"Hi Steve, I bought and sold a 1972 MG BGT. I bought the car for $3000.00.There was a little rust on the front quarter panel, so I paid $500 to have the whole bottom of the car painted and it came out great. I put it on ebay and had so many hits, one of which seemed like a scam. He asked what I would sell the car for, so I told him $6500 and he agreed to it. He came up and drove it home. I made a $3000 profit off of that one car!
Mike Thibaudeau, New Hampshire

"Hello Steve, Your book really helped me in so many ways. I didn't know much about cars but the book allowed me to use my creativity to make profits out of it. I am still learning. So far, I made $3,000 on my three attempts! Thank you!"
Steve, Pergentino, Adelaide, South Australia

"I have been having fun using some of the techniques in your book The Lazy Way To Buy And Sell Cars For Profit. On my first deal, I bought a rough running Corolla wagon for $250.00. Spent $50.00 on it and sold it on the first day advertised for $550.00. I made a $250.00 profit with only a few hours of work. I could have gotten more but wanted the cash for more deals. So I'm very happy with your book!"
Peter Jarocki, Australia

"I just got The Lazy Way To Buy And Sell Cars For Profit a few weeks ago and wanted to let you know how I'm doing with buying and selling cars for profit. I bought an 81 turbo diesel Mercedes Benz station wagon for $625.00 (he was asking $1400.00). I sold it for $2000.00 (Profit: $1375.00) right away but realized after that I could have easily gotten about $5000.00 for it! I bought an 83 Fiat for $1400.00 (seller was asking $2000.00) and sold it for $3500.00 (Profit: $2100.00). I bought a Kia Sportage 4 X 4 for $2500.00 (seller was asking $4000.00) and sold it for $4100.00 (Profit: $1600.00). The latest was a 98 Jeep that I bought for $5500.00 and sold it the next day for $7900.00 (Profit: $2400.00). So that was a $6650.00 total profit in just a few weeks and it would have been more had I not sold the Mercedes wagon so cheap! Thanks very much for The Lazy Way To Buy And Sell Cars For Profit.....its a great book that really opened my eye's to what I could do with this!"
Ken Tyler, El Cajon, California

"Steve, here's the breakdown... I found a Jeep Wrangler for $5250 and a Geo for $1500. I made $1600 on the Geo and sold it in 6 days. A nice set of tires and rims and a bike rack came with the Jeep and they should easily bring an extra $300. With the tires and rack, that's a total profit potential of $2200 on the Jeep."
Dan Collins, Alaska

"If you're interested in how to buy and sell cars for profit (or trucks), especially if you plan on making a profit doing so, I recommend you take a look at the e-book by Stephen Hobbs. I have already read the book and it shows in good clear language exactly how to make money buying and selling cars. I plan on doing a full review in my next newsletter. Even if you are only thinking about your next purchase, this book is sure to more than pay for itself."
Thrandur Arnthorsson, 4x4offroads.com Iceland

"Hello Steve, I got a story for you... I remember a part in your book about cars outside of apartments with For Sale signs! There was a 1999 black Dodge Stratus for $1500.00. The car had some minor issues and after some very brief negotiations they accepted my offer of $600.00. I sold it for $3,200.00 six days later. Total costs to me $646.97. PROFIT $2553.03! I've used your info on other deals but this ones the most profitable. I found a 1989 Jeep Pioneer 183k (wow) for $1400 or best offer (they were even throwing in a full tank of gas). I figured wow thats alot of miles, but the jeep was in very nice condition mechanically and the interior was very well kept. I offered $700, they countered with $900, I said $800 and keep the tank of gas. DEAL-DONE! I still think I over paid but three days later I sold it for $1300.00 CASH. $500 profit in three days--you cant beat that!"
Hector Boyar, Chicago

"Hey Steve! After reading your book, I found an under priced 1985 BMW 318i. Got them down to $1100 on a book value of more than $2000 and sold it for $1450. $350 easy money!"
Steve Webb, Oregon

