Personally, I don't like dealing with salvage title vehicles because they are hard to sell because most buyers freak out when they see its a salvage title. I would stick with vehicles with clear titles only. Keep in touch and let me know how it goes.

I like cars better than cubicles. Just how much of a difference can I make buying and selling cars if I put my painting trade into it? I was self employed for 10 years and sold out. I've been working at a reconditioning facility doing paint work for one of the largest used car companies in the US. I'm ready to go back to work for myself now and I'm looking at the used car business. I've thought about buying salvage title cars at insurance auctions to fix and resell. Would I be better off doing clean title cars and using my time more efficiently? I can take a car with NO damage and repaint it in a day or so. I think I'm looking for a starting point and hoping a business model will fall into place once I get more experience. In case anyone thinks it can't be done, the facility I'm working at has about 1700 cars at all times (just in my location) being reconditioned to be resold. I’m a college educated automotive painter.

Thanks for participating. Yes, the temptation to "over do it" when preparing a used car for selling is typical when first starting out. Some cars do require doing everything you can to make them look as new as possible. The key lies in knowing what those things are and then don't bother wasting time and money on the rest.

Buying and selling used cars can be as simple a business as you want it to be - or it can be really complicated. I'm like you and do it simple. The guy, Joe from Tacome entrusted to be able to handle the actual buying and selling of cars really had no idea what he was doing. IT REALLY IS AS SIMPLE AS THAT! He may have been a well meaning individual but he was clueless. I was flailing in this business a few years ago not really having all the pieces to the puzzle (because I was putting too much time and money into the cars I was buying) until I finally broke down and bought and read your book. The funny thing is that I thought I already knew everything before that. Bill I totally get it Steve.
