By "better", what do you mean, exactly?

If better = less expensive, then it's a no-brainer: Just do your homework, know what you are buying, and buy a finished car and enjoy it; there are also often many "nearly finished" cars out there for sale as I'm sure you have seen, as well as finished cars that may be a few years old now and in need of freshening/updates and if you are just starting out, this may be a good option for you as well, since you can enjoy the car and make incremental changes / improvements as you go.

In my case, I build cars as a hobby and it's my "therapy" program. I get enjoyment out of "the thrill of the hunt" for cars / parts / knowledge, the work on the car itself, the friendships made along the way, and the ability, when the car is done, when people ask, to say "I did it".

I could just buy a finished car, but for me personally, that's not what it's all about. When they are done, it's almost anti-climactic for me, and I start to scheme up a new project...
