100% Restored Cars sheet with engine and value infos

[itised83]

Hi !

My final goal on CMS2018 is owning all cars restored at 100% and store them in the parking.

So I thought it could be useful to make a sheet with these car's infos, updating while I'm working on them, because I still haven't found something like this. I've also download and tested all (or most of) the modded cars I've found here, so they'll be in the sheet too (with reference to modders and Steam discussions). Car variants like xTEK, S, F-Mill, SUPERCHARGED and so on will not be on this sheet for now.

Infos include car name (in-game and real), type (original, modded, DLC), engine type, mileage and values (engine, restoration bonus and car total), so you can see what cars are more worth to restore exc. I'll also make cars pics to show my finished works (I nearly never go for liveries, I don't like them).

I've also noticed (if I'm not wrong) that car value also depends from mileage (I've sold four 100% restored RX-7s for 103K and an identical 100% restored RX-7 for 68K... the only difference was the higher mileage). I don't agree with that 'cause if I fully restore an engine it should be the same as new and mileage shouldn't affect car value. But things seems to be like that, so take account of the mileage infos when you evaluate car values (and mileage are often high 'cause I use to buy cars from junkyard or barns and only modern cars from auctions).

I hope it could help some of you and let me know opinions and something wrong, if there is.

Here's the sheet:

I'm working on it now, so don't worry if you see something moving ;)

Thanks!

Neat, thanks for that. :)

I have done something similar. I track the cars I restore and retain the lowest mileage ones. When I go to the junkyard or auction, I check the mileage against what I already have in parking. My attempt is to rebuild and keep the lowest mileage cars I can find.

Nothing as intense as yours however.

If you are talking about an sheet with car values, then it kind of already exists: https://steamcommunity.com/app/645630/discussions/0/1470841715943422160/

I say "kind of" because it's not 100% accurate as a ton of updates have changed the values of cars and other economic stuff in this game and this one you're doing includes modded cars aswell.

Correct. Values decrease the bigger milage an car has, which I also don't agree with.

I like the work you're doing and encourage you to keep going. Always good to have an nice reference sheet to see the car values.

Car's price also heavily depends on tires you've set on it.
For example you changes the tires from sport to slick -> value goes up.
You changes the tires from 15'' to 17'' low profile -> value goes up again.

Yeah I saw it, it's a good work and is useful to compare different restores of a same car, but I found it a little bit confusing too.

I've found 2 Dollar values for a 100% restored Dodge Charger, I just fixed up 6 I'd been collecting.

185,412 km - $110,340
186,467 km - $110,340
207,376 km -- $73,560
260,912 km -- $73,560
319,276 km -- $73,560
349,805 km -- $73,560

Anything below (I would guess) 200,000 km is going to net you another $36,780 on that model of car. Considering the parts cost the same and you'll spend a similar amount of time reparing it, regardless of distance on the Odometer, look for lower distance vehicles to earn more money.

It doesn't seem to be a very sophisticated value model in game. The developers might to better by having a maximum $ value for each car at 100% and 0 distance and then reduce it by small increments for every additional 20,000km on the clock down to a minimum $ value.

My PC is under repair so work on the sheet stopped, I hope it'll be a question of 1 or 2 days at most.

Thanks

[itised83]

PC issues seem not to be fully solved but it works... updated list with new DLC Jeep cars.

[Spectre_Actual]

How much did you get for the Katsumoto?

[itised83]

$ 30,338 as you can see in the sheet. Very disappointing, even if mileage is over 200k. I've also just added Mayen M6: $70,257. Disappointed too, I've expected much better (mileage is under 200k).

[Spectre_Actual]

It said $0 for me. I made $48,000 on mine.

[itised83]

Updated with 2 MOD cars (taken from junkyard or barn)

[itised83]

Just added some cars. Last was Dodge Charge Fate of the Furious modded by Gollywog. Bought for about 120k at junkyard, value at 100% is more than... 1.5 millions :D Maybe a little bit overpriced? :P

Did you base the real car names on the pictures in the main post of the real car names mod?

The thread is worth a read. Alot of critisims on which car is which criticize the choices made in the original post. For example I think the rino piccolo is an fiat panda an not an VW UP.
This makes more sense due to the only paint job for the piccolo being an italian flag stripe.
