Sometimes, it's better to not even talk about numbers until ya get in person as it's typically easier to negotiate than over phone/text. When you're there with cash in hand it makes it far easier for them to let it go even cheaper.
Can definitely appreciate the hustle. Couple of things to keep in mind... 1.) If you're having a shop perform repair work - especially an established business, many many many shops will frown upon or straight up not allow outside parts. They make money on them selling to you. And they also warranty the part as well. If an expensive, difficult job, uses a part you provided, and it fails, guess who's on the hook for the part, as well as the labor for the part again? There's definitely places to save/cut corners - this isn't the place. If the shop is willing to entertain outside parts, make sure you have the rapport with the shop that you'll eat the cost if it's a re-do. 2) Don't forget that sellers have the internet too. And phones to look up stuff. If you have things priced out in mind, yea you're not pressuring them into a sale, but you also want to sleep at night. You never know what the future may hold if they liked dealing with you personally, they may contact you again in the future with their next car to sell- especially if you have the rapport built up. Or if they feel you are a great buyer/reseller of cars, they'll suggest you to their friends. lol @ the oil bath.
I found the part at an auto store nearby, I let them know and they ordered it. So I didn’t bring it to them, also it had a warranty from auto shop. But definitely agree. And yes it’s great to be kind and you can potentially get more business from them, but also as a flipper you have to get a deal to make money. Oil bath!!
@@luckysevenmac cool. They used their account to buy it - sorry I misunderstood from the video how that played out. Definitely- gotta play to make it ahead. Bigger gambles with low buy in can put you ahead.
I subscribed.... and will stay subbed only if you DO NOT put your dang face into the oil again... Also, I once literally told someone I "jacked off the car" rather than "jacked up" I died a little inside.
Nice video, and countinue with your videos they are super detail and very good its very sad that you dont have bigger views becase you deserve better views. Countinou with your work.
What’s up man, love your vids, if I can just say one thing, it’d be great if you included how much you sold it for in reality instead of estimating, you know? Makes it more interesting
Yes it did and still is, a lot of the time they have small leaks which is why it runs out, but most refrigerants in cans help stop leaks and work well as long as it’s a small one.
I understand, next videos will be full flips and will show the sale price. But i can bet it would sell for that as I keep up on the market for these cars. Just wanted this car to put my tools in.
Polishing your car was not free. If you're serious about it, it can be a couple hundred dollars investment for the equipment, and you will definitely use materials like compound and polish in the process. Yes it's a high cost of entry and relatively low cost to keep but it is still there.
Your correct. Compound was likely 5$. Polisher around 200$. But there’s ones for cheaper if cannot afford. Hard to price in tools but will mention it next time :)
@@luckysevenmac I personally spent around $700 original investment for my show car when I got into detailing, but that allowed me to mint out my new 2008 beater for around $40-50 in materials. I did notice later on you mentioned money for materials but it might be worth mentioning initial investment cost compared to payout over x amount of vehicles, especially for different services.
Cool vid man! I’ve been restoring my dad’s 2006 Grand Caravan (160k miles) since it’s going to be my car now. The process has been fun and rewarding. I’ve been thinking about trying this process on other used Chryslers for flipping purposes after finishing up my car, but with a personal project theres always more to do. Seeing your process was both very helpful and entertaining. One question tho. How do you determine if a mechanic or shop will get a job done right and for a fair price? Like what do you talk with them about in person? Price? Process? Anything specific I should remember to do? My dad learned to work with cars out of necessity growing up in rural SE Asia and I’ve been learning from him, but for a car that I’d sell, I’m really not looking to rebuild a tranny ya know 😅(and these minivans love to run through trannys). Anyways, subbed.
That’s cool, there great minivans. Thanks! Normally I do the work myself, but to find a good mechanics shop, look at like 10-20 of them on yelp and pick a few with good reviews. Then figure out the cheapest labor one and go with that one. Trust the reviews is all you really can do. Small jobs, try and do yourself!
You may have been able to get that passenger side fender dent out with a paintless dent pulling kit and mallet, harbor freight has one for $130. I've been using it for a couple days now and the results are very surprising. I would also recommend watching a couple how-to videos
a van like that for 2700 is a steal people ate selling ones like that for 10 grand. also when those vans are in decent condition they do burn outs easily and go up to 120 mph like nothing
There were lots of questionable things said, but the loose jack absolutely couldn't cause a wobble so that's were I checked out. And it's wrong to lie about how much it'll cost to fix stuff just to score a deal. I flip cars honestly despite knowing I could make more by lying.
@@luckysevenmac You say that everything is accurate, yet your next sentence clearly describes your inaccuracy. And you did lie by telling the seller that the repairs would be much more expensive than they were. To sell the car legally you'd have more time and money invested than what you showed.
Ah. Classic mistake when doing an oil change in the driveway. I know a lot of people who made the same mistake. People tend to underestimate how far the oil can shoot out. Even mechanics.
So we have a youtuber in florida named Lucky making flipping car videos, 1 in california, maybe I should change my name to lucky and start making flipping videos in NJ, and encourage someone else to do the same in washington state, so we can cover all 4 corners of the country 😅
How do you go about the title? Do you still sign and register it to yourself and then receive a new title with your name on it to then be able to sell it? Or can you simply use the title from the original seller and not register it to yourself and have the next person you sell it to worry about registering it?
I HIGHLY recommend not doing a 2 step polish on a car you are flipping. A good one step polish and sealant is just about as good and saves TONS of time. 3D makes some great products and makes one of the most popular one step, called Speed Car Polish and Wax. It's not cheap but you can do several cars with one bottle easily. Sonax and Rupes also make great one step polishes.
Yeah, I usually go overboard or don’t do it at all. My old detailing job made me want everything to be perfect. But you’re right as most people don’t care for it.
@@luckysevenmac Ya I saw later in the video where you mentioned your detail experience so I knew then you knew about those. But no way in the world I would be putting the time into a 2 step on a flip. One step is enough work already. I doubt anyone buying a Dodge Caravan would have a clue about the difference.
With these flipping cars video's, some say dont buy cars from marketplace go to copart. Others say marketplace is the best place to buy cars to flip.... I think you just go with what you think you go with what's gone make you money, rather it's copart, or FB marketplace. Listening to these "youtubers" you will forever be stuck second guessing your self.
It’s preference, more competition on marketplace, but you can find some crazy deals. Auction you need knowledge of how they go or you’ll get screwed over, plus normally you get them at a small deal since if it was really cheap it will just get bid up higher. But less people on auctions. I prefer marketplace and better for anyone looking to get started.

Did the AC hold the charge? I think there’s usually a reason they stop working. Would be very lucky if it did over the next few months

Thanks, glad you liked it!
Talking about a theoretical sale price is pretty lame. You kept the car, so you can only speculate on how much it would have sold for.
I understand, next videos will be full flips and will show the sale price. But i can bet it would sell for that as I keep up on the market for these cars. Just wanted this car to put my tools in.
You guys are part of the reason the used market is fucking nuts right now
Definitely is nuts, I can agree to that :/
