You should list the price of the parts you swapped. ECU is more or less 300 and knuckle is another 300. Thats a significant cost if you didnt have those.
@@rog3rs528 forgot about that yeah... now that you mention it, this video is misleading because it doesn't account for these these things. There is profit yes, but small to moderate and not double...
You paid $1500. Your net was $2495. Not exactly tripling your money, but nice work nonetheless. Having spare parts laying around and being handy helps. Good stuff 👍👍👍
He had 1500, 11 days later he had 4500. If you keep the misc cost out (hence the use of “basically” in the video) he went pretty close to tripling his money
Most people are probably not going to have a whole set of rims or an ECU lying around. Also it would be suspect if he "just happened" to have all the spare parts ready for any problems he has yet to find on any other cars he buys and flips. I think on this one he got lucky those were the only noticeable issues.
@@AzwadAnjumIslam in theory, 11 days ago he had at least $2,005 in his bank account. He spent $2,005 dollars over 11 days to make $4,500 dollars. HE now has $4,500 in his bank account... this is not triple his money, he did not triple his money by any measure.
Not a fair assumption considering he could've sold the wheels, knuckle and ecu. All parts off a car can be sold for the right price and condition. Probably made around 500$ realistic profit
I sold my car WAY too cheap. Luckily I wasn’t trying to flip it for profit. Listed it for $2,750, sold it an hour later for $2,250. The guy that bought it listed it about 30 minutes later for $4,250 and sold it that same day. 2005 Accord V6 with 329k miles. It had every factory option, and I upgraded the radio with a 10” touchscreen with Apple CarPlay. Car was super clean inside with only a single 2” tear in the leather on the driver bolster. Outside had typical clear coat fade and a crack on the front bumper. Mechanically sound, I had replaced the power steering pump and rack, new suspension bushing all the way around, new brakes, new tires, all new gaskets on the engine. Didn’t leak or burn a drop of oil. Honestly was a really good car, aside from the mileage. I had about $3k into it altogether and drove it for a few years🤷♂️
heavy on the bad quality posts or just uninterested sellers in general, bought my k24a4 04 accord for 1.5k from some lady that didnt know anything about cars saying "dont ask a bunch of questions, will not answer" granted me being mechanically inclined and my father being a mechanic, we asked her to bring it to the dealer we work at, answered our own questions and worked her down from $1.8k
@@YvngQ the used knuckle is still worth $50. IAC prob another $50 (he took it off his car, he’s gotta replace it on that car). The wheels with tires I’d assume $500 at least used. Not to mention the Hondata ecu which is at least $500. So over $1000 not accounted for. Flipping a $1500 car and claiming $2500 in profit in 10 days is actually $1500 or less. $150 (or less) per day of work.
@@georgallasj but the wheels, they're nothing crazy. I had some absolutely mint JNCs (I know nothing crazy either) but they were wrapped in brand new R888Rs and I couldn't even get 500 for those.
Hey that’s crazy, my friend just sent me this video! I sold that car to Daniel a little over a year ago! Looks like he didn’t change much after I sold it to him. Very cool I got to see this. Funny fact I bought that car for $300 and swapped it before I swapped and boosted my ek sedan! Let me know if the buyer does send you some updated pictures of the body work gets done that would be cool to see the history live on 🙏
Well done. However you should add the cost of your parts stash in the final cost. You would of had to buy them if you didn't already have them sitting around.
Always, always count the costs of those parts even if you think they aren't worth it to the final with the labor hours so you know exactly if you made profit or not. Not doing so devalues your labor and existing stock. I hate when people use the term flip, unless you just spit shined it and sold it to a better buyer, it's not really a flip. This also devalues the work put it. You made a profit by putting in the work and got compensated fairly, depending on how you rate your work to begin with - that is a great skill put to work. The buyer also got a good deal because he paid for that work not to be done in a shop or his own time.
Please let me know if you enjoyed this type of video! I had a lot of fun making it and will make more if you guys love it too 🙌 Also support my hustle by picking up a t shirt or hoodie from; earneverything.shop
Hell yeah bro, do more of these types of videos if you can! You’re doing these cars a favour by fixing them up and checking them over, and you’re giving the future owners a service by actually posting a good listing. It’s good to know exactly what you’re buying when you go to see it.
