Worth is all in the eyes of the beholder. Would I spend $30k to build a 20B FC? Hell yeah, probably more if I had to. Would I BUY someone else's work for $30k? Hell no. I might spend $15k, tops.
You have to realize that you never get money back when you put it into a car like that. Having said that, that means that you should be able to buy a car for a lot less than it would cost to build it yourself. However, you have to decide whether you want to trade off cost for taking a chance on someone else's work.
Now, there are exceptions to my first paragraph. For instance, if it was a car like Lupe's that I knew had the utmost attention given to every single little aspect, I wouldn't hesitate dropping $30k+ on it. But for the average car, I would personally want a car as least modified as possible. That way I know everything is done correctly (and with the parts that I want to use).

I'd think someone might be able to get 20K out of a car like that. Its not like 20B powered RX-7's are on every street corner. So a person is left with about 2 options. Doing the conversion themselves or buying one thats complete for slightly more.
