what is going on today everybody it's Buddy and in this video I'm going to show you guys how I took this absolutely filthy poor running banged up Jeep and turned it into thousands of dollars in profit now if you're new to the channel my name is Buddy and I buy and sell cars for a living full-time and I'm about to show you guys the entire process how I made thousands of dollars on this Jeep from how much I know I should buy it for how much I know I could sell it for how much money I had to put into it and ultimately how much profit I made so without further Ado let's jump right into the video now I was doing my nightly scrolling through autot Tempest looking for deals when this black Jeep caught my eye it wasn't so much the beauty of this Jeep that caught my eye but it was the price it was a 2017 Jeep Patriot 4x4 with just over 100,000 Mi and it was priced at only $5,500 I knew from that price something must have been up with this Jeep so I clicked on it and I checked out all the pictures this thing looks to be pretty dirty and from the looks of the front tires the previous owner had this thing Offroad at some point since there was almost like a stained light brown color on the tires you could also see the trim was either faded or really spotty or it was just all around caked on with dirt I couldn't really tell at this point now in terms of the paint I couldn't tell if it was in really rough shape or it was just filthy now the exterior was just something I had to see in person at this point now checking out the interior pictures I could also see this thing was nasty there was literally dirt all over the seat there was Caked Up dust all over the dashboard to the point I could even see on these poorly taken pictures and the door jams were covered in like dried up mud or something definitely been taken Offroad more than a few times so now let's check out the description 4x4 Jeep runs rough but still gets you from point A to B wheel noise believe it's suspension related but not sure don't have time to fix it so priced accordingly so let's break down this description a little bit 4x4 Jeep is a big selling point so let's be honest why would you buy a two- wheeel drive jeep that's just silly big selling point here now runs rough will still get you from point A to point B tells me nothing at all besides it has some mechanical issues I can drive a rough riding car from point A to B with major engine knocking completely blown head gasket so that doesn't tell me anything it's just that there's something obviously mechanically wrong with this Jeep that can't be hidden the seller claims to be a suspension issue causing the problem but I'd have to see for myself of course now the last thing on the description is don't have time to fix price accordingly that is a huge plus so in short they're essentially saying they have more money than they have time and they are done looking at this thing they want it off their driveway so the next thing I need to do was check out how much this thing would sell for a fixed up I put all the information here on autotempest.com for some comparisons to see what they are selling for I also cross reference it with a quick search here from kellybluebook.com the book value was way up at about $99,500 and that was also pretty consistent what I was seeing here on autot Tempest so right there I'm already seeing a $4,000 potential profit margin which is massive if I want to make a quick sale let's say $8,500 and that's still a healthy $3,000 profit margin obviously before parts and labor but that's also at the asking price of $5500 so the next thing to do was just message a seller and see if I could see this thing in person I shot him a message asking if it's still available and he responded Yes but may have someone coming tomorrow morning to look at it now at this point at 6:00 p.m. I really did not feel like leaving my house a slate but one thing you got to keep in mind is deals like this do not last long it's newly listed and if I wait till tomorrow then it could be gone in the morning so I didn't waste any time I didn't ask about the price I didn't ask about anything with the Jeep I strictly got the sellers info and address and I set out to see this thing in person to see if we can make a deal now while we're on the way to the sellers house I want to touch on a few things the first thing is if you want to find deals you should be scrolling through listings more often than you scroll on Tik Tok or Instagram make it a habit to open your phone periodically and just check out what's new out there don't be wasting your time looking at pointless 13-second videos of random things here on Facebook because you're going to miss out on some really good steals also when you do find potential deals like this Jeep you need to act fast good deals do not last long on Marketplace like at all the moment someone like me comes across something too good to be true I'm putting my shoes on and I'm going to see the thing in person and I'm bringing cash with me don't wait until later in the day or in the morning because best believe aell is not going to hold out for you when someone comes with cash they're going to take it and they're not going to put it on hold for you and as someone who sells on Marketplace I absolutely do not hold anything it's always first come first serve now another thing I want to talk about is a website earlier that I mentioned called autotempest.com they actually integrated their website into an app which makes looking for deals even easier so here's how I personally use the app to find deals here on Facebook marketplace now with autot temp's new app I can quickly search any make or model vehicle and get the results from all major car sites like cars.com true car carvana and more so let me show you here for example in the app I'll search