We have enhanced the negotiation mechanics to provide a challenging experience for experienced car flippers and beginners. These new mechanics will test your bargaining skills and strategic thinking like never before. Let's take a closer look at what's in store for you. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44018181/da2eaa10d055e152172e358fda7bacec2fcb1faa.gif[/img] [b]Dice, Deals, and Drama [/b] Negotiations are about to get intense. Whether buying or selling, every move you make will have consequences. Our new system adds a layer of unpredictability - sometimes, it’s all about rolling the dice. But don’t worry, it’s not just luck that’s at play; your skills and strategy will make all the difference. [b]NPC Archetypes: Know Your Opponent [/b] NPCs come in different flavors, each with their own quirks and negotiation styles: [list] [*] Honest Dealers: Straight shooters are likelier to give you a break in negotiations. [*] Smarties: Slick talkers who might try to hide a defect or two but are still willing to haggle. [*] Experts: These guys are tough cookies with keen eyes for flaws and a low tolerance for BS. [/list] Your negotiation strategy will need to adapt depending on who you're dealing with - so choose your words (and offers) wisely!

We've introduced an irritation system that, using animation, shows just how close your counterpart is to losing their cool. Push them too far, and the deal’s off! But don’t worry, you’ve got a few tricks up your sleeve to keep things civil - crack a joke, offer some candy, or maybe even a coffee. Just remember, timing is everything!

Find any hidden flaws? Use them to your advantage in the negotiation! Discovering a defect might give you the leverage to knock a few more bucks off the price. [b]Dynamic Deals: Buying and Selling [/b] Negotiations aren’t just for buying; selling your cars will also require some serious negotiation chops. Whether you’re dealing with an amateur, an intermediate buyer, or a seasoned expert, their ability to spot issues and their negotiation tactics will vary. Your reputation is on the line, so make sure your ads are truthful - or be prepared to face the consequences!

You’ll need to read your opponent, manage their irritation, and play your cards right to come out on top. We can’t wait to see how you guys leverage these systems to score the best deals (or face hilarious failures). Stay tuned for more updates and remember to add the free Prologue to your wishlist! — The Garage Monkeys Team 🚗💨 https://store.steampowered.com/app/3115010/Car_Dealer_Simulator_Prologue__Early_Days [url=https://discord.gg/gGEb4EpkGU][img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44018181/ac6ee872ce44139f01fa02c5dcfb4b72ebbf7dfc.gif[/img][/url]
