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...
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 🙏
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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 💯👍🏾
I got a Frankenstein EG coupe that had been sitting for 2 years for free. gave it a good cleaning, new battery and oil change. Sold it for $2k a week later
@@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 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 $18 they were trying to scam them
i like to buy old d series hondas with blown head gaskets, rough idles, and automatic transmissions, i find them for 5-800 dollars all day. helps if you can find a vtec model too. honda guys will pay nicely for a well done manual swap and you can get all the parts for less than 400 dollars. also a head gasket job on these little single cams takes a few hours tops. detail interior and clean up the engine bay and you got a 3000 dollar car from a 600 dollar car after a weekend of work (or less, i just picked up a sedan for 450 with idle issues)
Oh man, if one day I get a job in USA or Canada I'm definitely going to get one of these older Civics, I dream of getting the coupe version from 1995 to 2000. I currently have the 2000 lx model here in Brazil, and I love it so much.. Sadly even old civics are hard to maintain, the newer ones is just for people who get a decent money per month.. Seeing used civics for less than 3.000$ is crazy, here in Brazil with 3.000R$ you cant even buy a running decent car.
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!
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.
I’m also from Illinois I’m near 60402 zip, I own a civic EF hatch that I’m trying to flip, it’s a good but rough process, it’s currently sitting on coils
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
well, finding one with no rust three layered paint job is hard enough . to find one thats wrapable , with some goodies . thats a good frind for someone who knows what thier doing. its all labour and most will reused old parts or cheap aftermarket parts . im no honda guy... do they even make parts for these cars ??
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
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 😬
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 😂🤷🏻
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.
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😂.
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
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
Hey bud what do I need to start using the Computer to check the ECU Data and all that. I want to start getting more into it already have Laptop just want to know what else I need
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...
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
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
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

and the wheels....
@@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...
Ecu is like $30 or free shove it down your pants at a pick a part and so are knuckles. Get a clue
Scrapyard
@@BobbyBasketballl well he had one laying around if not he would have probably bought the wheel bearing for less then $50
This is gonna be horrible for the used honda market, everyone thinking they can double their money in a day! Ouch 😂
I can only hope so lol
its been like that for almost 2 decades. it didnt ruin the market
Good for me because I’m about to sell my ek civic hatch manual
They gonna think it’s always that easy
I’m already on marketplace👀

I get not including the price of the knuckle assembly and the trottle position sensor cause you could get those from the junk yard for
Those wheels are worthless 16s are shit they have bad tire choices and they’re replicas of a non popular wheel. Tires are worth more than the rims
How in the world did you get a car WITH a b18c for that cheap!! I can't get that motor that cheap in WA state