Jeep for the make and Patriot for the model I'll keep the distance at about 500 miles and I'll type in my ZIP code now under advanced search I'll search all the years between 2016 and 2018 now you can see when I press search I get a bunch of different results and the cool part here is I can filter which site to pull cars from as you can see they pull from a bunch of sites like cars.com and carvana and then at the bottom here there are links to a few others like AutoTrader and car gurus so with one click you can also open up results for your search from those sites now my favorite part since I get most of my cars on Facebook Marketplace is that they also have a Facebook Marketplace button here so if I click this it will show me all the results here from Facebook marketplace now with autotest you can search large regions of the country at a time with just one click of a button here you can see the entire Southeast the South the Midwest and so on when I click here on the Southeast in the region that I'm at it'll show you every Jeep p Patriot within my parameters in the whole entire region and it does the exact same thing here for Craigslist you can show results from the whole us Central the whole Us East or the West also results from Alaska and Hawaii and Puerto Rico all with just one click of a button this app is the end all be all for car shopping so a huge shout out to autotempest.com for making my life easier by letting me search all major car sites in one place so after about 20 minutes of driving we finally arrived here at the sellers house so the first thing I noticed here about the Jeep is that the exterior was not only super dirty but it was also a bit hazy and covered with a lot of surface scratches you can even see when I wipe the dirt off and clean the area it still looks dirty that is that overlying Haze the body wasn't in terrible shape though there was no dents or dings which was very surprising and I'm confident I can get this thing pretty shiny again with a little bit of elbow grease there was a couple of deeper scratches but for the most part I'd be able to buff most of these scratches out now the next thing I noticed is that one of the roof racks had the Finish peeling off one was completely fine but this other one here on the side had some going on now another thing on the exterior here was the trim was pretty faded like I said earlier I couldn't tell with the pictures if it was fade or just dirty but there's some random white spots Jeeps have so much trim on them that you're bound to get some hazing even though this Jeep is pretty new being a 2017 now another thing about this exterior that was also surprising considering it's only in 2017 is that the headlights were super oxidized usually headlights take about 10 years to oxidize but these were super foggy now coming over here to the tires I was happy to see that the front tires were in really good shape but coming back here to the rear I noticed that there was some uneven wear here on the tires it looked like it had some life in some spots and then other spots were balding pretty bad and there's usually a Telltale sign of a suspension issue which was stated here in the ad now the last issue I found here with the exterior was when I took a quick peek under the Jeep for any rust I didn't find any rusts but what I did find was a sagging skid plate it looks like it's fixable as well it's not cracked or beat up so no big deal so now let's check out the interior and it goes without saying this interior was absolutely disgusting on almost every single surface the cup holders had Caked Up Gunk that was probably years old the door jams looked they had literally never been wiped down not once ever since this thing was sold off the dealership lot in 2017 you can also see here the amount of dust that was collected here on the steering column this thing has probably not been wiped down in literally years now taking a peek here in the trunk there was a crazy amount of animal hair in this carpeted cover and when I lifted up the cover I found some hay and casing from a rifle bullet also after exploring a little bit I found the bot of deer urine Hunters use this stuff to attract deer so that explains the rifle casing I'm not sure if there was a deer stuffed back here at one point or if this is dog hair but man this thing sure is nasty and stinks real bad now besides this thing being filthy there was no rips or tears in the seats there was no cracked Plastics on the dash missing buttons or anything like that the only thing wrong that I noticed besides this thing being filthy is that the dome light was gone no clue how a dome light goes missing but finding one and replacing it shouldn't be too big of an issue now since I'm done inspecting the interior and the exterior it's time to see what's wrong with this thing mechanically so I put the key in the ignition it started up beautifully but the first thing I noticed at a check engine light popped right on I knew exactly what it was as well because I felt the car vibrating just like a misfire so this is what it sounds like when a car truck has a clear misfire so I plugged in my scanner in the OBD port to read if there was any other codes besides misfire there was some misfire codes as expected but there was also a air fuel ratio in and balance code which could be caused by a misfire so I'm like 90% sure with a tuneup with new coils and plugs it'll fix all the codes here on this Jeep I also took it for a test drive around the neighborhood to see if I can find any more issues and I noticed it did have a slight humming noise coming from the back of the Jeep as I drove faster the noise seemed to get louder and louder it seemed to me like one or both of the rear wheel bearings were all worn out it could also be because the rear tires were also super bad