Hi H Bear, welcome to the forum. I bought new, just over a year ago, and am really happy with that decision. A huge benefit of buying new is being able to spec the car to you liking, and for you being close enough to the factory you could see and photo it during the build process, and make it a family event.
New(er) cars have galvanised steel chassis, a stainless steel bulkhead aluminium panels and treated wood. All of which are worth having.
Whatever you do, have fun.
