If you can buy right there is money to be made.

Having worked at small used car dealerships for over 10 years, now on my own and still detailing their vehicles, it is not unheard of making $5000 off a silk pigs ear.

One example from a couple weeks ago. Black '06 Chev crew cab 2500 diesel, was a work truck and will probably be sold as a work truck. Went through safety check no problem, my bill for reconditioning was over $400.

Their mark up is probably over $4000.
