Real flip in progress: 2012 Nissan Juke
A real Clyde Select car. What we paid is real. The profit is projected until it sells.
The car
- 2012 Nissan Juke 1.6 petrol, manual, blue
- 79,522 miles
- MOT until February 2027
- Drives well
- Damage: a dent on the front passenger door edge
- Location: Glasgow
- Write-off category: being checked. Free checks don't show write-off markers, so we'll add the category here once it's confirmed.
The numbers so far
| Paid | £840 | What Clyde Select paid at Copart. Any extra fees on top aren't broken out here. |
|---|---|---|
| Door repair | £290 | Planned, only if needed: new door £190 + £100 labour. Not done yet. |
| Listed for | £1,499 | Asking price on Facebook Marketplace. Not sold yet. |
| Projected profit, with door repair | £369 | £1,499 − £840 − £290. Projected, before fees and fuel. |
| Projected profit, sold as it is | £659 | £1,499 − £840. Projected, before fees and fuel. |
Buyers often haggle, so the real sold price may be lower than the asking price. Fuel, any extra auction fees, transport and selling costs will come off the projected figures.
Run these numbers in the calculator
The calculator link puts in £840 as the bid and adds Copart's published buyer fees on top, so it shows a lower profit. If our £840 already included the fees, the real figure sits between the two.

What happens next
- Confirm the write-off category and add it here.
- Do the door repair only if a buyer or the price needs it.
