Exp Slow To Earn

[Coffin Operator]

Hey guys, I got this game in the hopes of putting it up on my YouTube channel. I was hoping to cut corners because I really wanted to showcase the new car auction mode but I didn't realize it would require a ton of Experience points to upgrade anything.

Like I said, I enjoy the game and I understand cheating undermines the point of the game, but I'm doing so in order to get to the more "juicy" bits for my YouTube videos.

I'm not looking to 100% the game in 7 seconds, I'm just looking to unlock the parking section quickly so I can get to car auctions faster. In fact, ideally for the series I had in mind, I'd like to unlock the paint shop, test track, and parking lot, but stay with almost no money so I have to work my way up to those things.

I don't think anyone would sit through about 300 videos of simple repairs while I build up the needed exp to start restoring cars.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out.

There is no REAL way to jump ahead quick, so your going to have to try this, to get the XP points up faster I say not only fix the car, but also dissasembly and re-assembey the entire suspention only (gets to be too much for the entire car). This will get your xp up a bit quicker. Once you get it up to a thousand, get a tool for trouble shooting, like the OBD, ot compression test, or electricmeter. Do this untill you have all three meters. Then tak in any job and just do it the job only, money will get moving in and XP will get up better. Seems once you have the testing tools, all seems to go faster I sopose.

But if you want something more instant, your not going to get it..

how ever there is a post on how to rip off your customers, maybe that is more what you want..

you can't skip. you need 9000xp and $50k to start auctions and that doesn't account for the cost of buying cars and the cost to restore them.


to put it simply you can easily take off the battery 4500 times then put it back on another 4500 times and you will quiickly net the 9000 xp needed. but you will still need the money. so unless you have some kind of cheat engine that will give you the money at the start you still have to sit there and click the battery 9000 times either way if you want it so fast.


you can easily net like 1500-2000 xp per day if you play lots of hours per day which would mean you will have the 9000 xp in less than a week. but you will still need to wait a few more days for the cash. if your only playing a couple of hours per day expect to take somewhere around a month before you can showcase the game on your youtube channel so you better get started.

unless of course you have a cheat engine (if one even exists).

if your looking to make lots of cash in a hurry without cheating then look at my guide:

Lol, alright guys. Thanks for the very insightful replies, and I have to seriously laugh at that how to rip people off guide. I may not play crooked for awhile, but it's nice to have the know-how if the option arises!

I'm really glad you mentioned the required money as well. That's quite a lot of money required, and so I would've still been SOL having gotten myself a parking lot and everything.

I'll just keep taking a crack at the game as I play between videos on my channel, and I'm sure I'll get there eventually. Since posting I've just about hit 2,000 exp so it may not take as long as I had once thought it would. Thank you again guys for the help!

Who would want to take a battery off and on 450 times? I just took off front and rear suspension compleatly as well as fixed the car. I am balenced out, I have all my trouble shooter tools, and now just doing the repaire job only and moving up fast, I didn't need to steal from customers you know...So don't knock it....

BTW...
You really put up a guide on how to rip off customers?...amazing.....

the battery is a part that can be easily taken off and put back on without wasting too much time but it does get boring after a while. i did it to get like 200 xp once and it didn't take too long. now i already have 12,000 xp so i don't need to do it but for someone looking to farm alot of xp quickly the battery is the place to do it so long as you don't get bored.

What I am saying is this...

Is for each part that you take off is 1 xp added.

For each part you install/re-install is 1 xp added

Some parts to take off or put on it is 2 xp added. So for each suspension part I take off is another 1 xp. So if I take off 50 xp worth of parts, I have to put thoses same parts back on, that is a 50+ xp now added making it 100+ xp added. Then you have the famouse Red Dot curve ball, this is a wild card part that may show or may not show. The suprise part that is not in the list as bad. You know like for real, car comes in for a brake job and they find out the water pump is also bad after inspections. finding this kind of like a xp boost. So I have that added to what xp I get on the car job.

