I’m a car expert – how I turned £150 into £12,000 by flipping just 8 motors
A CAR expert turned £150 into £12,000 by flipping eight different motors.
Johnny took to social media to show his followers how he managed to make a tidy profit by flipping a string of second-hand cars.
The video – posted on his JohnnyGetsCash channel – sees the pro improve the condition of eight different cars before selling or swapping them on.
He hopes to eventually “flip his way to a super car”.
In the clip – highlighting the first part of his mission – Johnny buys a used Toyota Rava for £150 and then spent hours gutting the car.
After a spray wash and other repairs the car was sold on for £1,300.
