I’m a car expert – I bought a damaged car, repaired it and made £1,500 in days
A MOTORS expert has revealed he made more than £1,500 by repairing a damaged car and selling it online.
The man bought the car relatively cheaply as it had quite severe damage to the passenger door – then took to social media to show users how he earned the big bucks by repairing it and selling it on in just a few days.
TikTok user @cartradeuk1 bought a (Cat S) Nissan Juke for £4,950 and was able to repair the damaged door for £600.
A Cat S car is one that has sustained structural damage, but is deemed to be repairable.
In just five days, he managed to sell the car for a whopping £7,000.
However, he says that it wasn’t an easy job, but it was worth it.
The TikTok user @cartradeuk1 is a car expert, aiming to flip 1,000 cars to make some extra cash.

But users think he paid too much money for the damaged car.
One said: “You paid too much for that car.”
Another said: “Out of every car, you decided to save the ugliest one??”
He replied: “Hahahahaha, every car deserves a chance.”
A third pointed out: “Never been worth £7000 on a Cat S even in the current climate.”
This comes after a thrifty Facebook Marketplace seller told how he bought a car for £550 – and sold it ten hours later for three times the price.
Plus, a man claims he bought a second-hand car on Facebook Marketplace and made more than £600 profit in 24 hours.
