Before you buy
How many cars will it hold?
Up to 100 vehicles, whether you flip three cars a year or thirty.
How do repair costs reach each car?
Log each repair on the Repairs tab with the car's name. Vehicle Inventory totals that car's repairs for you.
Will it warn me before I hit my state's dealer limit?
Enter your state's yearly limit on Settings. The Dashboard then shows cars sold this year and the percent of the limit used.
What do I get?
An Excel file (.xlsx), a filled-in sample to look at, and a quick-start PDF guide with a link that makes your own copy in Google Sheets.
How does delivery work?
You get your download links right after checkout, and Stripe emails your receipt. There is nothing to ship and nothing to wait for.
How do I set it up in Google Sheets?
Open the quick-start PDF and click the Google Sheets link. Google makes a copy in your own Drive that only you can edit. You need a free Google account.
Will it work on a Mac?
Yes. It works in Excel on Mac and Windows, and in Google Sheets in any browser.
I'm not a spreadsheet person. Is that a problem?
No. You only type in the yellow cells. Everything in gray works itself out, and the Start Here tab shows you where to begin.
Can I get a refund?

What if I get stuck?

Made by Clean Pixel StudiosWe start every template by reading what people in that line of work say they struggle with, then build the spreadsheet around those problems. This one was made for car flippers and nobody else.