That's not your average every day deal. That's a super good deal that you only find once in a while. You got people thinking they can get a GSR swap ek for $1500😂. It's just not happening unless you just get super lucky. Like i said you find deals like that once in a while not all the time. That car would normally go for 4k before you done anything to it lol😂.
@@boosted_johnno kidding. I paid $2000 for my 2000 ex auto that hadn't been washed in 5 years with no cat and busted del sol wheels. Just finished the video and well done man!! I started my parts career at 16 at a honda dealership and been hooked since. 52 honda's later and here we are.
I did the same thing bought a 97 ek hatch with a blown trans for $600 body and interior is clean . Ended up finding a whole d16y8 swap with record history for $900 and the car is running mint i wanted to flip it but I love this car to much now lol
Oh man, if one day I get a job in USA or Canada I'm definitely going to get one of these older Civics, I dream of getting the coupe version from 1995 to 2000. I currently have the 2000 lx model here in Brazil, and I love it so much.. Sadly even old civics are hard to maintain, the newer ones is just for people who get a decent money per month.. Seeing used civics for less than 3.000$ is crazy, here in Brazil with 3.000R$ you cant even buy a running decent car.
Welcome to the game! I did this my last year of college for 6 month on Craigslist with Civics, Accords, and Camry’s and bought my first 5 bedroom rooming house. I subsequently bought a property a year there after using the equity from the one before.
I'm glad you mention being polite, i have been telling people, if you selling anything online, yes is yours, but being nice goes a long way. I have seen people post things for sale, but don't want to be asked questions about their post.
THANK YOU. I try to tell my friends the red flags in a post they think is fine. If the post isn’t quality or at least somewhat detailed leave it be. -atleast for them because they aren’t mechanically inclined
Best way to flip and make money, have all the parts from a previous car so it technically doesn't count as spending money. If he had to buy the parts he needed we might not have seen this video
Question? Did you swap the ecu back out after getting it to run right? If not you didn't include that as an expense and for those of us who don't have an ecu with hondata laying around that could be a major hiccup or $$$$ into the flip. Not to mention it's one part you had laying around that definitely has some value.
@@D0mSupra Which really makes no sense in terms of someone wanting to do what he did(flip a car for "big" profit). Not everyone will have those things laying around. At some point the things he had cost him something...
I just bought a 2002 Ford focus with 178000 miles in 3 days I fixed the air conditioner and the fan relay sold for 2,500 I got a good deal on the. AR my customer was just looking g to get rid of it so I took it off there hands knowing I could fix what's sad is some macanic told them it would. Out over 2k to fix air conditioning I fixes it for $18 they were trying to scam them
Great content and I really enjoyed how you explained each step in the process and your knowledge of Hondas also helps as I’m looking to do one as a first project. Thanks again 💯👍🏾
You have to input the parts you out into it even though you own them they still have a price with that said nice job I personally would have kept that gem for the fact that it was GS-R swapped the swap alone cost 4-5k
Hey man since you know a lot about 90 model Hondas I have a 1998 Accord 2.3L ULEV I've replaced the Vtec solenoid and the idle air control valve and I'm still getting the p1259 code and the cars in complete limp mode the question I'm having does it have to be OEM VTEC solenoids and parts to make the car run right because I don't know what else to do lol 😂🤷🏻
Where are you located I have a 1999 Honda accord manual I don’t want anymore thing runs like a champ radiator needs replaced which is an easy fix and the cv axle also needs replaced which I have the part for just don’t have the time
Hi John, are you in chicago? I would like to know if you can check my 2001 honda civic lx the aircondtioner and fan for ac not working. Ac is not working either.
