Flipping Cars/Trucks Advice

There is an older fella that I help out, he goes to the salvage auctions and buys tbirds, explorers, and such for $300-$600 wrecked. We will take 2 wrecks, make one, sell it for about $2500, parts out the other one and make another $1000, then scrap the body for another $300. We can do about 1 'new' car in 2 weeks. He is retired and I work full time doing something else so thats why it takes so long. We usually sub out the paint to a SCHP that also sells used cars, but he uses our dealer # so he gives us a good deal on the paint jobs and the guy that owns the scrapyard where we take the scrap to also sells cars through our dealer #. Right now we are at about 50 cars a year sold, which qualifies us for 4 dealer plates.

A lot of $$ can be made, just dont expect it to happen over night.

I use to build 2 Savage saturns a week when my shop was in full production. WE built only saturns, and the last year we did this we built 120 of them and that was 2 guys and one guy help ing on body work. I did all of the painting rented a booth from a shop on the weekends

We were very customer oriented we never had even one unhappy customer.

but one thing you need to be carefull of is make sure you are doing everthing the correct way DMV wants it done. if you do not they will Shut you down.

this can also get out of control real fast and consume all of your time. that is why I do not do this for a living anymore just for fun and a few extra $$
