Another factor in buying "birds with broken wings" is that you often do not get to test drive them and sometimes not even get to start them. You roll the dice on the condition of other components. Still, there can be $$ to be made. My recommendation is to focus on cars in nice cosmetic condition with lower than average miles. Most of us can do our own mechanical work but not body work or paint.

Good points Speeder
Obviously making this a business is not my goal, just some extra cash
I would not look for cars that need cosmetic work, I'm thinking more just the tune ups, oil leaks, brake work, that kind of thing
