Here's what I do:

I'm getting a guy to deliver a '91 Geo Storm to me (possibly) for $200. Nothing wrong with it except the engine is blown. An engine costs me $213.97 with as many accessories as I can pull with it.

Later this week, I'm going to deliver a bunch of junk I have to a guy in Binghamton, NY, who has a '97 VW Golf. I'm taking the car as payment for parts I have no use for, and never had to pay for, as they came from parted out cars that I made more than I spent on them.

The Tacoma I just parted out - $200. Sold the rusted bed for more than that, made another $1000 on top of that.

Cara - $250. Needed a water pump and timing belt - $80.

Granny - $400. Needed nothing.
