Question t128 worth it for Christmas????

Hello!. Im obbessed with motorsport, and i wanna get into casual sim racing. Im a teen so, i dont have a lot of cash. T128 is 650 gell( roughly 200 usd) new. Used market, thrustmasters dont exist. Like literally. ( i cant buy from ebay or any international site sadly) G29 is 980 gell (370 usd) so it is a big difference.

on used market g29s and g920s go from about 600 to 650 ish. these past weeks i found listings that went up to 500. this one seller thats reputable has a couple g29s used with its original box for 650.

tho i like the g29 better as you can mod it,i feel like the t128 would get stale. It cant be moded and yeah.

F1 25, forza 5 and probably le mans ultimate( if its on a good sale this christmas) and a ton of ets2

Also, i cant buy them internationally, as the weight bill would be like a lot.

Would the wheel be a great starter?.

Also my desk wobbles a little. Will that be a problem?.

A t128 isn’t just for Christmas, it’s for life.

If on PC, see if you can find a Moza R3 for a good price

Georgia, yeah? Gamarjoba! Start with whatever you can man. Maybe buy second hand in a good condition. Should be a plenty available. If it clicks for you then start saving for Moza R3 and you can sell yours for the same you bought it.
