TikTok user @ryans_salvage bought a Corsa for £200, but the engine wasn’t working, and the bodywork was in bad condition.

The poster revealed that he had to pay £30 to recover it and £170 for a new engine.

Days later, a mechanic installed the new engine for only £130.

The man claims he bought another Corsa for just £80 to use it for parts.

He explained: “I bought a new bumper and bonnet for £60, the previous owner had paid for a new door, but I swapped them over for free and changed the discs and pads on it.”

The man then listed the second-hand car on Facebook for £1,495 but ended up selling it for £1,200 – making a £705 profit in just a week.

The video has gone viral on social media, with more than 398,000 views on TikTok.

Users were blown away after discovering the big profit he made after selling this second-hand car.

One said: “Smashed it.”

Another asked: “Where did you buy another Corsa for £80 for parts?”

The poster answered: “A girl in my college class, lol, was supposed to be £150 but ended up taking it for £80 in the end.”

A third pointed out: “I feel bad for the person who spent £1,200.”

This comes after a motors expert made more than £1,000 profit by flipping a used car on Facebook Market place – and it only took him a few days.

Plus, another expert claims that he made more than £5,500 profit by flipping a luxury car on eBay – and it only took him 24 hours.
