Flipping cars can be profitable but you have to be very honest with your costs. If you enjoy wrenching, and making a little money, without hte expectation that you need it to pay your rent, then go for it but remember its a hobby.
I got lucky buying several non-running motorcycles in a row and then selling them in the spring/summer when people will buy anything that runs and has 2 tires. I could have taken home bikes with fragged engines. I figured if I didnt make $1000/bike it wasnt worth my time. It was fun but being able to FIND the bikes that need some minor repair is the hard part and you have to factor that into your 'profit'.
