Car Trader Simulator

Car Trader Simulator is a business game about building an American car dealership into a well-known city business. You make choices across a campaign that can unfold in 27 different ways, deciding how to grow the company and how to deal with customers.

Campaign and choices

You can follow a law-abiding path, using experience gained while working with your uncle to expand the business and satisfy customers. Or you can take a “mafia” route, cutting corners on repairs and sales to deceive customers and make money quickly, and stealing vehicles for shady clients. The campaign’s difficulty has three levels: easy and medium suit players looking for a more relaxed experience with the plot, while the highest level is aimed at economic-simulator veterans. It removes hints, leaving you to rely on instinct and experience, and even simple missions can be demanding.

Run the business

You decide how to invest your earnings, weighing options such as hiring staff, repairing cars for extra profit and advertising. Random events can affect the business positively or negatively during the campaign. As the company grows, you can hire employees with different levels of experience, specializations and costs.

You also manage the map and your staff. You can choose which streets employees use to transport and repair cars you have bought or stolen. The city is divided into sections with distinct mechanics and names based on well-known US districts, and events can bring unexpected activities around the city.

Find and sell cars

You can negotiate for cars or buy them directly through internet auctions. New cars appear every few minutes alongside other bidders, so you need both cash and careful bidding to get the most from a vehicle. The game includes photos of over 1,000 real cars in different models, model years and colors, as well as unique models encountered during the main campaign.

When selling directly, you speak with customers to learn what they expect. Your goal is to choose a suitable car, make the sale and keep the buyer satisfied so your reputation does not fall. As the campaign progresses, customers visit more often and choosing the right car becomes more important.
