I was doing that sort of thing years back when I needed extra cash. You can get a decent sideline going if your realistic about what profits you expect to make. I found the best way was to seek out older vehicles that once put back on the block would sell for $1500-$3000 (of course your paying $500-$1500, plus parts and your labor). There are alot of folk out there that are looking for cheap transpo. There are also alot of folk with older cars that are giving them trouble, where in reality their cars have only minor problems. What you have to avoid are the basket cases...engine smokes, trans shot; rust buckets, etc. As was pointed out above, avoid registering the car. That will increment the title prefix making the car appear to have more previous owners.
