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

Or make it so that people could export cars and sell at ×% depending on mods to an NPC or something?
This would regulate the lowest selling price of the car.
This would remove cars from the game.
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

And here I feel like 10k kilometres for the first degrade is wayyy to much. I would have said 1000-2000, since driving from the inner city to paleto bay and back is like 22 kilometres. It would take players literally years to rack up 100k kilometres.
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...

Should engine repairs be at dealerships or mechanics?
Mechanics.... 100%. Makes the most sense there!

I'm not sure how hard it would be to script a mileage system. I guess the tools are there and the mileage for cars could be stored in a database, similar to how player stats are stored.
So when a car is new from the dealership, it has 0 kilometers and 100% health. As you drive it around, it gathers kilometers thus degrading the car's value.
10k Kilometers - 95%
15k Kilometers - 90%
20k Kilometers - 85%
etc.
I believe it'd be best to start the degredation from 10k onwoard as that's a quite big number and it will take time to actually collect.
Yes, 20k kilometers isn't anything for a car IRL but the distances traveled just aren't possible to simulate in a game world in a realistic timeframe.
Vehicle Engine Repair:
- If a car is at 40% health or less, the owner can chose to have a new engine fitted. That however will be very expensive. Somewhere between the 100k and 150k mark.
The vehicle's kilometers would then reset to 0. The health however, won't go back up to 100% but rather be 80% max. You have to keep in mind that everything else on the vehicle is in pretty bad shape after so many miles. The breaks aren't good anymore, the transmission and any other moving part of the vehicle are in a pretty bad condition. Thus locking the max health to 80% after a new engine was installed makes sense. The cycle of degredation would then start again.
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...

But you also have to remember that.When you buy a new car from a dealership.You will never get your money back.Cuz when you drive out of the dealership it instantly loses ~20-30% it's value.
That's exactly how it works in real life.... it's called 'SECOND HAND'

Mileage. Wear and tear. They shouldn't be too hard to script. Distance traveled would decrease max HP up until it can't be fixed anymore. Had this on other servers and worked reall great.
25k Kilometers - 95% max health
30k Kilometers - 90% max health
Car destroyed <10 times - Remove no max health.
Car destroyed 10-20 times - Remove 5% max health.
Car destroyed 20-30 times - Remove 8% max health.
etc. you get the point.
Once below 30% new engine could be installed, but it's 100k+ $.
Give cars condition and the prices will adjust.
Total your car every day
That would give actual value to vehicles and their condition.
+1 - Great Idea! This would be perfect for dealing with the problem we are having

But that's how car business works. Supply and demand. There's tons of cars people don't need anymore but the demand for them isn't all so great. Thus having to make the price appealing. Cars selling under value aren't really crashing the market. They are the only money sink we have right now, the only reliable one at least. If anybody would get exactly what they paid for the car plus upgrades, now that would be bad for the economy. This isn't a bad thing. This helps get money off the server. You are not eligible to make a profit selling a car or break even. I don't see anything wrong with this whatsoever. You are mentioning that it destroys the economy but I fail to see but one example of that.
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....

Am I correct in assuming a dealership can spawn in as much of a single vehicle as they want, as long as they pay for them? @Andor @King Zaki
I would assume so, although Andor owns a dealership so he might know the facts...

Well the amount of warreners I import is still decent, if I can rebuy cars and sell them with a profit i would probably do it.
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?

What about selling you car back to a dealership underneath stock prices?
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

Good point, I would say criminals that commit crimes that would pass a certain threshold of time/money will lose ownership of property
having a car with a X amount of lives is bad since you can lose cars due to crashesYeah, 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....
Spoiler
MAXED OUT T20 currently sitting here at 40,000 UNDER STOCK PRICE
Spoiler
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
Spoiler
MAXED OUT Nero up here for 1,000 UNDER STOCK **I'm sure it will keep going down, just wait and see**
Spoiler
MAXED OUT Bullet selling for 45,000 UNDER STOCK
Spoiler
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 )

A more realistic recommended specification would be:
3.6Ghz CPU | GTX 970+ | 16 GB 1600Mhz DDR3 RAM

The Windsor is a modern, much large coupe... taking heavy influence from the Rolls Royce Wraith, and some other elements from the Bentley Flying Spur. The car takes a contemporary coupe body design, with an upraised hood.

