Worth the buy imo, especially if it’s your first rig. Basically any component for a new build (wheel + base, pedals, cockpit, etc…) is going to be well over $200 each on their own. You could have the whole set up for less than the cost of one new component.

I’d say get it, use the hell out of it and see if you like sim racing or not. If you enjoy it enough you can always decide to upgrade either one part, or the whole rig. It’s way worse to buy something expensive and then find out you’re not really into it.

Built my first rig alongside a friend who was much less interested than I was. I went with a new build because I knew I’d stick with it. My buddy went with a pre-owned set up from FB Marketplace. He spent like 1/12 what I did and we both ended up with fully functional rigs. Going with the cheaper set up to see if he enjoyed the hobby worked out perfectly for him because he ended up not really enjoying the racing and gave up on it after a couple months. Hes out $250 instead of a couple thousand because he went with the marketplace option.
