Car auctions are not only a great place to buy a car, they are also an excellent way to generate income in a relatively short amount of time. The best part of it all is that it’s very easy to do. As long as you follow these general guidelines you can average a profit of $1,500-$3,000 on each car you buy and sell.
Your most obvious starting point is the find out when and where the next car auction will be held in your city. You can do this by either looking through the newspaper, calling your local police station or towing yard or by buying a list of all of the car auction sites in your city. I prefer getting the list because it provides me the information on numerous locations, such as their address, phone number and even website.
After you have found out when the next auction will be, your next step is to find out what kind of cars will be sold there. You can do this by visiting the site 2-3 days before the auction or by going to their website which will usually provide you with information on the cars such as their year, make, model and mileage.
Once you have this information, select a couple of cars that you would be interested in selling. The ideal car would be one that has a low to average amount of miles on it. Now, using a Kelly Blue Book, look up the trade in value of the car because that will be your target price that you will want to pay for the car. Anything above that price will eat into your profits.
When the auction date rolls around all you have to do is inspect the vehicle to make sure that it is running good and has no signs of being in an accident, flood or fire. Once the auction starts, stick to your guns and don’t over bid for the cars you have done research on.
After you buy the car, the only thing left to do is sell it. You can do this by placing an ad on craigslist, autotrader or in your local newspaper. By selling the car for $100-300 less than what everybody else is asking for will have you car sold in a matter of no time.
Once you buy and sell a couple of cars, the process of researching the car’s value and checking for damage will get easier for you. But watch out because you can only sell so many cars before having to get a dealer’s license, which can be pretty expensive. So, check with your state’s DMV office once you sell more than 2-3 cars.
Car auction lists can make your job easier by giving you the location of car auctions taking place in your city. Visit MyCarAuctionReview.com for reviews on the best ones around!

Inland Drift’s Grand Opening April 25, 2009 in Perris, California was host to 2 skylines. A familiar sight at so.Cal drift events is the black R33 piloted by Ryan (SD9K) Literal. Making its sparkly drift debut on the dusty track is the Parts Shop MAX R33 (with R34 front end.) Drifting this car for the first time ever, Dan Greenbank lays down some smokey runs to break in the virgin GT3571R turbo.

Help answer the question about car parts
I need to find car parts for a 2001 mitsubishi diamante, can you help?Yesterday, i borrowed my sister my car and she parked and someone hit the the front of the car and took off. She didnt see who it was or got anything to catch the person who did it. I have no car insurance because my rate is insane. Anyway i need the front left fender, left headlight and front bumper replaced now. I cant find it anywhere around the local salvage lots. So i may need to order the parts. Any idea where i can find a good and cheap place online or anywhere i can access?

You need to use a peice of wood on your rails when jacking up mate to spread the load your rails look like you been hitting them with a hammer
@p35neo2 lol…let me guess…you are the, pimped out honda with a sweeeeet v-tec wind up, 9volt engine, neon lights to add horsepower and a HUGE muffler tip to give that nice “weed wacker on steriods” sound??? LOL!
@70076NUD thanks for the comment. This was a very early one…I like to think each one got better from there (latest one was HFC install on a 350Z). Thanks for watching!
I have been viewing many of the auto repair videos and have seen some better some not so good ones. But this clearly is the best produced video overall.
A very professional look not just the repair tips but the film-production value is all there. Finally, i have seen this done right. I am impressed.
considering this car is a mustang.. id suggest jacking it up high on one side till it rolls over and then torching it
I would save the scissor jacks for emergencies only–they are not as stable or safe as a real jack. But you have the right idea with using jack stands! Also, scissor jacks are painfully slow…haha
Thanks

U AUSTRALIAN PUSSY!!!
@p35neo2 Sounds like fun! let me know where you can get a jack with that kind of lift and I’ll do it! Otherwise we’ll just have to practice on your power wheels ride.
