Making/loosing money on cars

[provked]

im now 30 and have owned approx 18 cars, im a panel beater, and always have the ear out looking for cars for the right money, i have made money on all except 4or 5, and i include everything i spend on cars, usually they are a lil rough or in the right place at the right time, . i have done 4 right of vehicles and will prob not do another ( for money making anyway) its too hard these days, and the profit is too litle for the work involveed.

my latest was a ba manual ute, bought for $3200, and needed a front bar, i cut and polished it, put front wheel bearings in and a window reg and BA XR wheels, put it on ebay a week later and sold for 6200, now it owed me about 3800, not a bad proffit but rare to do it that easy. i was lucky the dude was going over seas and i had the cash at home, so i had the money to him in 15 minutes, he couldnt pass it up.