"Stephen, Your book was a huge help in getting me started buying and selling cars. Shortly after ordering your book online I bought my first car for $2300.00 cash. It was a 2000 VW Jetta with 103K. I sold it in 2 days for $3750.00 cash. Profit $1450.00. No money invested only interior steam cleaning myself. Since then I have bought and sold 6 other cars with none of them costing over $3000.00. For example my latest car was a 2000 Honda civic hatch I bought for $2800.00. I sold it less than 24 hours later for $3800. Profit $980.00. I invested $20 in some hubcaps so I made just under a grand. I have never held a car longer than a week and never have invested over $50 in any car. How do I get these cars? People come to me. I simply pay $200-500 over what Carmax offers. My biggest problem is finding cars to buy. I try to stay with small economy cars especially foreign ones. Thanks for all your help and hope this testimonial helps someone get started making money in this business."
Tony Falatico, Aurora, Illinois

"Hi! I have been reading your book for some time now, and that's when I started looking into cars (myself being a fanatic of cars). So one day I see this Audi S4 Avant, a 2004 with only 66,085 kilometers on it and it was for sale at $4,400.00! So I bought the car and the next month I sold it for $35,000.00! I have made $30,600.00! And the best part, it won't stop! I keep finding the cars at such low prices! I must say, thanks to your advice I have been profitable since I started and growing better every day! I currently drive a Lamborghini Murcielago 2007 right now, never thought I would, life is great...especially at 25 years old! ;)"
Nick Roy, Canada

I wrote Nick back and asked him what he did for a living at his day job where he could afford to be buying Lamborghini's. And Nick replied immediately and said...

"Hey! What I do? Really is simple...I wait for a good deal instead of buying a lot of cars that make little profits. I mainly buy the kinda deals that gets me between $30,000.00 - $60,000.00 per car (also have my job, but it doesn't compare). So I search for 2-3 cars per years and I'm done. Some people are desperate to sell their cars. Right place right time mostly. And when the canadian dollar is strong like the past year and keeps on going...cars in USA are cheap."
Nick Roy, Canada

Nick wrote again later to tell me...

"Hey Stephen! It's me again! Just to tell you that I can not thank you enough for giving me courage to start buying and selling cars! Another success story: I just bought an Aston Martin Vanquish S for $42,000.00 and an Aston Martin DB9 for $26,500.00! When I'll sell them, it'll be over $200,000.00 in profits!!! I guess its just about getting the good deals! And by the way, can I confirm that we all can be rich by doing this? I should've done this sooner! Thanks again!"
Nick Roy, Canada

"My most recent car was a 94 dodge shadow ES V6 with 160k on it. I bought it for $400 and sold it three days later for $800.00. A $400.00 profit! The guy who bought it was mechanically inclined and needed a cheap car to get him on his feet. He was excited about the car (it's nice when the buyers like the car a lot). Before that, I bought a 95 Chrysler LeBaron convertible with 98k miles for $850. The first person who looked at it bought it for $1800 for a profit of $792.00. I decided to buy your book as a reference, and for guidance. Its nice to have a resource like this available at any given time!"
Sly H. Arizona

And here is another profitable car deal from Sly...

"Hey Stephen! I just bought and sold another car. Here are the details: 1993 pontiac grand am se total investment: $524 sold for: $900.00. Profit $376.00. Cheers!"
Sly H. Arizona

"Steve, you are one of the few guys on the internet who cares about his customers and continues to help them after the purchase of the original product."
Rich Peacock, Nevada

"I have sat here all day!! read everything as I have started this about 3 months ago, and I am buying damaged vehicles from the auctions and selling them again! the insight has been a real blessing, Many Thanks!"
Paul Whitfield, Victoria, Australia

