If you know how to turn a wrench, and really good at diagnostics. As in better then the dealer techs at diagnostics. You can make some money. That's the key though. You have to really know your stuff. Can you recharge a/c, repaint a fender, replace parts in the transmission, ect, ect, ect? A lot of times just to pull a profit, you will be using salvage yard parts.
I've made some money on the craigslist. Have to be lucky finding the deals, not chasing the deals. Many times I have replaced a thermostat, and sold the car the next day. Other times it has taken 2-3 months just to break even. They're easier ways to make money...

On the other hand I know a few people who buy 2-3 year old cars from the insurance auction sites just to have a new DD "not re-sale".
