OK, this is my conclusion after fiddling a little bit:
Techpool raised to 32M and budget to $10500 (That will allow for some quality above the utter shitboxes while still being restrictive).
$1500 price penalty for a CVT.
No price penalty for advanced auto (it still has obvious drawbacks at the same price point compared to a manual)
The $1500 surcharge for a CVT makes sense considering the fact that it’s a fairly rare option for 1986.
Submissions open.

Would my Accetio fall under rules and stuff?
im genuinely not sure
Yes, a car released in 1984 is OK as long as you set the trim year to 1986.
Fortaleza Motor Company Castelão SX (Export)
First designed and produced in 1948, the Castelão is a wonderfully niche part of the car industry. Modernised with a facelift in 1984, Fortaleza MC decided to export a select few to Europe as part of the 1986 model year. A rear engine 1.6L inline 4 is fed through a manual gearbox and creature comforts are not a thing. She ain’t pretty, she ain’t capable, but she is a funky lil fella and who doesn’t want a funky lil guy, right?
It’s $7,800

The Pride of Cuba.
The 1986 Hirochi Esperto, in its rare ‘Stinger Yellow’ (1/2400) if you want to splurge some extra cash for mocking rights.
Uken had made the car, but it had been rebadged to get by import tariffs, such is the Accetio’s other counterpart, the Rajin Tarta.
With its low boot sills, you can fit just about anything in the rear, the rear seats are foldable, and the parcel shelves removable to access the emergency kit, and the spare tire. Ideal for your trips to the furniture store, or the grocery store, or just about any store.

1986 WALDERSEE ATTACHE L16v
For their mid-market cars - those being upper-C segment and above - the brands agreed on a longitudinal architecture, with most Waldersee cars sticking to the desirable sports credentials of rear-drive and Arlington adapting the same platforms to the then-desirable and “safer” front-drive configuration. In those segments maximum footprint efficiency was not a priority - so an all-new transverse layout was not needed. In the case of the lower-C segment - that is, the junior fleet sedan segment - and below, however, space efficiency was a priority, so Arlington and Waldersee would jointly develop a transverse, strictly-FWD (no rear axle provision) platform. That platform was previewed in 1980 by the Waldersee Fortschritt concept car, and followed up on in 1981 by the Attache.
While the first Attache - and its badge-engineered Calahan Ceres and Arlington Alberta US counterparts - had a more cost-saving and conservative design, the 1986 facelift, as shown below, copied the initial, aerodynamic Fortschritt concept very closely. This especially applies to the 2-door version, as the four-door has conventional rather than special aerodynamic door handles. The platform is versatile, supporting up to a 5-cylinder engine despite largely being confined to four in regular production; body variants included 2, 3, 4 and 5-door versions along with an estate.
The 1986 Waldersee Attache is a working-class executive car. That is, it features executive looks, engineering prowess and standards at working-class equipment and price points and in a corresponding size class.
The first front-drive car ever offered by Waldersee, the Attache slots below the rear-drive compact executive Ritter car. Unlike the rear-drive Attache produced between 1972 and 1980, this new model is built to the Ritter’s same onerous standards: A fully rustproofed chassis, liberal usage of aluminum for the simpler of its panels, and a multicoat paint that is applied even to the bumper and rocker surfaces for a wealthy, mature appearance.
That appearance is enhanced in 1986 with wraparound headlights and aerodynamic door handles inspired by the Fortschritt concept, new body-colored aerodynamic door mirrors, and optional 13-inch alloy wheels available regardless of trim package.
Mechanically, the Attache is blessed with the same engineering prowess that produced the Ritter, Freiherr and Kurfürst luxury automobiles. Therefore, modern rack-and-pinion steering with optional hydraulic assist; fully-independent diagonal-arm rear axle; and a fuel-efficient 12-valve four cylinder engine (1100, 1300, 1600 or 2000cc available - latter three with forged crankshaft, aluminum head, variable-jet carburetor or optional fuel injection!).
Tuning is top-shelf, with rigorous Waldersee road and track testing used to ensure confident and flat cornering; to this end, a front stabilizer shaft is standard, and the sportier 1600 models and up come standard with CYB gas dampers. Rear springs are progressive-rate to facilitate acceptable trunk loads and, simultaneously, a forgiving ride. Standard-transmission models are available with a 2/3 overdriven fifth gear.
Interior amenities are modern and durable, with standard high-quality AM and FM radio alongside an available cassette player. Seats are manually adjustable and windows roll down completely. Complete instrumentation is naturally provided, as are four lap-sash seatbelts regardless of door configuration. There is a large amount of interior storage, and the seats (standard cloth: no vinyl here!) are bolstered for cornering confidence.
So, to reiterate: Yes, this is a compact car with fleet-friendly prices. Yes, this is a true Waldersee luxury automobile unlike anything else in this size class. Yes, you ought to try one out at a Waldersee dealership near you.