"Hi Stephen this is Yevgeniy again. After buying your ebook I followed your advices and it worked out just great. I made some good money. Nice extra cash when you are a student, I average $700.00 a car of clean profits. Thanks to Stephen, I got extreme motivation to go into car business. Right now I sell from a small village in the state of Michigan, where you will mostly find farms, lakes and endless woods. However, Stephen's model tought me how to make people drive to me because I have cars that they want. My price is right and my cars are right. I had people driving for 4 hours from Traverse City to purchase a car! One of my favorite deals was buying 1997 Pontiac Grand Am GT for $800.00 and selling it for $2000.00 in no time after investing only $100.00 into bushings. So if I can do it from small village in Michigan, you can too!"
Yevgeniy, Michigan

"Hi Steve, thanks for the book, I read it twice and then went back to the chapter on killer deals. As a result of your advice I was able to buy a locally-owned 1992 Lexus in SHOWROOM condition (see attached photos) for $3900 CAN!!! I was going to sell this one but it's so nice, we are keeping it and selling my Mazda MX6 Mystere using your techniques. We have a local public weekly car auction with all the selling prices over the last year listed on their web site, so I'm going to attend it for a couple of weeks to get a better feel for prices and potential profits. Will keep you posted. Largely because of your information, buying and selling cars looks like being my retirement project. I'm starting with cheap, small, student-oriented cars (we are a university town) but my eventual niche is likely to be luxury vehicles as it suits my style. By the way, just bought an Eagle Summit at auction for $900 and sold it for $2750 with only three hours work and getting a new exhaust manifold pipe installed. The buyer didn't even haggle."
Peter McCaffery, British Columbia, Canada

"Steve, thanks for your imput and honesty. I am not looking to get rich just to have some extra money in our families pocket; i have been working the same job for 20 years and we have 3 children one getting ready to go off to college so we will be needing this extra cash. I hope things are good and again thank you for your time and God Bless you and your family."
Tommy Burns, Indiana

Mark Cornius, Baltimore, Maryland

"Hi Steve, After reading your book I purchased a 97 Sable for $250. It needed new tires and a tune up. I put about $270 into it. I was offered $1100 but decided to keep it for my wife. Now we have a reliable car without another payment. Your book is awesome!"
Jared Mitchell, Salt Lake, Utah

"I have really enjoyed your book. I appreciate the fact that you have clear examples and not just general information. I definitely got my moneys worth and I already have a 1997 Honda Accord that I'm working on too!"
Ron Miller, Florida

"Hi Stephen, I finished reading the main book and really enjoyed it! Excellent material and it was entertaining as well. Its nice to know that there are still some decent human beings out there that are interested in communicating their discoveries to the world instead of just trying to rip people off...Thank You."

"Stephen, Just thought I would share this. With gases prices increasing daily, everyone is looking for more economical means of transportation. I myself drive a GMC Yukon, and have a Dodge Ram for work. Neither one get better than 12-14 mpg around town. I started looking at ads last week on our local autotrader website. I found a 1993 Mitsubishi Mighty Max Truck for sale. The ad said it needed the motor rebuilt and windshield but was otherwise in good shape. After interrogating the seller, he told me that he had owned it since '99 and started listing all the new parts he had replaced recently. It had a knock in the motor he said and was leaking oil. It needs a new motor he said. Asking price $1200.00. I went out to look and after examining the truck, outside of the problems he mentioned, the truck was in great shape! Even had a new set of roadhugger white letters on it! Luckily, I happen to be mechanically inclined and know a little about cars. When we first cranked the truck, it was not knocking. He kept turning it off and recranking to try to reproduce the knocking. Finally on the fourth try, it start knocking. He said see, it has a thrown or bent rod. I knew this was not the case and it was simply a lifter out of adjustment. He said that it had been over heating as well, and he had just replaced the radiator, water pump and thermostat. What he did not replace was the fan cowl which was missing. After some negotiation, we agreed on a cash price of $550.00. By the way, the windshield was a simple small crack on the drivers side down low that did not obstruct the driver's view. I got the truck home, spent about $140 on it and it purrs like a kitten. No oil leaks, no overheating and no knocking. Now I have an economical truck to run around in. In comparison, this truck would easily sell for $2000 to $2500 bucks especially because it gets 22 to 25 mpg! I'll get some use out of it and sell it when gas prices go back down (if they ever do). Motto: Don't overlook the little gems in the rough just because of the description. He said he had only one other call on it in 30 days and that guy never showed up. It's rare to find them like this, but the guy was not very knowledgeable about cars and happen to be too honest for his own good! Feel free to use this if you need some content! Take care."

