Go for old junkers to start with. I haven't worried about money for a long time, so I can't remember specific vehicles. Won't take very long to get rich, though.

Stay away from auctions most of the time if you want max profit. Make sure you have repair tables and welder unlocked.

Folks with more detailed info will probably chime in soon.

I guess I can add that inline four-bangers are the quickest to rebuild, since time=money. Lotus would be a good one, as the suspension is a quick rebuild too. Anything along those lines.

One more thing.

Make sure you have all cars set to spawn everywhere in your Settings. You might find some good sh*t on the cheap. Disable travel fees while you're at it. Cheers to the beers.

Basically all the running gear and components cost the same so if it worth less than 100K to sell you're only making 20-30k net, something worth 200k to sell is an extra 100k in pocket for no extra cost.
Vanilla: Morena, and the 4 that come with "drag DLC" buy < 30, sell ~250.

Junkyard buys: without using JY parts build cost < 50.
(using a large inventory of collected junkyard parts saves about 15K on a build)

One star Salvage Auction cars cost a little bit more than Junkyard, but will have more repairable parts and/or if not repairable will have most of the parts so easier to shop for.

My rule is don't pay over Expected Market Value, unless you're sure it will be in the green with a wash and weld. Generally for JY buys I won't pay over 10% of the finished value.

Go to car Salon to check prices, -20% is the best you will be able to get for yourself, mileage makes a small difference.
