Man, I sold a 04 Civic last month that I had for about a month. It was the same color as yours and had faded paint on the roof, trunk and hood. Because it was a manual car I had a hard time selling it. Now days people do not know how to drive manual vehicles. Great job on the car, Boss.
Wow! I just subscribed after watching a few of your Car flipping videos (VW, Kia, Jeep and this one). I'm inspired by the fact that you do this for fun and also earn some profit while doing so. Keep doing what you doing man. Waiting for your next videos. Best wishes for the future.😊👍 - Kalpesh
I use ACV and it seems like the cars need more than they report. For some reason the last 4 cars I've gotten from ACV needed front wheel bearings, front axles, brakes and plugs. Since ACV do not drive the vehicles they are not able to give you a full detail. I think the former owners of these cars run the hell out of them and just trade them in. Pick up a Nissan Sentra that reported it had check engine light on and that was it. I pick up the car and notice while driving it home that it needed wheel bearings, brake pedal went all the way to the floor and the dam exhaust was vibrating badly. Man I was pissed but it's part of used car business lol.
@@cubedmack I haven’t had to much luck with Acv as well. I think back lot cars does a better job telling you Whats actually wrong with the car. There has always been way more surprises with Acv. I feel you!
now imagine had you snagged a Civic Si.. in manual.. and did the quick paint repair.. probably would have doubled your profits.. wont lie i do this on the side for income spot repairs..
The used car market and prices is a complete mess now. This was a great video and you made a profit because you have the means to repair the car yourself. Any other person would have paid $1000 to do those repairs.
Yea for sure things are crazy! But i would say when flipping cars make sure you figure out what you are strong at. Then buy the cars accordingly. Some people are mechanically inclined. I can paint so I would try to find cars that need minor bodywork. Get good at one or the other then you can save big.
@@flippingcarsforfun yes there’s so many different levels of cars you can buy. I prefer vehicles that need repairs but have a solid engine and transmission. These days you have to be smart to avoid competition from other dealers who also want to buy the cheap cars to resell.
I wouldve either taken a smaller non-refundable deposit or kept part of his 2k as a nusiance fee. He didnt do his due diligence. That shouldn't be your problem.
@@flippingcarsforfun I flip bicycles. I take non-refundable deposits all the time. If someone gives you money, it's a contract. Like obviously I'd be reasonable with the kid. I wouldn't have kept 2k of his money. Probably 200 would've sufficed. It's a learning lesson and he should learn his lesson for next time.
So what’s the point of the guy giving you a deposit if he can just change his mind? Not being a smart ass just curious… shouldn’t part of that be non refundable since you’re not entertaining other buyers while the deal is “pending”? Nice flip!

Yea these cars seem to have the paint problem for some reason. Appreciate you for watching man!
@@Eye-it-azz Good for you, Champ.
@@flippingcarsforfun Most of these early year 8th gen civic had a very light/bad clear coat from the factory.
@@Ablir It’s crazy seems like all of them. It can really hurt the sale unfortunately
Honda civics and Toyota corollas are bread and butter, everyone wants those cars.

A Si would have been very profitable for sure! Thanks for watching!
How do you drive the car home save without register man. Just take a risk?
I’m a dealer I have a dealer plate. Thanks for watching! You should rent a tow dolly.
@@flippingcarsforfun 👍
I need to learn to drive stick shift
It’s not so bad. You can do it for sure
Bro everyday at night am here watching this am 19 trying to starting doing this
Nice! Good luck man. Keep it going. Thanks for watching
19 too obviously it’s a calling bro so let’s get to work
This looks 👍!
Thanks Julio
*The insurance was most likely too high due to the guys driving record - insuring those Civics is cheap.*
I can definitely see that. Thanks for watching!

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
So basically don’t remove the car listing until the car has sold in its entirety.
Yea man that’s would be best. People are confused sometimes. Once that title is signed you good. You can mark it as pending.
A least u sold the car, but deposits sometimes don't work.
Definitely! Thanks for watching
Where in nys are you from?
Bronx now I’m westchester
@@flippingcarsforfun oh dope I grew up in Rochester, now Florida and you’re making me wanna get into flipping for fun as well
@@olegandrushchenko1082 nice! Yea man as you should there is definitely enough cars to go around brother. Thanks for watching!
I saw the thumbnail and was like oh that’s Jay from ezblade, didn’t know you do these videos also. Dope
@@byronb3041 yoo thanks for watching. I been flipping cars for fun for almost a year now.

Smart! definitely will consider that next time. Tanks for watching!

Most people do not want a manual transmission
Definitely a unique sale. But most young civic drivers like stick shift. Any other car brands I’m not sure. Thanks for watching Wayne.

Your right! Definitely learned my lesson since then. Yes a portion of the deposit should be non refundable.
Thanks for watching a video will be dropping tonight thanks
