I'm trying to get my green venison car ready to sell. I've been thinking of building an engine for it and trying to sell it as a runner. I think I could make it into a $4-$5k car (new paint, new engine, good tranny, decent interior, guranteed* no rust) but the problem is that it has a salvage title from when I hit the deer.
How does finding out a car has a salvage title affect your purchasing? * If you find rust within 6 months, I fix it free labor. |

Yes, It depends on how far you take it.
Use a $3999 motor kit as the new motor and a $3000 paint job, plus the trims, interior, suspension, tires, wheels and you are at $ 8-9K not including the labor to de-rust and build the motor. Custom build cars are BIG bucks. A " perfect " 914-4 should pull down $10-15K! People will say say " no way " ; but I say " save your receipts and talk to me when it's perfect ". You'll save if you are a do it yourselfer. That's not what were talking about though. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Find the right buyer and give them the car of their dreams! Build it and they will come...with money. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) KT |
