That big ass boat was completely worthless in the snow, fishtailed everywhere in the rain, had a 5.0 V8 that got like 14mpg, but the interior was super clean, and most importantly, it ran. Good memories with that car

Good luck with that now. I should preface that by saying that I am talking about my area. I don't care how well you know cars, in my area you would be lucky to find anything that was driveable on the freeway for under $1500. I have bought over 30 cars in the last 3 years from individuals, craigslist, referrals, customers, auctions, and I have only lucked into 2 cars that I got cheap and ended up being able to flip them fast with a minimal investment. If it is really that easy for you to find cheap well running cars you would be a fool not to take advantage of that and flip as many as you can IMO.
