Note sull'episodio
Not every vehicle is a rescue candidate, and not every repair project makes financial sense. In Episode 200, I share the exact 5-step evaluation process I've used for decades to determine whether a vehicle deserves a second chance, should become a donor vehicle, or is headed for the scrapyard AKA The Crusher🚀
From assessing the true condition of the vehicle to calculating repair costs, estimating time requirements, and finishing opportunities to save money through refurbishment and repair, this proven strategy helps remove emotion from the decision-making process.

Before you spend a dollar, have a plan👍🚗