but we'll do a little test here on the bearings later so I'm just going to assume that they are bad other than that it seemed to shift good the transmission seemed very smooth and everything else worked perfectly so now it's time to make an offer to the seller now as mentioned earlier the listing price for this Jeep was $5,500 and fixed up the Kelly Bluebook Value was around 8,500 to 9500 now this thing is in worse condition than I originally thought but with a $3 to $4,000 profit margin before repairs I think it's pretty reasonably priced here at the $5,500 but I also recall the listing saying that he did not have time to fix this thing up I knew he wanted it gone so I pretty much laid it out like this I told him not only the engine has issues but also has suspension issues and that's why it's riding rough I'm just going to keep it simple and offer $44,000 for the Jeep and I told him man that's all I really think it's worth he counted at 4250 and I pretended like I wasn't sure if it was worth that but honestly I was happy that he let me get it so low I shook his hand handed over the money and the jeep was officially mine so now I own this Jeep and it's time to get it home and get this thing all all fixed up now on the way home I want to explain something about negotiation I usually talk about how to buy a car for cheap but I never talk about selling the cars when you're done fixing them when someone like me comes around to buy a car I always have a number in mind of what I'm going to pay so for example this Jeep I was fully prepared to spend up to $5,000 after seeing it and giving it a full inspection but I tried my luck with a $4,000 lowball and got it for $4,250 now if this seller would have played hard ball I would have gave him more money for it don't be afraid to lowball when you're buying and also just as importantly do not be afraid to stand firm with your selling price when you're selling I have a lot of really good negotiation tips and scenarios for buying and selling in my other car flipping videos so go check those out if you haven't already now after about 20 minutes of driving we're back at the house it's time to get this thing all fixed up and ready for its new home I made a checklist as always for all the issues that we need to address before it sale ready and let's start with the mechanical issues and we're going to work on that misfire now real quick for all you guys who are not super mechanically inclined well how when an engine misfires is the engine is not igniting the gas inside the cylinder causing combustion engines need combustion in all the cylinders in order to run correctly now there's a few things that can cause a misfire but the most common thing is probably a bad spark plug so spark plugs actually make the spark to ignite the gas mixture inside the cylinder to make the engine go boom now also your ignition coil could be bad which is the part that hooks up to the spark plug to let it know the exact moment to spark or the wiring from the car's computer to the coil is bad now for a p03000 code it is a random misf fire and a P0304 for cylinder number four misfire but sometimes even just one cylinder missing can cause a random misfire code but since this thing probably had the original coils and spark plugs we're just going to replace everything we're going to start here by taking off the engine cover and then exposes the ignition coils that we're going to be removing first we got to unplug all the coils so we can remove them now after we got the nuts off we can pull each coil off and after the coils are out it gives us access to stick our spark plug socket down here and crack all the spark plugs loose then I took my magnet and I pulled all the spark plugs out and you can see these old spark plugs have seen better days so now we're going to drop the new spark plugs in and then we're going to tighten them all down nice and snug and then we're going to pop in our new ignition coils and shove them in the holes and last but not least we're going to retighten the coils down and plug everything back in now when I hop back in the Jeep and turned it on we officially have no more check engine light we can go ahead and we cross that off the list and move on to the next mechanical issue and that was that loud road noise now as I said earlier I suspected that the bearing could be shot out in the back of the Jeep so a way to check if the bearing is a thing that's causing an issue is to jack up the back of the vehicle and get the back wheels lifted off the ground now with the back wheels off the ground you can grab the wheel at the 12:00 position and the 6:00 position give it a good wiggle and see if there's any play if there is then it's most definitely a bad wheel bearing and you can see here there's a little bit of play when I'm wiggling this back wheel and it was actually the same here on the other side as well now another thing you can do you can give the wheel feel a good Spin and listen if it sounds rough when it spins now if you ignore that high pitch scraping noise you can hear a deep kind of rumbling [Laughter] [Music] noise that is the bearing that's gone back so it's time to swap both of these rear wheel bearings out so the first thing I had to do was take off the lug nuts so we can pull the wheel completely off and after the wheel was off we needed to pull off the brake caliper brake caliper is usually held on by four bolts so it wasn't that big of a deal you can see my friend here pulling off the brake caliper while I pull off the cotter pin that holds on the axle nut now with that removed we're able to pull off the axle nut and the axle nut essentially holds on the whole wheel and hub assembly so your tire doesn't go flying off the road then once we got that removed it was time to pull the brake rotor off this one was stuck