      You need to move bec you must live somewhere where the government is wayyyyy to over reaching and controlling. Here in Ohio you can have all the rusty rockers you want. I think we only have 6 counties with emissio standards and unfortunately I live in one of them lol​@@alphatrion100

    When I first started flipping Cars about 10 years ago, I used to try to make them as perfect as possible, which in turn takes away from your profit, but then I found out that buyers don’t care on all the work you put into the car, they are still going to offer you the same price. So if the car is 10 to 15 years old, now I only fix what’s absolutely necessary.
    You could tell the buyer you put new brakes, new tires, full tuneup , expert detail, etc, and it still doesn’t charge their offer. So I said, F this. lol, I’m just gonna give them a very dependable car that looks decent. All they care about is mileage and accidents/clean title.
