Turning Junkers into Jackpots: How you can flip cars too!

I'm spilling the beans on how I pocketed a cool $20k flipping just 4 cars – and guess what? I'm sharing all the tips, tricks, and inside this video that turned my garage into a cash-making machine. 🛠️💰

In this car-flipping guide, I'll decode the best deals, help you avoid pitfalls, and encourage you to do it for yourself also! Don't forget to drop your comments.

Check out some of the parts I use on my builds:

I have done this over the last 10 years, and it has paid for all the tools I need to do the cars I will keep later. I buy accident-damaged cars (minor damage). Over that time, I have averaged doubling my money. It is risky and have been burnt on one or two. It's a good feeling to bring something back to excellent condition instead of being scrapped.

I love seeing stuff like this where everyone benefits. The seller makes profit money and the buyer gets a good car and the environment benefits by keeping a car on the road rather than junking it for a new one. Win win all the way.

I was doing this with dirt bikes for a while. Most people wouldn't even wash then when posting photos. I'd get them. Give them a massive clean. Maybe a new sticker kit then sell them off.

My brother and i have flipped so many cars.Our best flip was turning a 1967 XR Fairmont into a Tribute GT .We paid $20, 000 for the car, spent $5000 on the car to make it GT Tribute.So all up spend was $25, 000.Sold the car for a whopping $60, 000.Now thats a profit.. $$$$

I can't get over that XF. What a transformation! I'm surprised you didn't get some carpet to cover over the parcel shelf, because that's the one thing that I can see that lets it down, but nonetheless.

i picked up a series 2 BA falcon with 130.000kms on it for 800 but, had a gear box issue with the btr, i had 3 spare, threw it and ran like a dream cut and polish, sold it for 7k

Well done and credit to you for saving those cars and making some coin. Another fun thing is you get to share this with your family, the fun experiences etc and also get to temporarily "enjoy" the cars, without having to own them long-term. Win-win.

Great video, and nice to have a flipping video dedicated to the Aussie market as well. I have made 10 flips over the last few years, mostly Japanese cars, using similar techniques, although more recently I have cranked the risk levels up even higher and have been sourcing cheap old euro cars (strong warning: don't do this if you don't know what you're in for), old Beemers, Mercs etc. I'll typically spend 4-5 hours researching the right model to buy and will create my own mini buying guide (for example, not all X5's are made equal) and also have some mechanic mates who word me up on common issues. You learn how to weed out the bad ones over time. Totally agree that it takes some courage and risk appetite, but can be rewarding and genuinely enjoyable as a hobby if you take your time.

I will give it to ya as a mechanic, you are doing damn well mate.

[craigtibbetts]

Great video mate! I’ve done a couple of flips. I’ve found tradie utes to be good earners. Best one was 2006 Rodeo for 1K and sold for 6.5K after thorough detail and polish. I noticed it parked with long grass around it, so I door knocked….Keep up the great work mate….👍🏽

[schmick]

I constantly flip Hyundai's, Subaru's and Fords. Picking the cars I know inside and out and have plenty of availability. Love the content 👍

Hustling is a way of life. Thanks for a look Into your techniques. My recent success story was an fg xr8 that I paid 14000 for, sold for 19500 in a matter of two weeks.

It's great to see one of these videos from Australia. My Dad worked for Ford most of his working life - so I really get the Falcons. Particularly the utes. I was amazed at the turnaround in the red paint - I personally would not have lowered it though. I think leave it stock if you can. Let the buyer do the modifications. I was also surprised by the effect of those 20 inch wheels. Was the Mazda buyer a collector of he just liked the old Mazda's? They still have a great reputation.

Good work man, makes good content along the way keep it up! You definitely made the most of the Covid market, it has dried up now with Covid money gone and interest rates going up, I can’t even get $8, 000 for my restored XD Wagon! 🙁

[tjnorris]

I use to do The same thing, watching this video made me miss it. Had a laugh when you mentioned how long and often you would spend on Marketplace or other car sales pages, I was exactly the same, every chance I got I was searching for a deal😂 Use to make some serious money from just a side gig tho Awesome video, could relate to a lot of things you mentioned in your video, not for everyone, definitely need some skills and need to know the market and what you're looking at buying.

Great video. Glad to have found your channel, I've been doing this for the last decade or so. I love it - every part of the process is rewarding: I have become so good at getting cars for way under asking price now. Similarly, I could sell snow to an Eskimo. The real joy is in working on the car, making it as clean as possible and my mechanical skills are always improving.

My current car: 2003 Ford BA Fairmont, Mercury silver, pacemaker ph4495s, high flow cat, 2.5" mandrel bent exhaust with hotdog centre, straight through rear muffler. Seller was asking 3500 and had only had it up for a day. I turned up, inspected the car, took it for a test drive - offered the seller 1500 and when he said "no, I can't do that" I was like "ok, no worries mate. Have a good one." started walking to my gf's car to leave. Seller: "would you do $1600?"

I couldn't get the cash out my pocket fast enough. It has brand new discs, pads, rear shocks, sparkplugs and coil packs. Has an aftermarket headunit and clarion 5x7 3ways in the doors/parcel shelves. Drives better than any BA I've ever owned (and I've had a few). Everything works, ice cold climate control... and had almost a year's rego on it.

I would feel bad for swindling the old dude I bought it from but there are no friends in business.

Hats off to you, man. What a great breakdown, top shelf 🫡

[finnsillibourne]

Hey bro really enjoyed this video. Surprisingly every tip you mentioned I had figured out myself from buying/selling cars over the years.

[kylenator]

You have gheed me up, I needed a reason to cut back my hours at work to do something like this I love

[jamespeterson]

I bought a 1993 space cab rn90 hilux for 1500, replaced the tub on it and lowered it, sold it for 9 grand, my biggest flip so far
