The Car Shopping Round (Round 64): Tears in Heaven

I have something just about pre-built for this…

Edit: Actually, I don’t. Everything I’ve run through that price calculator ends up being too expensive. Might just skip this one. No point in Storm making a shitbox.

I am also struggling to build a car that stays under budget and still meets the other requirements for this round - but at least I ended up with a few designs that would fit into the lore of some of my companies; those vehicles would have been discarded altogether otherwise.

Remember, you don’t have to build the car in 2007. I’m getting some very promising results with older models…

Which one is it, dung-brain? Either it’s too easy for you, or it’s too hard for you, it cannot be both. You don’t need to reply to every comment like your drivel adds anything to the conversation, you can, in fact, remain silent and let others partake in the discussion. Believe me when I say that sometimes silence is golden. Right now, some silence from you would be appreciated by everyone. You don’t have to post in every thread with one of your meaningless comments just summarizing shit that everyone else has already figured out. When you do that, it pisses everyone off, it drives everyone up the fucking wall, and I speak for a good section of the old community here when I say we’ve fucking had it. Shape up, or ship the fuck out.

Ah, a few of my plans were to try making stuff from 1996 and 2000 work. Just couldn’t get the price down. Company lore means AWD and advanced safety.

This has been challenging as I hardly have any cars in that year range that fit that size, or power output. However I believe I have the answer to your college needs. It’ll get you where you’re going and turn heads along the way.

The 2003 Petoskey Montauk SB*




When Petoskey updated the Montauk for the 2003 model year it was decided that the base model was too dull. Not everyone had the money to afford the V8 Rally model or the highly coveted RTX, so effort was made towards making the base V6 model more exciting. The SB (Sport Budget, there was a reason I didn’t call it Budget Sport) was the end result. Using a 5RM3 transmission, the Montauk SB is the first base model to use a manual transmission since the 1960s. Don’t worry about your safety either, in addition to the advanced safety measures that come standard on all Petoskey models, the SB is equipped with Petoskey’s DRIVESAFE package. Should you desire any of the electronic aids be deactivated a simple flick of a switch will do that. No cycling the key 3600 times, no holding the brake pedal at exactly 42% of it’s travel, no jumping through flaming hoops, just a switch.

Looks like a fun round @EnryGT5 but I’ve got a question.

Budget after depreciation and markup: €7500

What is this price relative to the in-game currency? Or are we to assume that this is the same as the in-game currency or do we have to convert from euro to whatever the in-game currency is?

Being a car for college, I should’ve mentioned that DNA is easily wiped off the seats of the Montauk.

not many bodyshell that into my liking and being budget tight isnt really my best

there a body that i like sadly can only give 11 practicality at max

I’m All Aboard, I Was Thinking of Something similar for a Challenge except I Wasn’t sure about depreciation as it’s not really programmed in game. Depending on depreciation Calculations & Possibilities to Calculate Condition (a Car With More Mileage &/or More Repairs/Rusty Body would sell for less than a Mint Condition Car, Maybe Neg Quality Sliders Can be used to Emulate it?). I Would possibly have a Lower Budget with $500-1500 Prefered, maybe $2500 Max after Calculations & Any Year Body/Chassis/Trim/Engine.

LVC- coupe
1.6 liter inline 4 - 115 HP
RWD
4 standard seats
fuel economy
6.89 liter per 100 KM
or
68.9 liter per 1000 KM


alrighty here it is mine
The equation is: price*(0,97^(2019-trim year)) = depreciated price

12960*(0,97^(19))
12960*(0.5606)
12960*0.5606
7265 in 2016
