Examples-
1993 plymouth laser bought for 200, sold for 300, no repairs done
1988 S10 blazer 4x4 bought for 300, sold for 400, timing chain was fixed
As you can see, I tend to trade cars off and sell them, i really like doing it, it keeps me busy and I make profits.

Every car that I've resold I've done so for a profit, minus my sentra (trade in). Lost $100, i owned the car for a year, did no repairs to it and put 10,000 miles on it. Big whoop, haha.
When I get my own place someday I'm going to have 4-5 non running cars all at once I bet... If I don't pace myself I'll just keep grabbing more and more projects.

I remember that you told me that you thought the Caprice was too big and too boaty for you and the Bonnie was better suited for you. That was a sedan, the waggy will be even bigger and more boaty. No, it'* not worth it, save your money, you're throwing your money around. Save it for a nice Bonnie instead of 300-400 rustbuckets

You remind me of someone with A.D.D.

not worth it. Just save your money.
Making $100 is not a real big profit on a car when you factor in getting it back to your place, the time you put in to clean it and the time to list it.
I used to buy cars like that and did fairly well on the could I did, but found out that without the right stuff (truck/trailer/etc) it isn't worth it. I never bought a car that I didn't think I could make twice what I paid for it. It seems easy, then one day, you end up with a 89 sunbird GT Convertible in your garage that no one wants.
Just save your money and buy a good car. It'* worth it much more than buying cheap cars and selling right away.