on there pretty good so we gave it a few smacks here with the hammer and we're able to pop it right off then there's four bolts in the back that hold the Hub in place we pop those out and then we attached a slide hammer here to the hub and we started working it out after some smacks we got The Hub removed from the axle and now it's time to get this old hub bearing assembly off now these are not bolted on but they can pretty much well themselves onto the metal essentially what happens is the bearing gets so beat up it creates a lot of heat when you're driving and it almost welds the metal together so we beat the bearing like it owed us money and with a few more smacks we finally got it completely popped off now you can see the difference between the old and the new one these old ones were crunchy and it was causing all that nasty suspension noise so we slapped the new Hub in and then we just did everything backwards that we did to remove it and we have brand new hubs and bearings we did this for both rear wheels and the process was the exact same on both sides so let's cross off the bearing noise off the list and move on to getting the rear tires here for this thing but first let's start our money invested chart so we can keep track of how much money we have invested in this Jeep so we'll start with the actual price of the jeep was $4,250 the coil and spark plug assembly kit came out to about $100 when I purchased it online and then the two bearings were $60 each I also threw my friend $80 for helping me out for a few hours so we'll throw them in there as well so let's jump back here to the back tires so since the tires were already off from changing the bad wheel bearings I loaded them into my truck so I drove up the road to get some new tires for this thing and luckily the tire shop up the road for me had two used tires that were actually in pretty decent condition for only $40 a piece mounted and balanced they also had new tires which was an option for 120 each but honestly the front tires of the Jeep were in pretty good shape and most of your stopping power comes here from the front tires so in my opinion it wasn't worth spending triple on new tires now that I'm back home I popped the two new tires on the Jeep and took it for a ride around the block and with these brand new wheel bearings and these two back tires this thing rode so smooth the engine ran strong with the new coils and plugs and it was a super smooth ride and now with the tires cross off off the list we are completely done with all the mechanical issues we have a perfectly good running Jeep at this time but now it's full of cosmetic issues so let's start here with the interior and get this Jeep looking as as nice as it drives so the first thing here with the interior is to get that missing dome light found I searched for new ones online but they all came out to over $100 I searched for a used one on eBay so I actually found one with sunroof controllers on it for $58 it only took 2 or 3 days to come in and it had two wire connectors one is for the lights and the other one is for the sunroof of course I hooked up the existing wiring that was hanging out of the hole I plugged them in and I was even stoked that the bulbs that came with this thing worked perfectly as well so let's cross off the dome light and move on to the interior detail and man is this thing filthy not only is it filthy but it smelled terrible too this is the second dirtiest vehicle in my entire car flipping series besides that Honda Civic from episode 9 it's probably worth taking a look that Honda Civic was absolutely disgusting so let's start with the detail by removing the seats now seats are almost always fastened down with four nuts on each corner of the seat sometimes they're super hard to remove but with a big impact gun like I have it's easy work and after all four nuts removed if you have electric powered seats there's always a wire connector that you can pop out and now you officially have the seat outside the car now this thing is completely stripped it's time to throw away all the random garbage including that bullet casing and the bottle of deer urine and after I got all the trash cleared out it was time to take my shot back and I spent a good 20 minutes between me and my friend getting all the carpets vacuumed up now I do a real thorough job with this because now it's time to get these carpets clean now what I use to soak the carpet is a product by lithium Autocare called hyper Cleanse This is a super good stain remover and I absolutely love this company and I actually chose this company to be my official detail sponsor company and they give all my viewers 20% off everything on lithium autoc care.com definitely wor checking out this website they have amazing amazing detailing products so after the carpets were soaked in with the hyper cleanse I hit them with the drill brush to work the product into the carpets and once it was thoroughly worked in I took my carpet cleaner and I sucked out all that nasty loose dirt and grime up this entire process was definitely worth it cuz it took that gross smell out of the Jeep you can see how gross this stuff is being sucked up by the vacuum it is some nasty stuff now it was time to work on these seats and since they were already out of the Jeep it made it much easier for me to clean first I took a vacuum to them because there was a lot of stuff in all the crevices then I soaked the seats and Hyper cleanse and I worked on the product and all the little nooks and crannies in the leather and then I took a bowl of hot water and a brush and just a nice wipe down with a microfiber cloth and these leather seats were looking great again now that the seats and carpets are done it's time to detail all the plastic starting with the dash and coming down here to the cup hole ERS