I made more than £900 profit flipping a car on Facebook – it only took me a few days… here’s how I did it
A MOTORS expert has revealed he made more than £900 by flipping a car on Facebook Marketplace.
The man took to social media to show users the tidy profit he made after selling a second-hand Ford Fiesta.
TikTok user @nikolayzd bought a Fiesta, with 8,326 miles on the clock, on Facebook Marketplace for £1,000 – and immediately took it to a local car wash to get it cleaned.
To make the car look even better, he fixed some little scratches on the bodywork with a repair spray.
In a few days, the poster made more than £938 after accepting a bid of £1,999 on Facebook Marketplace.
The car expert revealed that he spent £17 on the insurance, £20 on fuel and £4 on the car wash.
The video has gone viral on social media with 152,600 views – and 82 comments.
And most users were blown away after discovering the profit he made in a few days.
One said: “How come, every time sold it for the full asking price.”
The poster replied: “I’m not taking any offers. Simple as that.”
Another user said: “Awesome flip.”
A third pointed out: “You did well to get that for it considering the mileage.”
This comes after a thrifty Facebook Marketplace user told how he bought a car for £500 – and sold it for £850.
