ok so when i started on this site i was on almost everyday. i had a crazy few weeks between work and cars. heres my little story

i started with a 1998 civic dx that i bought for $800 bucks SWEET deal it was worth more


I sold that for $1500 a few weeks later, sweet deal but now i need another car, i found a pos GsT from this old guy who didnt know what he had, got it for $1000 all it needed was to have the timing fixed he was 2 pucks off on top and 10 degrees off tdc, fixed that replaced the belt and BAM ran great!


i put it up on craigslist the next day and got a response from this guy in miami wanting to trade for a sweet *** camaro. the guy just wanted an import (he was better off selling and buying mine but o well great for me!)

easily worth $3500
i sold it for $4000!!!!! WTF sweet deal considering i started with an $800 car.

i took the money and paid off most all of my debt, left my self $1000 to buy another little car to get around and i got this for $1100

lots and lots of paint faid no dents, like 2 or 3 door dings thats it but to my supprise this guy too had no idea what he had, its a 94 del sol si, 150k miles it came with a whole list of stuff done to it for maintance over the last 10 years he owned it, i mean he had EVERY receipt. i took it for a test drive thinking to my self; lets not get too excited.
so now thats my new project, i cant wait i may keep it for a while it runs GREAT!

 

Nice little used car bsusiness you've got going lol.

 

welcome to my everyday life lol, ive lost count on how many vehicles i have had this year lol

 

nice bro! what was wrong with that first honda why so cheap?

 

you can find them cheap, just have to look. i paid 800 for my 97 4dr. ive put over 6,000 miles on it and havent had any problems so far

 

i got the first one from a lady that was moving to new york, she wanted to sell it because the heat didnt work or the a/c thats y it was cheap. it had a smash in the front and back, i fixed the front and the a/c and sold it, i should have fixed the rest i probably could have sold it for more but at the time it was what i needed to do, i had no intention of "flipping" it

 

Be conscious that some states have a maximum annual car sales thing before they start requiring that you get a dealers license.

 

as long as you dont register them in your name, just keep the title open when you buy the vehicle your fine

 

Not always possible.

 

There's always a catch in life isn't there.

Great going on the buys/trades/sales man. My father in law does the same thing with old cars.

If you enjoy working on cars, turn it into a part time then full time business.
