About the Game
Turn your dream of selling used cars into reality! In Car Dealer Simulator, you’ll learn the ins and outs of running a business from its quirky owner, Little Sam. He’s not great at keeping things in order, so your task is to buy low, fix up, and sell high. Over time, as you master your initial challenges, you’ll have the chance to take over the business, and then…

Everything will be in your hands! Build a business that fulfills your customers’ automotive fantasies. From budget-friendly cars to top-tier rides, seize opportunities, hire the best, provide excellent service, and maximize profits. Grow your company day by day.
The key to achieving high profits lies in negotiating when buying old cars. Look for great deals, and during price haggling, stay firm and professional.
Not all purchased cars are in working condition, so you’ll need to transport them using one of two types of tow trucks.
Every car requires diagnostics and preparation before being sold. Mechanical repairs, bodywork, painting, and small touch-ups will significantly increase the selling price.
Presenting a car to the customer requires a few tricks. Washing, good photos, and an engaging advertisement will be your allies. Highlight the car’s strengths in your listing, but remember—every car has its hidden flaws. Customers buy with their eyes, so use the shine of the paint, a full tank, and quality photos to your advantage.
Your profits will allow you to continually grow your company. Upgrade tools, repair zones, and your customer service office. Hire employees to boost efficiency. Manage your finances wisely and maintain your company’s reputation. But stay vigilant—competition, and even your “helpful neighbors,” never rest. Protect what you’ve tirelessly built from potential threats.

Hello Car Dealers!
One year ago, we released Car Dealer Simulator. Since then, the project has grown far beyond anything we could have imagined - and it's all thanks to you!
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44018181/070ad68b746977d92f5910064ec6a95329fc6b4e.png
Over the past twelve months, Car Dealer Simulator received Steam Deck Verification, launched on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, and became available on additional platforms including NVIDIA GeForce NOW and the Microsoft Store.
The numbers are impressive, but they don't truly capture what this year has meant to us.
We would like to thank the more than 500,000 players who purchased Car Dealer Simulator and supported us from day one. Seeing over 320,000 people add the game to their wishlist gives us even more motivation to continue improving the game and delivering new updates. We hope many of you will soon join our community as well!
We would also like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the hundreds of content creators who shared Car Dealer Simulator on YouTube, TikTok, Twitch, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Your videos, livestreams, and long-running series have been incredible to watch and a huge source of motivation for our team.
Special thanks also go to our amazing Discord moderators for their tremendous support in communicating with players, highlighting community-reported issues, and helping organize feedback and suggestions for the future development of the game.
It has been an incredibly busy year, but we believe this is only the beginning of our journey together.
Thank you for an amazing first year ♥

Hello Car Dealers!
We're back with another update regarding the customers visiting your dealership!
Some time ago, we introduced the first expansion of customer behaviors:
https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2404880/view/704394876188362005
Today, we're taking that system a step further. From now on, some customers arriving at your dealership will be interested in trading in their current vehicle for one of the cars you have listed for sale.
If a customer finds a vehicle they really like, they may offer their own car as part of the deal and pay the difference in value.
Keep in mind, however, that not every offer will be worth accepting. Be sure to carefully inspect the customer's vehicle and evaluate its value before making a decision. A well-negotiated trade-in can be a great way to expand your inventory and increase profits, but a careless dealer might end up losing money on the deal.
Customers interested in vehicle trade-ins will only start appearing after unlocking the Level 4 Office.
See you in the next update!

Hello Car Dealers!
In today's update, we're expanding the Pawn Shop and giving it a whole new purpose!
Until now, the Pawn Shop has been a place where you could purchase special daily deals and sell items you've found. Starting today, it also becomes the center of a brand-new reputation system with Tony, unlocking additional progression opportunities.
Tony will now offer a variety of special challenges. Some tasks will require you to prepare a specific vehicle, while others will ask you to collect certain items. Completing these challenges will reward you with cash and reputation points, helping you build a stronger relationship with Tony.
As your reputation grows, you'll gain access to increasingly difficult tasks, but the rewards will become much more valuable as well. The more trust you earn, the better opportunities Tony will have waiting for you.
That's not all. We've also expanded the safe-cracking system. New lockpick types have been added to help you deal with tougher safes and more advanced locks. At the same time, we've rebalanced the entire mechanic so that higher-tier lockpicks provide a noticeable advantage, while basic lockpicks are now much more likely to become damaged during use.
Additionally, in this update:
- We've optimized forest areas and implemented a new generation system, resulting in improved performance and more consistent environmental visuals.
- Restored the enhanced game color grading that was accidentally overwritten in one of the previous updates.
- Added the missing note displaying the Pawn Shop's opening hours.

Hello Car Dealers!
Patch notes:
- Vehicles sold through special email orders now count toward Steam achievement progress.
- Vehicles sold in installments now count toward Steam achievement progress.
- Vehicles sold via Dealer Contracts now count toward Steam achievement progress.
- Improved wrench animation in Mechanical Repair mode.
Only 2 Weeks Until the Up 2 You DLC Launch!
With the release of Up 2 You DLC getting closer, we'd like to share a few more details about one of the features we teased in our previous devlog.
Last time, we mentioned a brand-new delivery system. It will be tied to an entirely new store offering a special selection of items focused on office space customization.
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44018181/ca0652bd4cb33c8289274e7b7c2474f1259d96b7.png
In addition to changing the appearance of your office, you'll be able to order and place new decorative items throughout the area. This is another step toward giving players more freedom and greater control over how their workspace looks and feels.
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44018181/c5f5f98a9f88ec14f043a4f7594bb24c4c8f52e9.png
Thanks to this system, everyone will be able to give their space a more personal touch and create an environment that best reflects their own vision of building a business in Winston Springs.
See you in the next devlogs!
