I bought a 97 dodge intrepid with tranny problems for 100 bucks. The car is super nice, the engine runs great, and it drives good (well, other than needing a tranny.)
An old friend had it, he bought a new car and told me to bring a 100 dollars and drive it home, so thats what I did...
Put it on craigslist for 600 obo the way it is, if it doesnt sell I'll fix it and make even more money on it...
Have a few other cars ligned up as well... :happy055:

The tranny is stuck in limp mode, did some reading and theres a good chance it could be the input speed sensor, cost about 20-30 bucks at the parts store. If I get lucky and the new sensor works, I should be able to make around $2,500 off the car... woot-woot!
If not, I have a buddy with a wrecked 97 intrepid that I can get the tranny out of for around 200, my uncle said he'd put it in for another 200, and new fluid and filter would take it to a grand total of about $550 total invested in the car... Should be able to sell it for around 2,500-3,000 fixed....

I bought a 93 mercury sable today. 68,000 orginal miles, pretty nice car, runs and drives real good. In with the deal I got a 1995 ford taurus parts car that doesnt run, but has some parts that my sisters needs for hers.
Price paid: 500 (includes parts car) Then selling the parts car to my uncle for 150.00. So now I have 350.00 into the sable...
My sisters friend is coming to looking at the sable tomorrow, selling it for $850.00 (which is a good deal I think.) potential profit --> $500.00
I've had alot of calls on the intrepid, but have to wait for the title to get back before I can sell it... Probably end of getting around $450 for it he way it sits... potential profit --> $350.00
Then I'll be back down to a 93 s10 and the 88 mustang... But as of right now I have 5 cars... EKK, gotta unload a few... :)
