You are correct, but he wasn't talking about flipping car with little or no investment; he was going to install an LSX engine, etc. Now it becomes a project and the more you get into it the more you'll spend to get the other areas up to the level of what you just did.

There is money to be made buying a car right and then re-selling while just cleaning it up and investing little or no money. Problem is those deals are getting harder and harder to find and you never know when (or if) the next one is coming.

Thanks for the nice words, I appreciate it.
