Mastering car flipping in Car Dealer Simulator requires more than just random purchases. Avoid common pitfalls and maximize profits with these strategies:

🔧 Smart Bargaining Tactics

• Visit the fuel shop early to buy inexpensive candy and cigarettes.
• Use them during negotiations to unlock an extra bargaining attempt, often securing $1,000–$3,000 in added profit.
• Deploy these consumables when buyers resist final price bumps.

⛔ Repair Warnings

Avoid most repairs—current mechanics cost more than the value they restore. Instead:

• Only fix critical issues like missing brake discs that render cars undrivable.
• Test repairs cautiously by comparing pre- and post-repair values via screenshots.

🚗 Strategic Purchasing

• Target non-drivable vehicles with minor mechanical issues for cheap acquisitions.
• Use the garage’s “reset” feature to teleport purchased cars to your lot instantly.

📈 Pricing Hacks

• List cars in the red zone—patience yields higher payouts than settling for “safe” green prices.
• Example: A car priced at 25,000 in green sold for 32,000 when listed in red.

✨ Cleaning & Polish Optimization

• Boost value by up to 12% through thorough cleaning.
• Rotate nozzles to cover tricky areas (e.g., wheels, van roofs) and upgrade to Level 2 wash stations for polish/wax features.

⏳ Mileage Adjustment Tips

• Use the mileage tool cautiously—start at the highest digit and stop if cracking sounds occur.
• Avoid red zones to prevent penalties while still boosting resale value.

📸 Selling Checklist

• Take photos (press T) from multiple angles.
• Price aggressively in the red zone and wait for ideal buyers.
• Bargain 5–8k below asking price, then use candy to bridge gaps.

Key reminder: If the price meter is green, you’re likely undervaluing your car.
