      For those of you considering the shirt, I can verify that it is wildly comfortable and made of stern stuff. Well worth the money!

      I would be extremely into buying one, if maybe the logo wasn't slapped on there so boldly. Maybe on the back?
      Still will probably get one.
      And a second one if you fix it, and ill probably wear it more often.

      The problem with most Mustangs is they made a shit load of them, Lots of them for sale all the time, and the older ones are not financially justified restoring .

    Doug makes some great points here. I generally buy cars I know are a gamble but with some understanding of the risks of big maintenance expenditures. The odds haven't caught up to me too badly yet. He is also definitely right that I enjoy every single one!

    One professor at a local college buys exotics with issues and then has his class work on the car. He did have to call in a favor from a friend who specializes in Porsche engines to fix a type 547 which is one of the hardest engines in the world to work on. The guy who worked on the Porsche engine is a well known engine builder and someone heard about him working on the car and flew three thousand miles just to buy it. The world of buying and selling exotics is insane.

    Buying a cheap car, is usually never cheap. You will always end up with some car that has billion of broken things, it may be extremely small items, but they all add up. i example, broken plastic on vents, broken leather, and so on..

    I recently learned how to do a DME read out on a GT3RS we have at the Porsche dealership I work at. The one we have is a GT3RS with a manual trans with the 3.6L motor and zero stage 1 over revs, with only 5000~ miles. Very nice orange car and they just dumped a bunch of money into it for maintenance.

    I'm 20 years old, I'm opening a motorcycle "dealership" this summer so I can get a dealers and auction license, from there we will be buying crashed bikes and make custom cafe racers out of them, and then we will be buying salvaged title cars to rebuild and make into a rental fleet. This is how I'm entering the automotive industry this summer!

    • @dirtyd9219
      @dirtyd9219 6 років тому +14

      DolphinDivingChamp You might want to check local laws and such. I know the app turo for renting out cars does not allow salvage title cars to be rented. State laws could say the same.

    • @DolphinDivingChamp
      @DolphinDivingChamp 6 років тому +4

      Dirty D The cars would be fixed and inspection to be issued a rebuilt title. I can't imagine there would be issues one it's a rebuilt title. But yes, turo does not allow rebuilt titles.

      Hacker07Gaming If your in the auction world, you'll see so many vehicles sustaining massive damage but have clean titles, and salvaged title cars that are clean as hell. It just sucks that turo doesn't allow rebuilt.

    • @spmil999
      @spmil999 6 років тому

      DolphinDivingChamp one thing I find myself wondering a lot is why are some cars that are only a few years old with good mileage and minimal damage getting salvage titles? I mean, parts wouldn't be near what the car is worth and sometimes work wouldn't even be extensive.

    parting E30's ans selling parts
    and when I left they had a '68
    GT500,a Testarossa between
    Jags and Porshes and M//'s.
    All of it before they were 25.
    Boy did they catched that wave
    of appreciating cars.I left cause
    it hurted me too much after yrs
    of hurting myself with cars.
    I was passionnate,they were
    rationnal,I was weak and trying
    to please everyone,they were
    dealing hard.I was scared.They
    tasted success.I had no place
    to park or work on cars.One of
    the first thing they took care of.
    I learn a lot from them,from the
    cruel reality of money,to the
    inadequacies of my personality
    to gravitate around this world.

    Most models have their own, recurring issues that to most people are big headaches. If you can specialize in a model and learn to fix all the most common issues quickly and easily, theres a lot of money to be made and good deals.
    Example: 2008-2012 dodge grand caravans and chrysler town and countries have an extremely common problem where the rear A/C stops working. most dealers quote 700-1500 to fix so most people trade it in or dump it instead of fixing it.
    We have found that it's almost always the rear expansion valve by the rear passenger tire and we can replace it within about 30 minutes and get it working (rear ac is very important for minivans).
    BOOM a $1500 issue fixed in 30 minutes and we've easily added $500-1000 in value to the van, especially if its otherwise very clean and nice.
    Vehicle forums are the best recourse to find the really common issues and easy fixes.

