashed and repaired and revved and raced, but it just forces them to fix the weak links and make the unit better. We all seen what happens when an untested rig goes out west to race. [/QUOTE]
