[h2]Hello Car Dealers![/h2]
As promised, we are introducing several changes today. Their goal is to make listing offers easier and to present more clearly how vehicle prices are calculated.

[h3]Listing offers[/h3]
  • Bonuses are now displayed correctly, regardless of whether the offer is negotiable or not.
  • The way market value is presented has been changed.
    For example:
    Instead of +40% you will now see 140%.
    Instead of -10% you will now see 90%. The percentages refer to the vehicle’s market value.
  • Added the Estimated profit.
    It shows the amount in dollars you can earn by selling the vehicle at the listing price compared to its purchase price.
  • Added additional information below the attractiveness bar. When the price becomes unattractive, a message will appear informing you that it is too high and customers will not be interested in purchasing the vehicle.


Some of you pointed out that upgrading vehicles may seem unprofitable when using the "non-negotiable" option. We wanted to clarify this. Vehicle condition, mileage, and bonuses all affect market value, which means most work performed on a vehicle directly increases its value and allows you to set a higher selling price. The Estimated profit is intended to help you quickly check the actual profit generated by a vehicle.



[h3]Negotiation window[/h3]
We have changed the hints displayed during negotiations. Only two fields are now visible:
  • Listing price
    A reminder of the price at which you listed the vehicle. It serves as a reference point during negotiations.
  • Profit
    Information about how much you will earn or lose compared to the vehicle’s purchase price if you accept the current customer offer.


These changes were introduced because the previous view contained a large number of values that could be unclear or cause confusion. We hope the current format makes it easier to evaluate the profitability of selling vehicles.



[h3]Other changes[/h3]
  • Fixed an issue where the mechanic worker ignored fuses.
  • Fixed an issue with the package contents preview window. The UI now properly disappears when the player stops using it.
  • Fixed an issue where the Striker vehicle model did not turn on its lights in traffic.




In the meantime, we invite you to check out the forum thread where we gather your feedback and ideas for future updates:
