I buy and sell a lot. It's a hobby that pays for itself, and I usually make a little change. Last ride was an '08 F150, one owner, with 150k. Traded the '85 Vette (also one owner with 80k) I bought for $4k in July. Only had the Vette a month. Sold the truck for $5500 three weeks after I got it. Made $1500 for driving it three weeks. If I sell this one I'll make at least a grand off of it.
I started the year with a Pathfinder, a Quest, and an '01 I30. This is the ninth one I bought this year. Sold seven, traded two, and still have the QX4 I bought in Feb and the I30 I bought Nov last year plus the Maxima.
I get to own and drive a lot of really nice cars, some pretty new, some old. I've had fourteen Camaros, six Vettes, five Firebirds, a few Novas and Mustangs, lots of luxury cars and compacts, and a few trucks. Older ones are easier and cheaper to work on. The ones I like I keep and drive a while. The '97 Tbird I sold last September I had almost five years. It turned 74k miles a few weeks before I let it go.
Best part is I haven't had a car payment since 1995.
