I need some suggestion from Pros here.
I'll be ordering my Rubi soon and I'm contemplating should I buy & build or buy it already customized they way I want.
I know I want to have many customization done to it. I'm good with tools at home but not on cars so I'll have to keep in mind cost of labor when deciding.
These are the thing I know I want to have it done:
Should I buy my Rubi and pay to customize it or should I have it custom built?
I know this is such a wide question. When I haven't given any details on the cost of parts I'm replacing v/s custom built cost.
The type of customization that I would like to do is very similar to what tveauto.com does but their prices are little high.
If I buy the Rubi and resell parts I'm replacing, how much should I expect?
I believe the parts that I'll be replacing which I'll be able to resell: Both bumpers, All fenders, Wheels & Tires, Suspensions, Shocks, Stabilizer, Hood, Exhaust. Let me know if I miss anything that I can resell.
This is the formula I'm working on to estimate on savings:
+ Cost Of Rubi
- Resalable Parts
+ All Customization (Parts Only)
-------------------------------------------------------------
= Total Cost Of Rubi If I Get It Done (Before Labor)
+ Cost Of Custom Built With Exact Same Customization
- Total Cost Of Rubi If I Get It Done (Before Labor)
-------------------------------------------------------------
= Savings If I Get It Done (Before Labor)
- Cost Of Labor If I Get It Done
-------------------------------------------------------------
= Final Savings
Any advice?
Thanks
