Ignorant College Student--Need Advice!

These cars are not one to invest in. To own one you need to really love it because it will make you happy but not make you money.

This, if you want to make money, buy something like a mid 90's to early '00 Japanese car off craigslist with a blown head gasket and worn out struts for $500 fix and sell it for $2500, to recoup the money pit you just purchased for an inflated price.

Don't blow your college wad on this, it can happen in a blink of an eye. Fix it later when you start working, have at it.

Flipping is for those that know the markets and the product. If you are not sure of either, you should be better served by keeping the cash in your pocket and trying a little Wheeler Dealer flip with modern cars. Stuff that's much easier and cheaper to repair and add resale value.

Damn straight; been there, done that!