So all I gotta do is have a ton of used parts laying around that are worthless except when I need it to fix all the issues I have with the flip. EZ money!
bruh before i finish watch your video, do you any idea how i can remove the piece of rubber from the cube we use to remove the spark plugs? it was stuck in the inside of the spark plugs with the park so i try to remove with a screw driver but cant do harder cuz i dont want to broke the spark inside the chamber so let me know ASAP pls!!!! im a new follower btw love whole Honda civics gen except 2001-2005,mine is 2006 ex coupe bougth to come and come from home and work
While this flip was a good one with all your extra spare parts “laying around”, let’s flip the next one and see what the net profit will be getting some decent wheels n tires? I did this a couple times about 10 years ago and the profits averaged $1,000. While 5th n 6th gens are getting cheaper to buy depending how busted they are, the parts are getting more expensive it’s wild 😬
Meanwhile i message ppl and don’t even reply back to me , they just see my messages. I normally say like im interested in the car, are you available today?? I would like to go see it in person . And i get ghosted lol
Dont you think its a low blow to " add the dudes name lmaoo and then you talking about how you pretty much suckered someone's dad to buy his son a Honda that you got for very cheap price and all the basic cheap stuff that was replaced? And to say hope your watching like i get what your Tryna say, but you lack the basic human knowledge and come off careless by your report with the prices etc. Or is that just me?
Not adding the cost of the wheels and knuckle is not realistic. I bet even aftermarket those parts are about 400-500. So realistically probably closer to 1800. Then there is the time you spent on it which states your labor rate. Looks like you spent 20 hours of labor if it is 10 days. Meaning 90 dollars an hour except you had help so let’s raise it it 30 hours. So 60 dollars an hour. You also have to pay tax on your sale in Illinois so you will have lost another 300 bringing you to 50 dollars an hour. That is still great for hobby work.
the parts that you had and put on like HONDADATA iacv spindle wheels and what not is easily over 800$ and theres no way someone is going to find a ek hatch let alone that is already swapped with a gsr trans too for 1500 maybe 4/5 years and also your going to make people think they can just buy and sell cars when you dont say how to do it legally and also if you was someone who had no skills or space or tools and you paid someone to do this work for the time you spent 2 weeks so roughly 336 hours you sleep for half that and lets say you work 6 hours a day on your car for 2 weeks thats over 100 hours roughly you would be owing money if you accounted for time and labor
how're you so mechanically inclined? I wish I could figure out the issues that quickly just off of few test drives and then figure out exactly what I need to do to fix it lol
Dude ur a hell of a mechanic should work for ferrari bro i would try this problem is i asuume u need some extesivevknowlege to actual make money off it good job
Not including those 2 parts because you already had them doesn’t add up to making more money. You didn’t double your money at all. But you made some money and had fun. Be real.
No disrespect but the guys who actually buy and sell cars know the majority of the stuff your saying and doing, this is just going to add a bunch of weirdos buying up the decent flip cars
Damm 1500 for an ek with a gsr thats impossible a shell where i live is 1500 gsr swap over 3k hondata over 600 wheels like that like 600 gsr seats like 300+ clean tittle ek with swap over 6k in los angles area
This video is SO misleading. You don't even account for TWO significant things you installed: wheels/tires and the s300! Thats $700 unaccounted for, on the LOW side! IACV/knuckle, meh. Those can be found easily enough, but the wheels/ECU should be accounted for!
With this being my first car flip video, I admit that I made a mistake by leaving out those costs. Check out my most recent video. I accepted my audiences feedback about my numbers and was very thorough in the next one.
Next episode you can one up it by going to a food shelter and resell bread for $1.25, oh and add some Facebook market place tips. Flipping cars lol. You bought it cheap and sold it to a dude for 2k more. Uhh okay with the work and fees you put into it. The star of the show is your friend, selling you it for so cheap.
I'm mean that's fair but the rims and tires were a $400 sale for sure so that should be included. Sounds to me like the State was the real winner in this who deal as they did zero work and made 20% of what you paid for it!
I bought my 2008 Accord wagon 3 years ago for $5000 when the used car market started going crazy, do you think I could triple my money on that pile🤔🤔🤔🤔
I couldn’t imagine finding a b series ek for $1500 😂 in my area straight shells sell for 2500. All the deals are found out of state you need to own a truck and trailer

Then there is the time you spent on it which states your labor rate. Looks like you spent 20 hours of labor if it is 10 days. Meaning 90 dollars an hour except you had help so let’s raise it it 30 hours. So 60 dollars an hour. You also have to pay tax on your sale in Illinois so you will have lost another 300 bringing you to 50 dollars an hour. That is still great for hobby work.
