Hiya and Welcome.
I am somewhat new to this as well but from my experiences so far and advice etc from club members I would recommend getting a second hand buggy.
BUT.... before that, do you want 2 wheel drive - cheaper, more popular and some say more fun to drive - or 4 wheel drive, more expensive but easier to drive and some (like me) prefer the techy aspect of 4WD.
Once you have decided, look at a used top end buggy from here. You should be able to get a really nice used rolling chassis for £100 to £150 quid and often with a spares pack, tyres and misc stuff. I got a Schumacher SX2 with spares, 2 body shells and 2 full sets of wheels and tyres for £100 which would allow you to get a 2.4gig TX/RX for £40, decent brushless ESC/Motor combo for £100 leaving £60 for a couple of sets of Lipo's.
There are quite a few B44.1 chassis for sale with the new B44.2 just released so plenty of great buggies available. The B44.1 would work well as would the Durango DEX410v3, Schumacher SX/SX2/SX3, Kyosho ZX5 FS2.
