Interesting, buy a 928 that has been sitting for years, add paint, wheels, headlight switch and do the brakes and sell for a profit. No worries with the motor mounts, timing belt, A/C, cruse control, or torque tube. I guess they were also counting his mechanic's labour as free!

Interesting show though, nice the way the host was so enthusiastic about the 928. Good to see them do the paintwork correctly by pulling out the windows etc.

This series is on HD Theater currently.

Always free labor, always sell the car for about what they have in it in parts and frequently forget to include things that had to be done in the original overview. IE a Mercedes with a cold start valve bad, mentioned in the beginning but miraculously fixed by the end of the show with not a mention or parts or work involved.
Also lots of dodgy deals....new wheels and new tires for a few hundred type scenarios.

Still if it gets people interested in buying and fixing cars gets my vote anyway.
