Junk Mechanics Flip Value Calculator

Estimate whether a junk-yard car is worth the auction bid after repair cost, paint, and dealership resale assumptions. Use it to avoid overbidding on rare but uneconomical cars.

The everyday flip: a couple of cheap fixes, decent value bump.

This flipping calculator uses player-entered auction bid, repair scope, and resale assumptions. Exact per-car dealership prices, paint multipliers, and auction RNG are community-reported and are not a guaranteed sell-price channel.

Second tool

How many flips to your target?

Set your starting Cash, average profit per flip, and a target (garage slot, M2CS, 570s, or a legend-tier marque) to plan the poor-to-rich route. All inputs are yours — no invented prices.

Reinvestment loop

Reinvest profit into garage capacity and a faster repair route to lift profit-per-flip — each upgrade shrinks the flip count required for the next goal.

Your average profit per flip comes from the flip calculator (a real sample). The goal tool just counts the flips — it does not assume any game-specific price that isn't yours.