Now once you get the trouble shooting tools. The price pay out becomes more, and so dose the xp points, because once you release the car, not only do you get paid, but also more xp points.
By the time I get the OBD tool and compression gage I just do the jobs, because now payouts and xp points begain to go up quicker. next thing you know, I have the electrical tool and once my money gets up to about 17 or 18,000 I am getting the brake and shake room. without ripping off customers and poundin a battery only. It worked best for me, I am in no rush, there are no levels in this game, it is not a race. It is endless mode right out of the gate. I cycle 3 cars at one time, And I can do a honest job with out ripping off customers..as for feeling bored, that is a "YOU thing", sounds like you have to deal with your own "you thing"......

If you want to gain XP fast, optimal way to do this is to take short jobs since for fully compleating the job you get 100 XP. As pointed out in previous posts, you get 1 XP for each dismounting and mountounting of a part. Since the last patch, repairing the parts grants you some XP as well.

But have in mind that in order to buy parking you need 50000 of game currency, most of the cars in auction house are sold for 8000-15000 (some models are more expensive) and you need to have about additional 20000 in reserve to fully repair car you bought. So you need to have about 80000+ of game currency in order deal own cars.

So I do not recommend grinding XP, do normal jobs you would do and after some time you should collect neccessary amount of both money and XP after some time.

I got to 9000+xp easily within two days of playing (probably 5 hours a day) without ripping customers off.
If you know what you are doing, take on bigger jobs, as you get one xp for each part replaced, and it adds up in the end, plus the xp fro completing it, and now you get XP for repairing parts on the workbench, so it should be easier than when I tried it.

I got 3000 xp in 3 hours , how ? grinding jobs , i have a little bit of knowledge about mechanics and it helps but all u have to do is grind , when you reach 1000 xp buy the fast unbolting upgrade , it saves a lot of time especially when taking off wheels , also the next thing to buy is the obd tester , that gives some xp so try to do it on every car , been playing since 11pm , its 2:10 am now , lets see how much i get until i go to bed :D Cheers and GL


EDIT : Stopped playing at 4:30 am and i got 4341xp :D

[gelatoman1]

Wait, does the parking really cost game money or just xp?

[Shane]

not sure if its allowed but can you not use someones profile, all you need is the savefile data, i am assuming that would work anyway... beyond you being called someone else lol

or contact devs, its in their interest too make use of your channel as promotion... they may provide all the assistance you require and unlimited funds who knows....

To the people who posted me some helpful advice, thank you! However, I started this topic back in April, and I'm happy to say I just went ahead and started a short series on the game, and eventually off-screended some jobs until I unlocked auctions after featuring 3 or 4 customer jobs. I unlocked auctions and purchased a Maluch and fully restored it on camera.

Sadly, the series wasn't drawing many views, and so I have not continued the LP. I don't like to self promote all that much but if you are interested in taking a look at the videos you can find them here:

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLflMwjCVgp6F9S4qpvsHpbb_SxsQxFnrK

Again, thank you to everyone who offered up some help. I wish I had of thought of e-mailing the devs, because as I said, I stopped this LP because it seemed most of my subscribers were watching other series and little interest was developed for CMS 2015. Had I contacted the devs, maybe it could have been different.

Hmm funny thing is I read 90% of these posts.. Seriously? I see no point in taking something off like the battery that many times for xp on one car? ya xp for sure but where is the money that goes with it. Might have missed something in there.. There is no real quick way to get what you want other than your time and how fast you are or your pc. My advice do not worry to much about the parking lot and auction until you are really ready. Yes it does make the most money per car but involves the most work. Go work on those cars that you can. The repair tool is a must. repair everything you can. work on cars you can either do quickly or are the most involved. Nothing like ripping the engine down for one conrod 'Piston" lol gives lots of xp and those jobs usualy net you good money.. Bottom line it just takes time. Paint shop is really not important until you really need it .. single paint jobs only net you 500 but its fast. Being able to repair the body parts much better deal. So ya repair tool first... Tablet before the others. I made the mistake of getting the tablet last.. Saves so much time and time is money and xp.

Your own experience is a huge factor. =easy one is auction car complete uninstall, repair/replace = 100% in less than 20 min. I guess it comes down to how you want to play. I wanted to learn it all so I basicaly took most things apart.. The other tools are helpful to identify problems but they do not find everything. But no matter in really a short time as this games goes you will have everything you need. and be off to the auction.

I love this game its so relaxing
