TikTok user @ryans_salvage initially bought a Vauxhall Zafira for only £800, but paid an extra £50 to get it recovered.

He had to order a few extra parts to help repair it, such as a new clutch cylinder that cost him £40, oil and brake fluid for £60 and exhaust spray at £4.

The poster revealed that he paid one of his friends £350 to do a lot of the labour, including fitting a new head to the engine.

His friend also fixed the brakes, which cost him £40, while the stereo and horn also needed attention.

In the video, the poster claims that he had to spend £14 on insurance, £43 on road tax, and £40 on the MOT.

But, he ended up selling the car for a whopping £3,500, making a nice profit of £2,035.

Ryan is a successful car flipper who has sold dozens of cars over the last few months.

He uploads videos showing how he repairs the cars and sells them in just a matter of days.

The Zafira video has gone viral on social media with more than 57,200 views and 71 comments.

And most users were blown away after discovering the tidy sum he made after selling the second-hand Vauxhall.

One said: “3.5k for a Zafira, well-played flipper guy…well played.”

Another said: “That’s really good!”

A third pointed out: “Luckily, that worked in your favour with the profit. £800 buying a Zafira is way too much.”

The poster answered: “Would pay half that, but this was 2014 can get cheaper but on a 06 plate or something.”

This comes after a motoring expert made over £1,400 profit by flipping a car online.
