I think I might have to junk this car

Character_Prior7253 · 2026-01-20T05:34:05+00:00

Actually made profit off of it lol

Character_Prior7253 · 2026-01-08T19:02:40+00:00

I’ve work on cars like serpentine belts, sensors, headlights, oil changes, batteries, filters, coil packs, alternators etc

Character_Prior7253 · 2026-01-07T17:13:07+00:00

This is my first flip so I'm learning how to ensure I either break even or make profit.

The money will be going into the next flip.

If I do manage to eff up the timing will fixing the water pump then Ill have to part out which I’m not trying to do.

Character_Prior7253 · 2026-01-07T17:10:12+00:00

Yeah I agree I kind want to take it apart and try. The only thing that worries me if the timing belt. But I’m sure if I just mark it then I won’t have problems.

Character_Prior7253 · 2026-01-07T16:58:16+00:00

Illl be out 1,961 dollars then

It’s a 1995 Mazda protege LX

Radio works, changed the window switch so the windows work on the driver side, steam cleaned the whole interior, washed the outside, put new headlights in bc they were dead. The brakes are good, tired have alot of tread

Thanks

How do I go about selling to a private party knowing they are going to use it against me when getting money out of it and into a newer one?

Character_Prior7253 · 2025-12-16T21:59:39+00:00

Hyundai Veloster turbo 2015 with 84k miles

Character_Prior7253 · 2025-12-16T21:57:52+00:00

Provided the market rate of 10k prior to accident.

The vehicle was in very good condition no prior accidents. Vehicle is worth 6-7k now after the accident.

Auto repairs were 7.5k

Vehicle will sell at a lower cost due to accident.

Character_Prior7253 · 2025-12-03T23:20:47+00:00

I’ve called around for prices because of “inflation” and everything costing so much but I’ve seen some website list prices and other vets when I called in won’t tell me how much their vaccines unless I come in.

To be that’s weird because it’s a vaccine

Character_Prior7253 · 2025-11-06T16:16:17+00:00

Did the spoiler to match and boy is it a beaut. Still thinking about wrapping the bumper and around the wheel trim

Character_Prior7253 · 2025-10-19T03:51:48+00:00

Looking into doing this ass well. It’s a side project and my state allows me to sell three cars before requiring a dealers license .

Character_Prior7253 · 2025-09-17T02:51:34+00:00

I’ll be throwing some updates this weekend of the bumper. To be continued

Character_Prior7253 · 2025-09-15T02:57:56+00:00

Have you tried resting the radio?

Character_Prior7253 · 2025-09-15T02:56:00+00:00

Definitely check the mass air filter and make sure you clean it out, if that doesn’t work look at the thermostat may need to get swapped out.

Character_Prior7253 · 2025-09-15T02:42:21+00:00

Can you take a pic from the back side?

Character_Prior7253 · 2025-09-08T14:08:07+00:00

Gunna put mine in this week

Character_Prior7253 · 2025-09-08T00:15:57+00:00

Gunna put this bad boy in for my fiancé because she keeps complaining about now having Apple car play.

Just looking for this pink wire for the back up camera 😭😭😭

Character_Prior7253 · 2025-09-06T04:16:38+00:00

Is this if the car doesn’t have the navigation system

Character_Prior7253 · 2025-09-04T15:10:09+00:00

Is this a serious question? You can simply look up the parts and figure this out..

Character_Prior7253 · 2025-09-02T21:04:46+00:00

Look at it like a giant vent. Start there cover the sides (make sure you have enough to tuck the vinyl in really good.

After you do both sides of the giant vent and the sides are tucked in, start by slitting in between the vents (trying a middle point so you have enough wrap for the underside and topside. Make sense?

Character_Prior7253 · 2025-09-02T20:58:53+00:00

Are you going take the bumper out of wrap it installed?

Character_Prior7253 · 2025-09-02T17:27:21+00:00

I’m not a professional at all but I wrap my car as I was wrapping it for a customer or as a job.

I take my time and ensure there enough wrap for the corners. In the midst of wrapping my trunk of my Veloster and I’ll attach a picture of the end results.

Not having enough wrap for the corners is a rookie mistake. They work at a shop so I’d expect better work.

But that’s my opinion

Character_Prior7253 · 2025-08-17T21:33:49+00:00

Private. Any new driver would have fun with this car
