racefan, i guess i would side with the "anti-flippers" on this one. making a profit on a car doesn't bother me. (in my eyes) the thing that makes me look at this situation differently is that a "flipper" doesn't have his heart and soul into the car that he is "flipping". i have owned my Road Runner for 11 years and my SC for 3 now. i never desired the Road Runner but now it defines me. now i wouldn't even trade it straight up for my dream car (69 yenko Nova). i'm guessing "flippers" are willing to trade THAT car for there dream car. people i know who look at "flippers" kind of have that same opinion as me. there car defines them and they wouldn't even trade it for there dream car. one week there cuda is at the car show next to your cuda and there talking about how this car is "everything they ever wanted" and 2 months later there in a chevelle and you ask, "wheres the cuda", they reply, "i got bored with it". and no, i have never sold a car and made money.

I agree with you SC. I feel as you do personally. I have not done the "trading up" thing because I have a problem with attachment to material things. Now, my brother feels totally different. His philosophy is "yea, I like it alot--but everything I have is for sale".

boys it's all about ethics...they will only bring what the market will bear whether it be slinkys or cars...bottom line when you sell disclose all the good and bad and life just works smooth...problem is when you pass off a tird at a nice car price...
I have done my fair share of selling and fact is I would not have what I have if I just went to work everyday and came home and tried to make do with what the check brought into the household... most people I have met personally like face to face and have a problem with people reselling items are generally lazy sob's and just feel sorry for themselves or the world owes them something or something along those lines...this is a great country and if your willing to keep your head down and work you can get r done!!! say what ya want about people that flip cars fact is everyone you come in contact with everyday is a flipper, coffee chick, gas station, your boss..if you dont like the price go down the street and go into the next store and shop around.... ![]() |

People flipping cars is not going to go away. It may be their livelihood or a way to earn extra cash. There is good and bad with everything. If we don't think a car is worth what is being asked for it..we just don't buy it.
