If you aren't intent on racing then there is nothing wrong with the OFNA Ultra Comp 2. I had it shipped to my door for $263 from tower with tax, all I needed was fuel and batteries. I STILL like my Ultra comp2. The motor is slow though, even with a JP3 pipe it wasn't very fast, barely cleared the tripple at LH even when I had a good line through the berm. The Ultra comp 2 is technically not legal to race because it has a .26 motor, though I don't think you'd have a problem with people letting your race it as the motor is slow as hell and you'd never touch anyone in the straights.
I'm not a racer, so even though I have a Jammin' X1 FTE buggy its only because I picked it up as a roller for $177, and then picked up a OS 30vg for another $170. Add electronics, servos and tires I had laying around and wala, cheap ultra fast buggy. Tons of power. One guy at the local bash has a Himoto Torpeda, don't know about the buggy itself, but the motor was pretty decent for a factory mill. Pretty damned fast.
I say ebay is your best bet. You can pick up some insane deals on a used competition level buggy, or you can peice stuff together cheap too.