    In 1999 I won a 1991 Saleen Sc while street racing for pinks in San Diego. I was an import nerd and the car really didn't appeal to me, so I sold it to a friend who needed a car for like $2500.

    If anyone is interested in flipping high-performance cars to resell them, I would suggest starting with the Germans. Buy and sell Porsches, BMWs, or Mercedes, maybe a combination of two or even flipping all three brands. They're fairly common to find, and are in high demand for people that want more than just a Camry or Sonata. They're fantastic gateway cars for flippers as they're quite common, usually not hard to fix/clean up, and are in high demand.

    By far one of the best advises on the subject I've seen recently. Flipping cars isn't the gold mine everybody thinks it is and there is A LOT of misinformation out there. Buying cars as "investments" should never be a option, buy the best example of your dream car and ENJOY it. If you get a full return for it or even a bit of profit in the future, so be it. But it shouldn't be your ultimate goal.
    ... Go buy Bitcoin instead and leave our dream cars alone :D

    How to make money. Buy a few nice cars, get really good insurance, rent them out, and wait while you make the payments in 4 days, get totaled cars replaced for msrp and get loss of use, then buy more and more as you grow. Also give wholesale prices when buying and sell for retail.

    While everything Doug says in this video makes valid points, the one thing missing is what would actually allow you to flip cars, and that is registering them (or not needing to). For private parties, states have limits on how many cars you can register in a year (ranging around 2-6 from what I have seen). It’s terrible to register any car you want to make money on though, because who wants to pay sales tax on $20k, $50k, $100k cars? And if I’m not mistaken, the only way to “get out” of registering a newly purchased vehicle is to work for/with a dealership, or have your dealer’s license. So what would a private party car flipper be capable of doing in order to get around registering cars and the fees associated with doing so? Answer me that, and I’ll start flipping 12 cars a year, as I’m someone who has regularly flipped cars in the past but has been forced to stop due to my state’s limit on amount of vehicles you can register in a year.

    • @imnotawasteoftime
      @imnotawasteoftime 6 років тому

      Leave the title open. Don't register it, nor sign the title as the buyer. Just leave the seller's signature on there, and hope they didn't date it. As of a few years ago, you can fill out a "release form" as a seller. It has the seller and buyer info, as well as the date. If you flip the car without registering it within 30 days, the person YOU sold it to can claim they didn't know it would have back fees, and thus the dmv taking a closer look at you to see if you're flipping cars. *This is in Texas at least by the way* I think you can register as many vehicles as you want, but the # limit pertains to the # of cars you SELL for a profit.

    • @rabbits_used_cars
      @rabbits_used_cars 6 років тому

      Open titles , cars in family members names etc. That law is also not watched very closely. You can technically buy and sell as many cars as you wish if the state is getting a cut. But usually cheaper if this number is above a certain amount to obtain a dealers license.

    • @LP6704Murcielago
      @LP6704Murcielago 6 років тому +1

      Rob Pitts I live in Colorado, and I don’t know how strictly the law stating the number of cars you can register/sell is followed. But I know that if you do exceed the limit, the fines are supposedly pretty aggressive (I’ve heard in excess of $10k). Also, I don’t know if it’s allowed in other states, but at least in Colorado, selling cars with open/skipped titles is definitely illegal because I’ve read up on that in the past as well. Perhaps that’s not the case in other states, or perhaps these workarounds aren’t totally in compliance with the law ;)
      P.S. Rob, thank you for the reply! I’m a huge fan of your videos here on the channel

    • @LP6704Murcielago
      @LP6704Murcielago 6 років тому

      imnotawasteoftime You are correct, I didn’t explain the limit properly. You are allowed to register as many cars as you want, but you’re only allowed to sell a certain number of them from the same address (which is put on the title at time of registering the vehicle). I suppose you could try registering them with family members’ addresses around the state, but I would be concerned that if my driver’s license number continually popped up as I sold cars, they would probably focus on that rather than the address which the car was sold from.