"Thanks for your quick response. I appreciate your advise and I'm sure you have just saved me a ton of time and money!

"Steve, Honestly, I have not bought one single car with your program. However, I have used several ideas from your course in my current business, which is Real Estate. I set out with full intentions to start buying and selling cars but when I applied some of your techniques in advertising to get buyers and to find deals in Real Estate they worked so good I have not had time to buy any cars. I have made thousands of dollars over the past few months with just a couple techniques I learned in your book that I have applied to this business. So in short, if I can use your techniques to buy and sell real estate then buying and selling cars should be a no brainer. I truly think you can use your information to teach people to buy and sell whatever they want. Thanks a bunch!"
Jesse Davis, Mississippi

"The principles in the 'The Lazy Way To Buy And Sell Cars For Profit' are very sound. I’ve applied them in a slightly different automobile “market” than Steve discusses, but with similar results. Instead of buying used running cars to re-sell, I buy either running or non-running “project cars.” I specialize in British sports cars – such as MGB’s, MG Midgets, and Austin Healey Sprites. They’re rare and there are a lot of people nationally who restore them… and are willing to pay quite a price to get an original part. The fact that these cars haven’t be sold in the U.S. since 1980 make them increasingly rare and valuable. While I’m willing to do the more expensive cars – like Jaguars, Morgans, and the big Austin Healeys – I prefer to stick with the MGB’s, MG Midgets, and Austin Healey Sprites because there were more produced… more product available and a lower price for a bigger market. In one case, I bought a 75 MGB that a friend had stored away for five years after he realized he wasn’t ever going to finish restoring it. He called me to ask if I was interested and I told him I’d be buying it for re-selling the parts so I wouldn’t be able to pay him what it was really worth. He said he only needed a little… just enough to buy a new head for his 675 hp racing car. I ended up paying $1200 for the entire car: Body, brand new re-built engine, and crates of new and used parts. I kept about $600 worth of parts for my own two MGB’s, then started selling the other parts. My “marketing” consisted of using eBay, my own website, the website of the Reno MG – All British Car Club, ads in the British Marque Car Club News, an ad in the North American MGB Registry, telling my British car mechanic what I had, word-of-mouth to fellow MGB owners, and newspaper ads. The more “discreet” I make the product, the more money I make – for example, selling a dashboard with all the instruments might bring $110… however, by stripping out the instruments, I can sell the dashboard itself for about $80, the speedometer for $35, the tachometer for $35, the oil gauge for $25, the fuel gauge for $25, the clock for $25, the light switch for $20, the brake check light for $20, and the other switches and bezels for maybe another $50. I ship these parts by USPS, UPS, or bus all over the nation (with the purchaser paying for freight costs). After keeping out many parts for my own MGB’s, I ended up making almost $6,000 on this project! Just a couple of weeks ago, I bought a 65 Austin Healey Sprite and a 69 MG Midget (both fairly rare cars) along with two extra transmissions, two extra engines, 12 wire wheels, 5 regular wheels, new hubcaps, five brand new tires, extra doors, extra hoods and trunk decks, brand new upholstery and carpeting kits, extra windows, and crates and crates of other parts. The parts alone filled an 8’ x 12’ storage shed and a 12’ x 16’ storage building. I took my time buying all this. He kept calling and emailing me back over a period of a couple of months, letting me know I was his only real prospect. The guy originally asked $3,500, but I told him there had to be enough to make a margin while taking a risk. I ended up paying just $2,000 for all these parts. I even got him to agree to store some of the parts for up to nine months. Meantime, I did my research and believe I can resell them for a total of somewhere between $5,000 and $8,000!"
