    Flipping This $2500 Lexus GX470 For Profit $$$ Side Hustle! Disgusting Car Detailing Restoration. Today, I have for you a Lexus GX470 (similar to the gx460 & toyota land cruiser) that I purchased for $2500 in this exact condition. I am going to show you how I flipped this car for profit just by detailing the interior of this vehicle, clearing the headlights and making minor repairs/improvements to this amazing machine. At the end I break down the costs and the net profit of this car flip. If you are interested in how to flip cars for profit, leave me a comment or shoot me an email with any questions you may have.

He attempted to clean it himself but vomited a few times 😂 It’s extremely rare, my father works in the plaster industry and is alway in wealthy areas doing work and it seems that’s were you can sometimes find good deals!

      How do you like yours? Thinking about getting a really used one and keeping it. I know the gas mileage is really bad but how do you approach that vs an SUV with better mpg's?

    • @fashionphotographer7
      @fashionphotographer7 Před rokem +1

      @PeakVibe TV howdy. Gas mileage is bad, but you don't go to big V8 SUVs for good gas mileage. Like any vehicle there are things you have to eventually fix, but I got it specifically for the 2UZFE engine. I would like to eventually get a smaller daily driver for gas mileage sake but will keep my GX forever. When a regional manager at Lexus tells you that they regret every day of their life without their GX470, then that's a sign. Good luck with your search. I have a few tips on buying if you ever need help. GX470 people are family and take care of each other.

Either way, I love the videos, I just need to stop playing and get an starter bundle at least, also loving that variety of content you have started to put out for the past 3-4 years I have been watching, the flipping is an nice touch, huge reminder to an detailer that needs another outlet but also sell an package called the sale booster lol keep on being the best.
