Of course, you need capital.

You can make quite a bit in a very short amount of time, but you're entirely beholden to what's available in your area. Some times you'll see five cars in a week that you could each clear a bunch on, and then not see anything seriously mispriced for a month.
the problem with this is most people today think their car is gold and price it as such. ive found only a few good deals in the last 2 years and im a car dealer
