Flipping cars

Now that is one that could flip for some coin. 67-72 trucks are worthy of a second look and some diligence. Drop a tree fiddy and trans and write fo sale in shoe polish across the back window.

yep, nothing fancy or too expensive.  Let someone else spend the big bucks on an LS, bags,and such.  It's a good one for flipping, I think

[Forzfed]

That is a decent price!  The rims have to be worth a good buck.  My cousin bought a C10 for his son and had it totally restored.  The C10's have a nice look to them!

That one should be easy to make a few bucks on...I like the stepsides but they are getting harder to find

Looks like a deal

I've flipped cars before.  I only ever made a huge profit on one vehicle.  Basically, buying vehicles and then getting them to a point where I was satisfied with them would give me something to do and learn along the way. Once I was done with them I would sell them.  More of a hobby then a business plan.

Anyone flip stuff on the side?

Ive found a car that I’m seriously considering purchasing and flipping. It’s a clean 99 Mustang (I know). 4.6/5 speed, and the a/c is supposed to work. Now for the fun stuff, it’s got a on3 turbo kit with the base 70mm@7psi (which requires an aftermarket k-member), cams, newer clutch, exhaust, and comes with boxes of parts to turn it up (whatever that means, alky kit maybe?). Basically the owner shipped out to the navy, and his dad just wants it gone. It needs a though detail maybe some wiring cleaned up, and maybe some different oem style wheels.

Pros: it’s the right price and could be a easy payday if everything goes right.
Cons: it’s a ford, it’s a 2 valve 4.6, could be a nightmare.

Any thoughts?

It's OK til some asshole drills the piss out of it and than wants you to buy them a trans or engine. Or they nag you for a couple months about every little rattle or what "their mechanic" says. Telling them "As is" usually goes in one ear and out the other.

As is is just that. Warranty ends when you drive it past the curb.

IN WRITING of course

two secrets to making money on cars.  Pick the right car and spend the absolute minimum on it before selling it.  No one that I know ever consistently did either.

3rd secret, you may not have a conscience

Now you talking about the big dawgs!

Just say- This job carries an Oklahoma warranty. If it busts into two pieces, you own both parts. And if you bust your butt using it, it's still yours. LOL courtesy of [/color]G Atsma on lsitech.com post #16
