Psych0matt Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Two questions: How many hours/money do you have into some of these? just to kind of get an idea of your profit after everything. Also, you can do vert tops? Would you be willing (for a price obviously) to do one for me sometime in the future? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRONDOG442 Posted February 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 More pics of the 2004 T boned Alero after completion Matt Yes I can do vert tops and I would much rather show you and help you do yours over Free of charge, as far as hours invested many cost little, i can get you some better numbers on the cars when I return from lunch....

IRONDOG442 Posted February 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 The most I profited off one deal was the LQ1 deal !! Bought 8 of these babies for $200 each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRONDOG442 Posted February 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 To give you a quick and dirty estimate Matt If i dont make at least $2000 off each car I dont bother working on them. Average profit ranges from $2,000-$3,000 per car sometimes more but thats about the average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
