Out of money
I have made the Ford Focus Mission than the Nissan Skyline Mission was the next one.
But at fixing it now im not finished it and have only 50CR left and cant give the car back as far as i have fixied it. Some things are not fixed; i thought i can finish it so... but no.

What to do? Why i cant give it as far as i fixed it; not complete but take the money from what i fixed etc.

Strip the car sell some parts, take a couple of other jobs, finish first when you can afford to, no time limit on jobs.

Take a customer's car, strip it dry, sell the parts. Then you can buy or scavenge them back later to give them their car back, if you remember where you left it...

For the future, always have at least 5k in the bank, 10k even better, including after buying an upgrade. The cost of some of the story jobs ramps up quickly.

How do you run out of money fixing customer cars? I think you need to answer that question, before you ask what to do when you run out of money! After I unlock the Junkyard, I believe at Level 10, I will be a millionaire buy the time I hit Level 11.

Im level 8 had after the Focus Mission 12000CR had upgraded somthing for 5000.
With 7000 left startet the Skyline Mission but that mission had a bunch of body parts to be replaced and short story out of money.

Maybe my letsplay ends here, dont know if its woth the effort.

Save as much money as possible through Levels 1-10, At Level 10, upgrade the Welder and Car Wash ONLY, nothing else! Once the Junkyard is unlocked, buy crappy cars and wash, weld, sell! Rinse and repeat. Save all the money until one of the high-end cars drop in the Junkyard. Completely restore it, sell it, and you're pretty much set! You will be close to a million at this point. Go to Auction, bid a 1 Star, fully restore, and keep going! Everything unlocked, and you didn't have to cheese the game!

You'll be rich pretty quick but in the meantime, only buy what you need right now, no bulk buying parts because you think it will be easier ;-)
Job tips,
Best money in panel repair jobs.
Fluid only jobs net ~10Cr, a waste of time.
Don't take jobs that need paint for now, expensive set up, zero profit on jobs and runs at a loss on your own cars.
Dyno is expensive and not needed for "Tuning Jobs", just a little maths will do.

I spent so much time in CMS '18 just to grind to 150 mil, I Swissed it this go-around. Got all the achievements first. I couldn't Jack myself out of those. Once I was Gouda with that, though, I looked that Swiss right in its eye, and hammed on through.

It's all Cheddar now. Sandbox doesn't have that satisfying "cha-ching!"

I love cheese.

the next job was the bmw sentinel or panther dont know but with; paint it in the roijinal color :D

Are the barn cars more profitable than the Junkyard cars?
Are Oldtimer more profitable than newer cars?

Had earned from a mustang from junkyard 8000 but from a Mitsubishi eclipse only 3500.
welded, washed and completed the interior and bodyparts only.

Barn cars on average need to be 100% to see about 25% net.
A Junkyard car at 100% can bring 50-90% net, depending on warehouse inventory used.
Some Auction cars you can lose on, really need to know the value of what you're bidding on and when to pass.
Vanilla Cars are mostly worth less the older they are, modern sports cars worth the most, until you bring Workshop Mods into the mix, then the gloves are off.

Flipping cars is a respectable business. Max profit builds are in the junk, at the cost of time on the scrounge.
