1. Never buy a dealer car 2. Pay attention to the Paperwork, make sure it can be registered. 3. Don't buy cars sight unseen. 4. Don't underestimate the cost of repairs 5. Don't go over budget or get in a bidding wars, other cars will become available. Thanks for your tips I am going to start rebuilding cars soon.

J Smith Depending on your state, some insurance companies refuse to insure salvage title vehicles. You could title wash the car if you knew someone in another state, however that’s a process.

Remember to include tax, title, and registration fees. It can be another $200 to $300. You should also include an estimate of the number of hours it takes to repair. You should pay yourself at least $20 an hour. This includes the time it takes to pick up the car and clean it up.

Almost10 years later, its still going strong.

What he is saying is nothing but the truth. Stay away from auction cars. I bought a car that was advertised as "run and drive", "minor front end damage" for $7K after fees and shit. I got the car with all the airbags blown. lol, Front is severely damaged, they just fixed the front to cover the big accident the car had. They never mentioned anything about the airbags. After three months of trying to fix it and loosing more than $5k in renting a car to move around, I noticed the car is leaking oil and mechanic found out a big ass crack under the engine and needed to replace the engine with about $3k. lol Plus other problems I noticed, like the radio not working, the side power window not working, the shocks shaking and wheels off center. Man I could have bought a good fairly used car with all the money I wasted! I don't regret it. It is an unforgettable life lesson that I will never let any of my lineage make.

It's all gravy if one lives close to a lot to freely view them-shop around but the problem is for most of us this is not the case. I used to have a huge lot super close to me and it was ez mode then but co-part bought them out and then moved out of the area 😒🤣 It was fun while it lasted I guess because I'm unwilling to buy them sight unseen and not willing to travel many hours now just to check one out... let alone pay for shipping etc.
