With respect to foggy, who has probably bought 100+ cars from Capital over the years, I’ve changed to the title to

How to buy a $2500 Volvo ( and 33.7% of the time get a parts car)

Capital is not a place where you drive away for $100, or even $1000

My strategy is to look for the 100,000 mile decent body and interiors that I can make a decent runner for someone, if I add up time and materials spent, there is no profit to be made.

My sample size is only 2 3

Shipping from DC location to NC use to be $299 a couple of years ago and now it's around $450. That eats into the overall cost for sure. The other locations are around $600 and $1000 to NC.
