Yeah its more of a theoretical exercise. I will be in the market for at least one new car in the next year or so, and buying a rust-free Florida car is definitely an option for us. I am sure by January the used car market will be different than it is now anyways so flipping cars for profit is probably not a sustainable enterprise.