and everything I started with the hyper cleanse again and let it soak for a little bit and used a detail brush to loosen all the nasty stuff like the dried up drinks or whatever was in the center container and then I wiped it all out with a microfiber cloth and now once the jeep was completely clean and back together I finished it off with a product also by lithium called Inner Space this stuff leaves a nice semi gloss on all the Plastics and it gives it that really Fresh brand new car look it doesn't overshine like a lot of other products I've used and after everything was wiped down and looking brand brand new again I got some Jeep branded floor mats and I slapped them in the Jeep and all I got to say is this interior came such a long way it looks absolutely beautiful having a car detailed this nice is going to make it sell so much faster and you can see the before and after this thing is looking awesome and I'm super stoked with it so let's cross the interior detailing off the list we're officially done with all the mechanical issues and now we're also officially done with the interior so now it's time to work on that exterior and get it looking just as good as that interior but first let's jump back to our money invested chart and add a few things we have $80 for the used tires mounted and balanced $58 for the dome light and I did give my friend $100 for helping me detail this Jeep since it took us almost all night so let's get back to fixing up the exterior now and first thing we're going to do with this exterior was fix that sagging skid plate because we don't want this thing getting any more messed up than it already is now taking a closer look at it it seemed like it was actually completely fine someone must have changed the oil and just lost the bolts or something and instead of replacing the bolts they just used zip ties which didn't secure it all the way and it really didn't even make sense they were just being super lazy so I did some looking around my garage and I found a few bolts that had the same thread pattern and I slid up under the Jeep and cut off those janky zip ties holding it on then I straightened out the skid plate and screwed it down there was six bolts that were securing this three in the front three in the back and within 5 minutes I had the skid plate all back to how it should have been so let's cross the skid plate off the list and move on to the next thing on the exterior and that was that chipped roof for rack now roof racks are pretty easy to disassemble they're pretty much all the same this one had one small plastic cap that was easily removed with the screwdriver now after the cap was removed you get access to the bolts that hold the roof rack in place once you have those bolts removed the entire thing just simply lifts off the roof of the Jeep and then we are ready to paint it I sanded the chipped area to smooth out the edges and then I wiped it down with some rubbing alcohol to prep it for some paint now lucky for me I had some silver spray paint that I usually use for Rim touch-ups the silver I used was really close to the original color so I went ahead and just blasted the whole thing down with three thin coats to make sure it was all nice and uniform in color and when I res secured it not only did it look brand new but it also matched the other side almost perfectly you could not even tell the difference if you're looking at the Jeep so we can go ahead and cross off the roof rack off the list and move on to the next thing and that was to get these headlights restored now this can be quite the process but lucky for you guys if you are subscribed to my channel you're going to eventually watch my super detailed video on how to professionally restore your headlights I made a complete easy to follow video on the entire process I use to get the result like this you can see these two headlights compared to each other it's like a night and day difference and it really makes this Jeep look newer and also a lot better looking a lot better visibility on the road and just all around a nice selling point here for this Jeep I finished off the headlight restoration by using a product also by the company I talked about called lithium Autocare and there was a ceramic coating called ceram slam it is a super durable ceramic coating that will keep these headlights looking brand new and protected from the Sun for a long time to come now that we got these headlights looking new and shiny it's time to cross them off the list and we can move on to getting the scratches out of this thing and make the paint look amazing again now we have to start by washing it so this is probably overkill for most cars as you can just run it through a car wash and it would be fine but this thing had so much dried on mud caked on dirt the pollen was horrible I mean you can really see the paint the wheel wells and everything in this car was just super caked on so what I did is I just got all the heavy Crut off with a pressure washer I wiped everything down super clean with some spray on car wash and a microfiber Rag and then it was time to buff the paint I used a buffing pad drill attachment since I don't buff cars every day it's more than good enough for the occasional car buff now here what I'm going to do is I'm going to buff half the hood just to show you guys what a good buff will do to car paint most importantly you got to make sure the paint is completely clean before you do this or you can make the paint even worse than it already was now after a few minutes you can see the massive before and after difference the unpolished side is hazy it looks like it's still dirty even though it's perfectly clean and the polished side reflects the lights beautifully it makes almost like a mirrorlike shine now after a good bit of buffing and wiping and buffing