Vehicle Sales

Vehicle Sales is the vehicle shop GUI used to buy vehicles at car store markers.

Vehicle Sales GUI

Open it at a car store marker by pressing Z.

The GUI shows:

vehicle price
max speed estimate
search box
selected vehicle feature list
Buy, Color, and Test buttons

Important buying notes

Purchases over $500,000 require confirmation. You cannot buy a vehicle if attacked in the last 10 seconds. Cops are immune to damage while buying.

A vehicle starts with a sell value of 80% of its purchase price. Each spawn reduces its current sell value by 0.0001 of that value, with a minimum loss of $100 and a maximum of $1,000. The value cannot fall below zero. For example, a $5,000 vehicle starts at $4,000 and reaches zero after 40 spawns.

Max speed is an estimate, so test drive if you care about handling.
Newly purchased vehicles start locked.
Selling a vehicle back to the server deducts 20% from the original price.

Max Speed

After Buying

Electric conversion is not refunded when the vehicle is sold. Installed Engine Parts return 90% of their total, rounded down once. For example, 8,043 installed parts return 7,238.

After buying a vehicle, manage it with Vehicle Manager (F2). Buying a Pizzaboy shows a line such as Pizzaboy bought for $5,000. Press F2 to manage.

House sale distinction

Vehicle sales and house sales are separate systems. House sales use public listings in F7 > House Search; there is no house-sale invitation command or GUI button for one named buyer.

Panel controls

The Vehicle Sales GUI lists vehicles with their price and max speed. It has a search box, a feature list for the selected vehicle, and the buttons Buy, Color, Test, <, ||, >, and Close.

The Vehicle Sales GUI selected vehicle feature list shows these stats, in this order. Every vehicle lists the same features, so only the values change.

Max Speed, Acceleration, Suspension Force Level, Turn Mass, Brake Bias
Traction Loss, Engine Inertia, Suspension High Speed Damping, Mass, Traction Bias
Collision Damage Multiplier, Suspension Damping, Drag Coefficient, Steering Lock, Suspension Anti Dive Multiplier
Suspension Front Rear Bias, Brake Deceleration, Suspension Lower Limit, Traction Multiplier, Suspension Upper Limit
