ok...heres the background to my delimnia. I work as a mechanic 2 weeks ago I came across a customer who had a Maroon,1999 Nissan Sentra GXE 1.6 that just ticked over 139k with a nice body (the car) towed into the parking lot b/c the alternator crapped out. So she got all huffy puffy with the price to fix it & was all upset b/c she threw down alot of money in the past to fix this & have us to the work (exhuast, oil pan with gasket, 4 new tires), so shes saying how she doesnt wanna do the work b/c shes gonna junk it now. So my greedy ass threw her $375 on the spot and she gave me the title & the car the next day for a car that is blue booked @ $3,500. So today i had another customer wave $1,500 in my face for the car AS IS without making it run on the spot...
my question now is should i bite on the $1500 offered today without busting my knuckles to fix it or should i be patient and try my goal of $2500 & be greedy so my profits are $2,000 instead of only $1,000 off of my $475 spent on the car & the parts to fix it....i need some guidance!!! lol
$1,500 = no labor on my part, quick easy cash - $1000 profit
$2,500 = labor, finding parts, placing adds, finding a seller - $2000 profit
