Car Jockey's do it with late model used cars, classic's and modify'd classic's are a different story. I have a freind that makes a few bucks fixing up cheap 8-10 year used cars and selling them. He's the guy I bought my Malibu from 7-8 years ago, but I bought it and fixed it up myself. The trick is to pick a model that can be repaired cheaply and is popular so it sells fast so you can get your money back fast. Sometimes if his latest repair job dosent sell right away he drives it for a while till it does. With AMC's sometimes it takes forever to sell your car. Look at how long it has taken Eddie to sell the 71 Matador 2 door.
