I suppose if you bought the 744 I have to sell for $350, put in a new cam seal and timing belt, put all of the trim pieces back in place with new screws and glue, fixed the wiring harness in a few places, gave it a good tune up, shampoo the carpets, seats, etc, you could make a "profit" of a couple of hundred.

Most often, the cars are old and need a lot of work. Struts, shocks, tires, other suspension bits are the most costly. If there is a pick&pull nearby, you might be able to get some replacement parts cheaply.

Make a realistic profit? No. But there is satisfaction in keeping another Volvo on the road. Most of us who like to "play" with these cars loose our collective shirts, but it is a hobby/obsession. We have fun doing it, and if we break even, great!
