Never pay retail price for cars again! Buy Fixer-uppers!

Fixer-upers are great but you have to buy smart. Do your homework. Check out the vehicle's history report. Obviosly it's going to say that is has been in a wreck. Look for things like more then one accident. How many owners the car had. Two to three for a 5 + year old car is ok. One to two on younger cars.

Have the car inspected by a reputable mechanic and a bodyshop.

You can expect to save from $1000 to $30,000 and more. Yes, even a 2004 Ferarri Modena can be purchased for tens of thousands of dollars less.

That's one way to go.

The second way is to buy a wreck and fix it up. Just like you've heard about homes, you buy, fix it up and sell. Only you don't sell but keep.

If you can't fix it yourself, find a body man and a mechanic you can trust.

Here is a list of places you can buy a wrecked vehicle:

Once you buy it, you will need to fix it. Read the "how to" here.
