HOW I TURNED £150 INTO £31,000 BY FLIPPING 14 USED CARS

[@recreativesigns4571]

Flipping cars, flipping heck. That’s some achievement. Those profits soon mount up to a substantial amount of funds going into the 15th car which I can’t wait to see what you get.

[@JohnnyGetsCash]

Lots more to come soon! The quest for a supercar continues!

[@thebillybonney]

That Hi-Lux! Wow! It might not seem so to most, but that's my dream car in the style that you have done. Amazing job on all the vehicles and a really entertaining video.

[@JohnnyGetsCash]

@@thebillybonney I think a lot of people would agree with you! Old Toyota’s (especially ones that have been refreshed and are ready to tackle any terrain), are timelessly cool!

Was not expecting the Rover! Great compilation, so many hours must have gone into this! Great work.

[@floyd_v10]

Great video, my favourite series on KZbin! Really enjoyed this as missed some of the earlier cars. Keep it up man!

[@JohnnyGetsCash]

@@floyd_v10 That’s great to hear! Lots more to come still! Thanks a lot!

Great video..i have followed the series from the beginning..you are a very talented man at your craft, your bodywork, paintwork and detailing are excellent..people often rush through this part with poor results..you are also master of the long game, slow and steady..making gains each time.. too many people try to make a big killing on cars and then lose on the next one..keep up the good work..👍

[@JohnnyGetsCash]

Thank you, and thanks for being a long term subscriber! Lots more status to come within Chop To The Top (and the channel as a whole), so I hope you continue to enjoy!

[@andyh1917]

Hi Johnny a great recap of the cars featured on chop to the top & how you have got to the budget you have now. Really enjoy this series & cannot wait to see the supercar it will end with but also what car will be next for the series going forward. This was why I subscribed in the beginning to your channel & been here since watching all your content. I've also back tracked to the videos I missed before. I have learnt a lot from you & my cars have benefited from that. Appreciate the tips & tricks you have passed on so far..I look forward to the next vlog. All the best 👍🏻

A very very impressive effort so far, just goes to show what hard work and dedication can achieve. I can't wait to see where this process takes you. Very best of luck, going forward, you certainly deserve it, I notice you have had a couple of copy cats, where are they now I wonder ?

[@JohnnyGetsCash]

@@assettrader1587 Thank you! Yes it’s funny…a lot of others have started doing their own ‘trading up’ series but they all seem to flounder after car 1 or 2 and the process is swept under the rug 😂 I can’t say that in blame them though, this process is anything but easy!

Top work mate 👏

[@daz271]

I'd be interested to know how much time you spent on each car as well. I like working on my own cars and save money on servicing but you have a lot more equipment and I think it might not always be a winner because of the amount of labour involved. Interested to know. Awesome video thanks.

[@nigelangel6659]

Love watching your videos, as it’s very addictive viewing and so interesting how you go about repairing and moving them on. But where do you source all your cars ?

[@JohnnyGetsCash]

I’m glad you’re enjoying them! I buy from a variety of sources. Sometimes auction, sometimes through my own wanted ads, sometimes eBay etc & sometimes when people offer them to me directly 👍

[@godspeed6315]

Hey Jonathan great compilation mate! Iv seen most of your videos but the highlights for me were the rav4, landcruiser, hilux , landy and the c43 amg quite therapeutic and the fact your talents are amazing .. wish you all the success , which town are you based in ?😊

[@sociaaljessie5431]

Hi mate, great job on bringing all them cars to showroom spec, professional approach and tools. I’m just puzzled about ur costs as take for example the Nissan, u sprayed it pretty much on both ends, dynoed it and did some electrics and full details. How does that total 130£??? I understand that u do all of the steps urself but it looks like a 500 or more fix. Or am I missing something?

[@JohnnyGetsCash]

Thanks very much. For full details of all of the cars featured in this video, check out my series ‘Chop To The Top’. Each car has its own episode which outlines all of the expenses in detail 👍

[@filipwennergren2712]

You have worked hard!!!

[@asandmanrider-7941]

May i kindly ask roughly how long it took for all 14 cars to be bought, repaired and sold? Btw i absolutely love the dog

[@DroitwichValetingServiceCarCle]

Loved this 🖤

[@westhereseller2438]

According to series 1 of chop to the top, your costs were higher than what you have put on here for your first car!

