Default Re: My Crossfire rebuild.

Well, just to clear the air, these cars are not going up for sell until I get to put some miles on them. I got them to drive, not to shove out onto a lot with a price tag.
Second of all, I have rebuilt other salvage vehicles, and I have divulged all of the build history, pictures, etc..., because I'm not ashamed to sell a rebuilt vehicle. I'm very proud of the work I do, and I enjoy showing the possibilties. I have actually never met another person who would SHOW what was done as far as repairs. They would just tell teh buyer "It needed a new fender and bumper..." or so on and so on, never mentioning that the whole subframe had been replaced or pulled 10 inches and a whole new suspension setup. The truth is, in our recent economy, it is a booming business to purchase these "totaled" vehicles and sell them at a decent price. It IS up to the buyer to be able to verify the quality of repairs before purchasing a salvage title vehicle, and since most do not have a clue as to what to look for, that's a good selling point to actually document all of the repairs so you can educate them and show them what and how it was done. Alot of people cannot afford a brand new or even slightly used 2010 vehicle, but when I can pick one up with very low miles and slight damage from auctiona dn rebuild it and sell it at a lower price, while still earning profit for all of my invested time and money, then we both can be happy.
I am not in the car business. I may sell one to three vehicles a year. My business is Hot Rods and custom cars. I build and modify other peoples cars. I'm happier that way.
