You can find and buy a honda civic for $1K from a shop or anyone who came up on a new car and jst tryin to get rid of it, and you can turn around and sell it for more 2x as much to some kid whose getting his first car... same with 240sx. And you gotta know how to talk down the price for more profit.

Exactly. Buy a Jeep 4x4 with a blown motor in august for pennies, swap the motor for a 4.0 from your local junk yard (LKQ here charges $150), and in a month or two (snow) sell it for 3-4k.

Civics, 240s, most sports cars if they are presentable can get their prices jacked up solid. A coworker paid 12k for a '88 Corvette with "only 98k miles" cause it looked mint... he then had to put about 3k into it cause it had not moved from the previous owners garage in 3 years.


A friend also scored a S13 coupe, single cam, blown with Ksports, Work-knock offs and some other nice bits for $1,100 once we paid for the trailer. While he is building for him self, we could have easily parted it out for more then $1,100 or tossed in a spare KA24DE we had laying around and sold it for 3-4k around here.
