Frequently Asked Questions
How do I make a profit in this game?
Buy vehicles below their market value, then sell them for a higher price. Pay attention to vehicle condition and customer demand to set smart prices.
What happens if my dealership runs out of money?
If your cash hits zero and you have no assets to sell, the game ends. Keep a reserve fund and avoid risky investments that could drain your savings.
Can I hire employees to help me?
Yes, you can recruit salespeople and mechanics. Better staff can lead to faster sales and improved vehicle repairs, but they also cost wages, so balance your team size with your income.
How does the market affect my business?
Customer preferences and economic conditions shift over time. When certain car types become popular, you can raise prices; when demand drops, lower prices to avoid holding inventory too long.
What is the best way to expand my dealership?
Upgrade your showroom and parking area to display more vehicles. Only expand when you have stable cash flow, because larger lots come with higher overhead costs.
Is there a time limit to complete the game?
No, there's no strict time limit. You can play at your own pace, though the game will track your reputation and wealth over time, and some events may occur based on your progress.
