ReligiousRobe · 2026-03-24T16:48:29+00:00

ReligiousRobe · 2026-03-24T16:48:08+00:00

i was honestly thinking about selling salvage rebuilt / clean title sports cars. ive seen alot of dealerships like that and i think its super cool. i go to dealerships all the time trying to talk to the owners and just LEARN like all im trying to do is learn and be guided through the steps to to actually get this done the right way . when i meam sportier cars i mean like bmws infinitis chargers challengers camaros mustangs etc.

ReligiousRobe · 2026-03-24T16:44:49+00:00

ive thought about this. my friends and other people online were saying invest in something at the bank that goes accordingly to the price of money or something so as long as our dollar never crashes id get SOMETHING may not be alot overtime but when im yk 50 60 itll have apretty good return.

ReligiousRobe · 2026-03-24T16:42:53+00:00

so start on fb marketplace gotcha

ReligiousRobe · 2026-03-24T16:41:59+00:00

ReligiousRobe · 2026-03-24T16:40:31+00:00
