Copart Salvage 04 Mitsubishi Outlander Win $850

[@iliaslamari7315]

*Used SUV are insanely popular and because of that, it may be a good idea to fix it and make it look decent.* A small family would love this outlander for sure. But the Maaco $299 paint job costs more than $299. They charge some stupid extra fees and no tax included. You have to prep it good, take some parts of and mask it because otherwise, you will get overspray everywhere. Try to rent a Carpet cleaner on the seats first before hiring a detailer. Should bring high $2000 on a good day.

[@Inventive_Chimp]

@@jetjazz05 Same here in Tennessee, 4500-5000 all day long. I grew up in Oklahoma, so I know you wouldn't get that much there sadly. WIth paint 3000 is probably right on. I love this channel glad I stumbled on to it!

[@mikewiebers8814]

I would ask if the current paint is better than a cheap respray and if so fix suspension and windshield, and make a little profit and give a family a good suv.

[@andrewlaw]

Invest in a wet/dry vacuum with detergent spray and do your own detailing. The carpet and seats will come up really well with a bit of tlc.

[@shanemc5136]

[@francoa.9646]

[@jeffhulsey989]

I'd just take the seats and carpet out and pressure wash them then hang them out to dry. It makes a world of difference.

[@alanlozano6535]

yeah, that is quicker, i do prefer use amoniac and water at 50 50 with that wet & dry vacuum, it's a whole difference

[@q135980]

Spray just the hood, and rear bumper, then buff the rest with Meguiars M105 and a orange foam pad, along with a rotary buffer all from harbor freight! I think most of the paint is savable, it just needs a nice buff. Then wet sand the headlights with 800 grit going up to 5000k grit, then buff the headlights to finish with the same Meguiars M105 and the orange pad with a rotary. The seats can be easily cleaned with some Super Clean or Purple Power diluted 8:1 with water in a spray bottle and a soft brush, then you just vacuum the seats dry with a shop vac. I think it's worth the effort for the increased curb appeal! It's a solid runner💯💯

Fix the upper ctrl arm and keep in mind the rear camber adjustment for these vehicles is the lower ctrl arm's inboard bolt. These engines are quite sturdy (it is in fact a 4g69; within the 4g6x family of engines, whose most notorious engine is the 4g63 found in the lancer evolution). It has a timing belt and common maintenance includes adjusting valve lash every 30k miles or so. Good vehicle!

I've been wheelin' and dealin' on stuff for 60 years. That's a good reseller looks aside. Think this way, you spend $300 (plus) on paint, another $200 on a windshield, and a$100 on a C C , and $150 fixing left rear Axel. That's $750 and most of it is in looks. With $1850, ( $1150 purchase price) in it PLUS labor, all the little chump change things that go into it, and the time it sits on the lot tying up your cash, you have to hustle it for around $2500 just to break even. And you can't stay in business breaking even. Purchase price plus rear wheel , C C, and that's it. Here's where Red Beard works. There are a lot of folks that when he tells them the choice was to make it look pretty, or make it back into a reliable and safe ride, they will go with safety. They can always do the pretty part a little at a time, later on, (beauty is only skin deep, ugly hides in the bones.) and not paying for the upgrades now means they can even DIY some of it. (He could even point them to some good YT channels.) With a used C C , you're in it for less than $1400 cash. Mark it at $2195, rebate the windshield, (which they will have to see every day), and take $2000. That's $600 profit, and a customer that feels you treated them right, and will tell friends and family. Quick in and out so the shop isn't working for free, and you're on to the next deal. Two pluses here. Your conscience is clear that the C C didn't cause a fire and this is a reliable ride for mom and kids, daily driver to work, or for a collage kid's transportation. And you made a profit on a high buy. My $.02 worth. Rock on!

@@mexicanspec Sure, he will profit there. But a sustainable business can't rely on such an uncertain source. YT has a habit of doing some impulsive demonetizing without warning. And actually, it's really a second job, what with the editing time, research, so on. I'm of the opinion that the channel is a separate branch of the enterprise.( If you count it as part of the business, then add in the effort in hours involved, and cost of everything from office supplies to video equipment. To my mind, that changes very little in the overall perspective. And nobody stays a YTer forever.) But, we can agree to disagree. I too would like to watch the process. Still, I stand by my plan as the most likely to ensure a reasonable quick profit. Peace.

Checking in again on here. It has a new windshield now. It has 208k miles.

And it's still solid.

[@bigcrowfly]

It is a 15 year old car, paint does not matter. This year tax refunds are running less than in prior years, so people are looking for cheaper cars like this and cannot afford to splurge for the paint. The paint job will delay it past the tax season and will price it against more expensive cars. Just get the glass, suspension, tire and A/C fixed and put it on WB's lot asap.

Since the body looks pretty straight, the Maaco idea is a good one, as long as you do all the prepwork yourself. Remove the lights, taillights, emblems, etc., tape it off, and trailer it to the paintshop. Even though this isn't a popular one, SUV's are easy sales. After paint & new windshield I'd ask maybe 2850 if it were mine.

I think you should fix the wheel/ suspension problem, replace windshield, and do a simple rattle can spray and clear on the hood. The rest of the paint does not look all that bad. Fenders and other small spots where the clear is flaking can be wet sanded and buffed. There’s not much profit to be made here, so do things to maximize it.

[@LuizLeonel]

the name rebuilds is for a reason ! Take the paint job and get all done !

[@recordsgeek]

If it were my flip here's what I think I would do: $299 Maaco paint job, professional detail (about $100), new windshield (about $210 from Safelite), repair the control arm ($50?), then new tires all around (cheapest available from Walmart, NTB, etc. would be about $210/set). That would put you all in for about $2019. List it for about $3500 and come down to only $2800 or so to end up with about $750 profit. The new paint job and tires will add a lot of value to the buyer because it looks good, runs good, and they know they won't have to replace tires any time soon. Of course a fresh oil change, fluid top off, and new filters and you're gold and will probably have some good referrals from the buyer.

Take the seats and the carpet out and power wash them let them dry in the hot sun and the car will be fine you'll need to scrub them down with some era liquid era and let it soak in and then power wash them then put some Downy Fabric Softener in a bucket and scrub them down with that lightly rinse with a garden hose let them dry in the sun all done look good smell good

[@Steelman0355]

Compound the paint over the entire car, paint the hood blending into the tops of the fenders with single stage paint, wax it and let it roll. Replace the windshield and change the control arm as well. You still don't know the issues with the A/C though. May take a charge and a can of stop leak if your lucky. Ask $2300 and get $2100.