[@JohnnyGetsCash]

Figures stated in EP1 of Chop To The Top (Rav4): Purchase price: £150, spent on car: £474, sold for: £1,300. Figures stated in this video for the Rav4: Purchase price: £150. spent on car: £474, sold for £1,300 Where is the difference?

[@dwayneburton7956]

Love the journey! How do you flat the lacquer peel and not go through the base coat, Every time I try I go through the base!

[@JohnnyGetsCash]

It does take a lot of practice but sometimes that can happen unfortunately. If that does happen, the only option is a repaint of base and clear (hopefully a smart repair can be blended in place)

[@benduke4454]

Really good work and satisfying to watch. So how about tax and insurance? How did you deal with that? And what were the costs involved?

[@JohnnyGetsCash]

@@benduke4454 I am a motor trader so I have trade plates (for road tax purposes) and trade insurance. This process of trading up (which is my KZbin series ‘Chop To The Top’), is done on the side so between my day to day motor trade activities, so all the cars within this series are covered by my business insurance, trade plates etc. With regards to tax (income tax), all of the profits made here and throughout my main business are declared on my yearly return 👍

[@benduke4454]

@@JohnnyGetsCash any advice on this for someone who wants to do it on the side but is not a trader?

[@JohnnyGetsCash]

@@benduke4454 I could give a very long list that would probably be a good guide for a start-up, but if I could only give a very quick piece of advice it’d be to try and be the opposite to the traditional image of a car dealer. Sell good cars, don’t cut corners, be honest and the rest will follow. Obviously it is imperative to keep an eye on costs / profits too, but remember that a properly prepared car will always fetch proper money to the right buyer 👍

[@stephenbond6731]

Are these all bought privately or from auctions to then flip? Would be good to know what history and paperwork you had for them too

[@JohnnyGetsCash]

@@stephenbond6731 it’s a mixture. Most of the cars seem here were purchased in auction but some were bought privately. All came with correct paperwork and varying levels of service history (which I invariably add to)

[@stephenbond6731]

@JohnnyGetsCash thanks for the reply. Only just found the channel so will enjoy it from the start. Great work 👍🏼

[@stephencarey3589]

Good work, hate the lines in the carpets though, why do people do it it looks naff

[@JohnnyGetsCash]

It’s kind of an old school detailers signature I guess. I tend to do it on deeper pile carpets as I feel it shows the car has been finished with attention to detail!

[@Klingon2468]

I still think my favorite car out of all f them has to be the white Range Rover.

[@JohnnyGetsCash]

That was a lovely piece for sure…at the time I still had my supercharged 5.0 AB sport (seen in the background) and I was tempted to keep the diesel sport as a more ‘daily’ option…but when profit calls - I always answer!!

[@GleamR.]

Where do you be finding the cars? I look everywhere and can’t find nothing

[@JohnnyGetsCash]

I buy from a variety of sources - auction, private sales, cars get offered to me directly as a known trader, but either way it’s a case of looking for stock all the time!

[@smarttech-h5f]

Where do you sell these cars and how???

[@JohnnyGetsCash]

I advertise on a mixture of platforms. EBay, marketplace and auto trader mostly. How do I sell them? Honestly I like to think that my cars sell themselves! A decent, well prepared vehicle will speak for itself!

[@lennygize]

Johnny love your videos and no doubt you work hard to get these cars back to showroom condition, but some of these figures dont sound right. 10k for 2006 land cruiser? And then sell it for nearly double that. Here in ireland the most expensive one on the market was a 2007 for 12k. And the daihatsu profit was a bit of a stretch to. Not putting down your work at all mate, its just the figures i have a hard time believing.

[@JohnnyGetsCash]

No problem - it’s absolutely right to question what you see on KZbin (as there is a lot of BS out there) but I can assure you that all of the figures I state in this and any of my videos are absolutely honest. I’m sure some of the more regular viewers of my channel will be able to attest to this as more often than not, viewers check the auction results of where I buy cars and can see what I paid, then they will also see my for sale ads and what i ask for my cars. I’ve made several videos referencing how I buy and sell cars and I always create content that’s as transparent as possible (because I don’t see the point in pulling the wool). In response to your comment on the Land Cruiser, it sounds as if you have some cheap cars over there! Similar age/ mileage / spec land cruisers here are still all £15k plus (although my Amazon was totally sorted in every way with no faults and ready to go), also remember that prices fluctuate between when my videos go live and when people can watch them, but overall the prices shown here are still correct. I hope that clarifies things a bit, but please feel free to check out some of my other content and get a feel for how I do things!
