I bought a second-hand Chevrolet for £500 on Facebook Marketplace & in 24 hours I’d more than DOUBLED my money
A THRIFTY Facebook Marketplace user has told how he bought a car for £500 – and sold it twenty-four hours later for more than two times the price.
Sean Welsh took to social media to show how he managed to make a quick profit by selling a beaten-up Chevrolet Kalos.
The car, with almost a full MOT, had 68,000 on the clock when Sean picked it up.
He only paid £500 after spotting it on Facebook Marketplace, thinking all it needed was a few fixes.
Sean replaced both tyres for £60 and spray painted the wheel trims black, which only cost him £5.
After the minor repairs, he put the car through a rigorous deep clean and decided to take lots of pictures to use in the advert – so interested buyers would get a clear idea of the its true condition.
And he ended up flogging it for a whopping £1,250 the next day.
Sean titled the video: “Easy day’s flip, Chevrolet Kalos.”
He said on TikTok: “Making £700 profit in 24 hours, low mileage Chevrolet Kalos bought from Marketplace for £500 with nearly a year’s MOT.