and wiping you can see here the finished results between buffing the Jeep and restoring the headlights this thing is starting to look absolutely amazing it's got a brand new look to it and it's really starting to come together so let's cross off buffing off the list we are getting really close to being done with this Jeep now we have one more thing we got to do to finish this Jeep to make it completely come to life and that was get this trim restored now the easiest way and honestly the longest lasting way to get the trim looking brand new again is a product from lithium Autocare and they're called trim cubes these things what they do is they restore your trim super quick and it will last longer than any other product money can buy on the market I guarantee that because I've used them all essentially all you do is just make sure the surface is clean and then you just wipe it down here with the trim Cube it also works amazing to restore the look of your windshield wipers your trim bumpers and all the rubber seals on your side windows it makes everything black on the outside of your car come pretty much back to life and give it a brand new beautiful look and again it's 20% off everything on their website with promo code buddies diy2 I'll leave all their information in the link below now with all the trim and seals restored on the exterior of this car it's looking absolutely gorgeous the paint has a nice deep gloss black look to it the trim is a nice even dark color the scratches are all buffed out the headlights look literally brand new this thing is just an absolute pleasure to look at it has came such a long way since I picked up this poor neglected Jeep as you remember before the paint was all nasty it was dirty it was scratched up and now this thing is glistening so now that we got the interior looking sexy the mechanical issues all fixed up and the exterior looking brand new it's time to list this bad boy for sale and finally get our money back that we put into it so what we got to do now is we got to take some good quality picture of this thing and we're going to get it on the market so I took a bunch of pictures of it vertically now a tip most people people use their phone to shop for cars these days and pictures look so much better on the ads vertical as opposed to horizontal I decided to list it here at the Kelly Blue Book value of $9,500 now that's quite a lot for a vehicle most people with $10,000 laying around usually what they do is they just buy a new car with a decent down payment so it wasn't going to fly off the shelf like a$3 to $5,000 vehicle I find after about $6,000 used cars do not sell nearly as fast cuz most people don't have that much money laying around and like I said when they do they usually go and get a new car with a big down payment so it sat for a few days without much interest until I dropped the price down to $88,500 3 days after posting it I explained before in my other car flipping videos something about dropping the price automatically boost your listing in the marketplace algorithm and with the day of dropping it I had someone somewhat serious who came down and look at the Jeep in person and tried load balling me way too hard at $77,000 now I held firm there and I respectively declined he ended up leaving and never called me back I ended up getting a few more Tire kickers who wasted my time on messenger and at this point I finally got someone who was serious and decided to meet up with me and see the Jeep in person now we got me down $8,000 I wanted to hold strong at $8500 but since the last guy came here a few days before wasting my time I honestly I didn't even feel like looking at this Jeep any longer I sold it for $1,500 Under the Blue Book value for a quick sale and I still turned a profit I was totally happy with it now it's time to jump back to the money investor chart and see the total amount of money we actually got invested into it I'm going to add another $100 for miscellaneous things like gas fast detailing products and anything I might be forgetting so if we add all this UPS it comes to a grand total of $4,888 now we're going to round that up to a total amount of vested of $4,900 now we have a sale price of $8,000 and that leaves us with a total profit margin of $3,100 that's definitely not bad at all so now we're going to do a little more math and we're going to figure out an hourly rate now I'll go through this quick it took about 1 hour to diagnose the misfire and replace the Quil and plugs it took about an hour and a half on each rear wheel bearing so that's about 3 hours to replace the wheel bearings it took about an hour at most to go get the new tires installed up the road and SLA them back on the Jeep the interior detail took a good 7 hours between me and my friends this thing was so nasty the dome light pretty much took no time at all the skid plate took about 30 minutes to find bolts in my garage and pop it back in place another 30 minutes to disassemble the roof rack and hit it with some paint the headlights took about 30 minutes to get them back to brand new shape again a good 2 hours to wash and completely buff the paint about another hour to restorm the trim and plastic and all the seals and the exterior the Jeep and last but not least about another 3 hours of miscellaneous things like shopping for parts drive time inspecting the car and all the other things like that now that comes out to a total amount of Labor invested of 19.5 hours so that's take the profit margin of $3,100 we'll divide it by 19.5 hours of Labor and that comes out to an hourly rate of $158 an hour seriously not bad at all now with YouTube pushing YouTube shorts so hard my videos do not get the views and love that they used to there's no telling how many more episodes I will make since YouTube is pushing so hard in
