I have a 2000 Solo, prep my own engines apart from valve timing and set a new lap record at Bayford yesterday.
A good, older kart can be just as quick in the right hands, but I must stress that quick times come more with practice, experience and testing to set the kart up.
Over the last season I've seen several teams go out and buy new or nearly new 7 Karts and Wrights only to be embarassed by my 8 year old, well sorted chassis.
My advice to you is to get something within your price range, that has been recently raced and has a pedigree, then treat your first two seasons as a learning exercise. Then it will be time to think about upping your budget and getting competitive machinery.
