Name Changes do not effect your licenses, but your character will lose all 'charges' and 'imprisonments'.... Licenses stay the same!

That's a good way to dump car's out of the economy... only thing is, it brings money into the economy as it's money from an NPC not another player.... -1

I don't know what I was thinking when I typed that out XD 100k is far too much! 1)1000 kilometres = Car starting to degrade 2) 1500 kilometres = Prompt for a new engine or scrap the car *Kinda like a engine warning light in a real car* 3) 2000 kilometres = Engine Dies either replace or scrap Replacement Engines should cost 50% of the STOCK price... has to be specific to the car... @aon

Yeah, I updated it to the full numbers... it get's real confusing without the full numbers

Mechanics.... 100%. Makes the most sense there!

I think the cars 'degrading' should be a longer process than what you said... 1) It's more realistic that way... cars don't just start to fall into pieces that quick, it's takes decades for that process to come around... It makes more sense for cars to start to degrade after 100,000 kilometers of driving... (Driving from AutoRepairs to Bayview is already 4.5-5 KM) 2) Engine Replacements should be 50% of the vehicles stock price, it does not make sense that a T20 and a FUTO pay the same amount for a new engine..... 3) Engine repair propmts should begin after 150,000 kilometers of driving... 4) Scrap or Replace Engine should be done around 200,000 kilometers of driving...

That's exactly how it works in real life.... it's called 'SECOND HAND'

+1 - Great Idea! This would be perfect for dealing with the problem we are having

I understand what you are saying about buying and selling cars being a money sink.... Here is an example of how this is destroy the economy, if people keep under selling cars... especially MAXED OUT cars below stock. 2 Negatives will come from this.... 1) Dealerships now have no use as you can buy the same car MAXED OUT for less 2) The $ value in game would also depreciate due to the value of assets not being what they should be.... @flow

I would assume so, although Andor owns a dealership so he might know the facts...

Then maybe a system where the dealership owners can 1) Decide if they want to buy cars under import from players / or decide to opt out 2) Maybe set which cars they want to buy and how much they are willing to pay for example maybe you set it up so that you can only buy warreners and you max pay out is 5,000 maybe something along those lines?

Where would that money come from? The Dealership Owner? I don't know anyone willing to throw more money into the dealerships.... They are usually to turn a profit

Yeah, we just discussed all of this.... we also put forward that idea that if anyone loses a car with a custom plate, they should get their 500 credits back.... We also agreed that players must get a fair chance to fight their case and not just have their items stripped from them and assumed guilty....

Hello All, I would like to raise an issue I have seen unfolding for a while.... For some reason, people are selling MAXED OUT cars for less than stock price which is most definitely going to kill this economy... They don't seem to understand that messing with the value of the $ in game can really kill the economy.... I have taken a small road trip to high end and have some screenshots that I would like to share.... MAXED OUT T20 currently sitting here at 40,000 UNDER STOCK PRICE Another MAXED OUT T20 currently sitting here at 70,000 UNDER STOCK PRICE **NOTE, I've seen one of these sell for 450,000** 190,000 UNDER STOCK MAXED OUT Nero up here for 1,000 UNDER STOCK **I'm sure it will keep going down, just wait and see** MAXED OUT Bullet selling for 45,000 UNDER STOCK MAXED OUT FMJ sitting here at 5,000 UNDER STOCK **I'm sure it will keep going down, just wait and see** **NOTE: I've seen one of these sell for 400,000** 125,000 UNDER STOCK ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ These are examples of people who are literally killing the economy to try and make back some quick money, I would not be surprised if they all keep dropping in price... I think we need to implement something that stops this from happening... or at least spread the word on how to actually sell a car.... For Anyone who's car I have a screenshot of or anyone planning to sell their 'MAXED OUT' cars... sit down and listen to how to do it properly.... I will use the T20 in my example..... Stock Price is $640,000 (Auto Repairs | Auto Services) If you car is 'MAXED OUT' and you need to flip it quick.... Follow this formula.... Stock Price + Turbo Price = Quick Sell Price T20 Quick Sell Example: $640,000 + $35,000 = $675,000 (Credit to @KatieCat9 for the formula )
