really depends on your skills. i've been doing this with cars for years. i just turned 30, and ive owned over 30 cars. Jags are hard to make any money on. people are hesitant to buy them. (i had a cherry XJR that i was able to make a little money on last year...but not much.)

each state has different laws. where im from, i was able to sell 3 cars per year without being considered a dealer. whether or not you title it in your name is up to you and your local laws.

right now im selling a karmann ghia. i bought it from an old man, and replaced the pans on it, and did a basic clean up, buff, polish, etc. did the routine mx stuff on it, too.

searching craigslist seems ok...although everybody seems to think their cars are worth a lot of money. i drive around out in the desert and find cars. lots of the shanty towns have crappy houses with old cars behind them. some of the people need money....easy way to pick up a car cheap when you have cash.

just last week i found a Ferrari 308 GT4 literally just sitting out in the desert behind a crappy house. i havent stopped by to talk to the guy...but i guarantee i would not make money on that car!