The Lynx seems to be heavily based on the Jaguar F-Type, seen particularly in the overall frontal fascia and side profiling. It appears as a tow-door coupe with a similar design to the Massacro. The car features a split grille with the Ocelot logo centralised in the top grille. The bottom portion of the grille takes a wider approach and has a carbon-fibre splitter which is fitted into the bumper...

Hello All, My Name is King Zaki and this the story of how I become a REFORMED roleplayer on the server... Before we begin, if you would like to get any refreshments or use the toilet please do it now so you don't miss anything good! Have you got your snacks? Good! Let's begin!
Chapter: 1 - The Beginning
My Story starts back in the middle of May 2017, when a few of my NATO friends (Joe Savage & Mason Savage) from Arma 3 started to play on the server and I joined them... This was my birth into The Savages. My Original character was called 'Zaki Savage' and I freely admit I was a rulebreaker. Though it was never intentional. I just never took time to read the rules, It takes me longer than usual to read and write so I just used my previous roleplay knowledge and began to play. I quickly racked up admin punishment, and before long I was given my first ban.... and the bans just kept rolling in!
Total Weeks Banned: 3 Weeks
Chapter: 2 - The Controller Incident
For those of you that already know about 'The Controller Incident' this is my side of the event... So, I had my original alternate character called 'Derrick Rose' who was a reporter at Weazel News and I was damn good at it. I hated having to tab in to the game and move my character due to the AFK script while I am writing an article... I was advised by a higher up at Weazel News that I could use a controller while I am writing my articles so that I don't get distracted (I have ADHD) so I did.
How The Picture surfaced...
At the time of this happening, I was in The Savage discord talking to some friends in the voice channel... We somehow got to the topic of the AFK timer and I explained what I was doing so i didn't have to tab in every 10 mins, he asked to see a picture and I sent it to him via the discord... The picture and caption were taking out of context by an admin in the discord and I was punished for it... I was given a 21 day ban...
Total Weeks Banned: 6 Weeks
Chapter: 3 - The Fresh Start
After I was given this 21 day ban, I decided I wanted a fresh start without any negative or biased opinions against me because due to my previous action a lot of people hated me, rightfully so. I bought myself a new copy of GTA, I made myself a new Social Club account and a new set of character in game... This was the birth of 'Alex McRee'. One thing that a huge amount of people don't know is that I was actually ban evading for the 21 days...and I got away with it!
How I got caught....
After around 23 days, I made my forth character called 'Thomas Luciano' and during a gang meeting we started to shoot eachother and Joey/Glubu who was a medic at the time came to revived us, long story short Joey somehow found out about me ban evading and he told Osvaldon about it. I spoke to Joey after he told Osvaldon and he said it's Osvaldon's decision on whether or not I get permanently banned for my actions of ban evading... an hour or so pasted by and I was ready to look for a new game to play.... I get a message from Joey.....
Chapter: 4 - REFORMED
After speaking to Joey for another hour or so, talking about my future on the server, I decided that I needed to personally thank Osvaldon as I knew he was 100% in the right to permanent ban me there and then but he gave me a second chance and I was not about to go and waste that opportunity I was given. So I sent Osvaldon a message on discord....
Now that i knew I was not going to be getting banned, I wanted to make sure I never get into trouble again. Luckily, at the same time i met someone that wanted the same thing for me... someone that was willing to help me not get into trouble again, someone that cared about me... As previously mention, I do have trouble reading and writing but this special someone sat down with me on discord and read me all 8 pages of the rules just before i went to sleep... This special someone keeps me on the straight and narrow everyday i'm on the server to make sure I don't get banned again....
Chapter: 5 - The End
It's now been a couple of months and I'm still going strong with no reports against me, I'm having a lot of fun on the server and I'm enjoying this new level of roleplay I have experienced... I would like to become staff one day and give back to the community...although this is highly unlikely due to my history unfortunately....
Special thanks to my special someone.... @KatieCat9
