You can make this work if you are savvy enough to know what you can fix
inexpensively. You also need a good eye for a bargain, and also know what is
resellable. You can do pretty well buying cars for under $500, doing a repair
for $100 - $200, and selling it for under $2000. As long as it's clean, doesn't
smoke, and most everything works (A/C) you can find a buyer. Best season for
that price range is the month before school starts.

There are plenty of people who can do without a car for a week at a time to save
a little money. You will make more money with less pressure with the first
scenario - buying/fixing/selling
