Using best parts on them wouldn't bring you much profit anyway. But in junkyard there are quite often cars with weak engines and high mileage. If you get a nice low mileage supercharged car from junkyard, you will be a fool if you use worn parts when restoring it. Of course you should use only 100% parts (even tuning parts only if possible) if you want to maximize your profit. Why waste the half of the value of the car you bought, when you could use it for more profit? If you want to fully restore this car, and you just sell the old but good parts, you basically throw away the half of the car's value (because selling a part which would be worth 50€ mounted on a car, will bring you only 25€ => 25€ are wasted). My point was - if you buy a car in relatively good condition (from barns or auction), you pay for it, right? You pay for its parts too. What you have written is fully correct, katzenjogi. Make a self test, Change the rubber bushing of a 100% car with a 99% bushing and look how much less the car value might be. Not to mention a rubber bushing or something like that. You maybe save one or two thousand bucks for buying new parts, but at cars like the bandit, magnum etc you will loose about 20 000 - 30 000 bargain just because of you stinginess.Įven a missing licence plate could cost you about 10 000 bucks. So you cannot save any money at the actual game's mechanics of handling used parts.Īll I can say is restoring cars with non 100% parts is a bad idea. Have you spend 8$ for that ignition coil you get 8$ in reverse. The inventory calculates a value for each used part - so for a 2$ ignition coil you get only 2$. Storing good conditioned parts makes only sense if you like to have some spare parts for customer's repairs.īut I have made the experience that the money you get for the repair depends on how much you spend for the spare parts. Without that it is a waste of time and money, as you will not get the bargain that would be possible.
Restoring cars only make sense if you do the full 100%.
Keep the good unrepairable parts and use them later on cars you dont want to keep. Originally posted by m3c0:Again - selling a part means wasting the half of its value.