bro how did u get that for 1500
the parts that you had and put on like HONDADATA iacv spindle wheels and what not is easily over 800$ and theres no way someone is going to find a ek hatch let alone that is already swapped with a gsr trans too for 1500 maybe 4/5 years and also your going to make people think they can just buy and sell cars when you dont say how to do it legally and also if you was someone who had no skills or space or tools and you paid someone to do this work for the time you spent 2 weeks so roughly 336 hours you sleep for half that and lets say you work 6 hours a day on your car for 2 weeks thats over 100 hours roughly you would be owing money if you accounted for time and labor
$4500/2005 = 2.24x. Not counting your hourly labour costs. Great side hustle. Not quite triple.
how're you so mechanically inclined? I wish I could figure out the issues that quickly just off of few test drives and then figure out exactly what I need to do to fix it lol
Dude ur a hell of a mechanic should work for ferrari bro i would try this problem is i asuume u need some extesivevknowlege to actual make money off it good job
For the love of God normalize the music and voice loudness, please. You are destroying my ears with random music on 300% volume
Step 1. Buy undervalued car
Step 2. Have all the problems laying around as spare parts in your garage
Step 3. $$$ 😂
Not including those 2 parts because you already had them doesn’t add up to making more money. You didn’t double your money at all. But you made some money and had fun. Be real.
No disrespect but the guys who actually buy and sell cars know the majority of the stuff your saying and doing, this is just going to add a bunch of weirdos buying up the decent flip cars
Damm 1500 for an ek with a gsr thats impossible a shell where i live is 1500 gsr swap over 3k hondata over 600 wheels like that like 600 gsr seats like 300+ clean tittle ek with swap over 6k in los angles area
Such a good video… but why you gotta give away all the secrets. Love finding gems off terrible listings.
Bro flipping 90s Hondas is crazy if you can somehow do it props to you
Warren Buffett always says you make your money when you buy the stock, not when u sell it. Yes it applies.
Titel fees in my contry is a12€ what are the giving you for that 385$ free tyres or what
the engine alone is worth at least $1500. In my area you never find deals like this.
This video is SO misleading. You don't even account for TWO significant things you installed: wheels/tires and the s300! Thats $700 unaccounted for, on the LOW side!
IACV/knuckle, meh. Those can be found easily enough, but the wheels/ECU should be accounted for!
With this being my first car flip video, I admit that I made a mistake by leaving out those costs. Check out my most recent video. I accepted my audiences feedback about my numbers and was very thorough in the next one.
No fucking way i paid 1500 for the gsr complete motor alone he got lucky
What do I do if my 2000 civic ek take awhile to pick up speed when I put my foot down
Wow you’re so cool nighttime and messing around with breaks and rev
New glarus 👀. I have a feeling you’re very close gurnee hahaha
bro you put at least $1500 in to it, so you maybe made $1500 if that m time is money too!
Next episode you can one up it by going to a food shelter and resell bread for $1.25, oh and add some Facebook market place tips. Flipping cars lol. You bought it cheap and sold it to a dude for 2k more. Uhh okay with the work and fees you put into it. The star of the show is your friend, selling you it for so cheap.
I had no prior interaction with the seller.
I don't think I have ever seen anyone hand scrub a built engine bay before....
You forgot the wheels and that hondata s300 could have sold that alone for $500.
Awesome video! I look forward to working on the car with my dad.
If I had a dollar for everytime dude said "I just had a x lying around" 😂
Just know how much you have into it, then set a price
As a mitsu fan, i always get confused when ppl say gsr and then show a honda engine lol
I'm mean that's fair but the rims and tires were a $400 sale for sure so that should be included. Sounds to me like the State was the real winner in this who deal as they did zero work and made 20% of what you paid for it!
Illinois is a scam
thats 4k in wisco , no way you'd get it for $1500 here
Dude I need your expertise. I have a 98 Honda accord Lx…
10:17 "If your listing looks like crap, you are going to attract buyers."...or Boosted John 😁
Lol Boosted John as a buyer*
I bought my 2008 Accord wagon 3 years ago for $5000 when the used car market started going crazy, do you think I could triple my money on that pile🤔🤔🤔🤔
Have you ever got stuck with a car you couldn't sell
You pretty much just bought a swap with a free shell 😂😂😂
Personally id be doing little car builds just to have a little collection
I couldn’t imagine finding a b series ek for $1500 😂 in my area straight shells sell for 2500. All the deals are found out of state you need to own a truck and trailer
