Everybody knows about the lucrativeness of the business. The only odds here is how to start. The fact that it is a capital intensive business is what is driven some people away. They believed that you must have huge amounts of money before you could start. Little did they knew that, you could start the business without your own money.
I believe with half a million or 600k, one can start the business. You just buy one car at a time and fix it. You only buy another one after you sold out the previous one while building your capital base.

The major advantage of this type of business is that you would make huge profit from it.

The business requires a lot of money and technical know-how. If you do not have
technical know-how of how to repair cars you will have to spend more money by hiring car mechanics.

This is indeed a lucrative business. But you need to have skills in car repair. I think other than buying and selling broken down cars and get them repaired for resale, there are businesses selling second hand cars. Those cars just need some minor fix and polishing. You don't need to spend a lot on repairing the cars but can sell them at a good price.
This is no doubt a very lucrative business, but one needs to properly acquire the skills and learn the hacks of the trade very well, in order to successfully venture into this nature of business and get profit.

Learning the necessary skills required before going into a business is necessary. That is why I usually advise people to go through mentorship before venturing into a business.

For me this business may be very profitable as the prices of the cars could be affordable to most people. So it's quite great business though a capital intensive one.

Such cars are usually very much affordable and making a lot of money from such a business is for sure but of course you must invest a whole lot of money.

You don't necessarily need to have skill on how to repair vehicles before you can engage in this kind of business. You can refer repairmen of damaged vehicles to auto technicians whom you would paid for their services.

Buying damaged cars to repair and resell is a very profitable business. Because damaged cars can usually be bought at very cheap prices, as long as we know the engine, and can estimate the costs incurred to repair it. Then we can get a fairly high profit from this business.

Most people I know doing this business don't even mind selling their personal cars as far as there is a profit. They know they can always get another one relatively easier.

First thing that you need in this business is a trusted mechanic who is very sound. If you can find that, then you are good to go with the business.

If you even have the skill of a mechanic to do the car repairs yourself, I believe that is even going to be better because you will make sure that everything works very well before you sell the vehicle. You will even save cost of paying another mechanic to do the job.

Yes, being a mechanic has an advantage in the business. It would enable you to safe cost of repairment. There are some of the parts you would managed to repair. And your colleagues in panel beating and rewiring would assist you in their fields as well.

That's true, but you need more money if you do not have the skills. If you have the skill you may not need a lot of money to get started.

Buying and selling cars is a huge business opportunities for those who have money. If you recondition cars before selling you can also get better offers
