Is it? See, thatâs the thing, there isnât enough information to support either of our claims. When the market system was introduced, I remember that 0% would be a sort of breakeven point, they even added the factory size for us to get a clearer picture, now with the campaign, thatâs gone.
One thing is for sure, âevery possible other costâ isnât supposed to be added to the price that is on the market tab, it would be valid if you were adding on top of the material and production costs, however.
When he mentioned cheaper cars, I immediately presumed weâd be getting on the range of at least a porsche, who have the highest profit margins of a normal maker, at 18% over investment.
Have you played light campaign? Because there it is quite clear that price with 0% markup is the cost of producing the car - and only producing, without costs of designing and engineering it and retooling or building factories.
I have and it isnât. 0% markup gets, for example, all the overhead costs included, making you statement of âevery possible other costâ wrong. Now, as to being profitable and what would be a breakeven point, all I can say is that a lot of guides still arenât implemented and everything is a bit all over the place.
In the campaign mode, markup is highly variable and thereâs no one value that should be used. Itâs entirely dependent on supply and demand. For example, I had a premium car selling as low as 10% markup because I built it in a large factory and that was the only way to sell off all my cars. And even with that low a markup, I was still making something like $100M/month if I remember correctly.
In sandbox mode, I just follow the markups used by the competitor cars, to make things as fair as possible. So base trims are 20%, premium trims are 40%, and sport trims are 30%.
However thatâs what was told when the markets were introduced, 0% would mean break even and anything above that would signify profits. That explains peopleâs tendencies to use realistic profit margins, but which considering the gameâs weirdness means we end up with underpriced cars.
Over at the DSD stand a crowd is gathering as two new shapes are wheeled out under covers.
Suddenly the lights dropâŠ
âAnd now a word from our sponsersâ
Low on cash need a pick me up well come on down to Chem-Laxx Industries. We offer above average rates to people prepared to under-go a few simple tests"

Le BARRAMUNDI est disponible en deux niveaux de finition du cheval de bataille standard, le LXi et le haut de la gamme de luxe Sportswagon GLX.
As CMT was losing market volume in the 2000s, we became a choice for enthusiasts but were still offering workaday vehicles. We will be presenting our new RS models but also the one or other facelift. Our cars may not be the best, but neither they are bad and you choose a brand with great history and a good image.
It was not largely announced that we come to Paris, but that was a quick last minute descision.
CMT. For those who know what they want.
Sorry, had no time for this yet. I hope it is not too late.
