“Once again, Lego Technic makes a buggy. A nice one, by the way. Probably the best part is the steering, with a steering wheel just like in the blue 2008 dune buggy. Also, this one has a V4 engine, independent front suspension, and normal suspension in the back. It looks... More beautiful, sleek and rough at the same time.”

“This is a definitely a set for Technic fans. That may sound like a cliche, but some of the smaller Technic sets can easily appeal to just about anybody and at the cheaper prices, you don’t take too much of a hit financially.”

About Technic

TECHNIC is one of The LEGO Company's main lines based on creating detailed model machines and mechanical toys with specialized beams, axles, gears and connectors and primarily designed for older children and adults. The theme was first introduced as the Expert Builder series in 1977, but was officially renamed as TECHNIC in 1984. TECHNIC is still an active theme, and is one of the longest running themes in LEGO history. While most TECHNIC sets are vehicles that use pieces to mimic real vehicles, such as engine pieces, suspension, pneumatic, and transmission pieces, the TECHNIC parts have been used by various other System themes as well as LEGO Mindstorms.
Summary
Technic Buggy set 8048 was released on December 30, 2009, retailing for $40, it has since been retired. New, unopened sets are valued at $101, used ones can be found for $24.
