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

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.

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.

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..👍

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!

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 👍🏻

[@thebeardedtraveler3055]

An awful lot of work put into each car and the results really show it. Great content mate 👍🏻. Although, to those who have watched this and think "Omg I'm quitting my job an gonna start flipping cars.." what this creator hasn't included in his profit sums is :- VAT @20% of the difference between purchase and sale price, rent, utilities, business rates, corporation tax, income tax, employer and employees national insurance, pension (presuming he's a Ltd company of course), fuel or delivery fees to collect the vehicles, advertising... Etc... Etc.. Of course this doesn't take away the amazing talent this guy has. Just worth bearing in mind...

[@vdzedits4387]

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.

[@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 👍

No taxes if these were private sales. I guess he isn't operating as a dealer

[@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 👍

[@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!
