Can the new Porsche-DLC cars be found in barns / scrapyard ?

[nobodx]

Basically the title - or are they limited to auctions only like some other dlc vehicles

Found; 1993 PORSCHE 911 Turbo S (964) 3.6, 1993 PORSCHE 911 RS America (964) 3.6 and 2003 PORSCHE Carrera GT in the junkyard so far.

I presume the 2016 PORSCHE 911 Carrera S (991.2) is found only in auctions and the car salon.

You can edit the config file of the cars and have them apprear in any place you want. In my case, I have all DLC cars to apprear in junkyard.

The carerra GT can be found in: Auction, Junkyard and Salon
The 911 Carrera S can be found in: Auction and Salon
The 911 RS can be found in: Auction, Shed and Junkyard
The 911 Turbo S can be found in: Auction, Shed and Junkyard

You can modify all cars config file to make them spawn where ever you want.
Personally, i have set every car in the game to spawn in all places, with the same spawn order. This makes things a lot more random, and you never know what you find when you go out to find your next project.

To do so, go to your install location and dig in to find the cars, usually somewhat like: c:\programfiles (x86)\Steam\Steamapps\Common\Car Mechanic Simulator 2018\cms2018_Data\StreamingAssets\Cars

Find the cars you want to edit, or simply run a search for the word config in the cars folder and open them all.

The line you're looking for looks somewhat like:
allowedPlaces=Order.2,Auction,Shed,Junkyard

If you change all the cars to:
allowedPlaces=Order.1,Auction,Shed,Junkyard,Salon
Then all cars will have the same rarity and can spawn anywhere.

thanks for the detailed answer

If you change modern cars to turn up sheds/junkyard will they be wrecks or will they still be in fairly good condition like at an auction.

Since the "normal" cars can be either on the scrapyard, in barns and on auctions in different states, i'd assume that the modern ones will also be incomplete and broken wrecks

Edit:
as expected, Cars in Scrapyard (even the better ones) are still in a very bad shape
If someone is too lazy to change all the Config-files by hand, there is an option in Notepad++ to search in multiple files for a certain string, and replace it in all

to change it (as infinity Core Suggested) you have to "Find in Files",

Searchstring is
allowedPlaces=Order.[^\r\n]*

Replace by
allowedPlaces=Order.1,Auction,Shed,Junkyard,Salon

Filter
config*.txt

Folder is your "\Car Mechanic Simulator 2018\cms2018_Data\StreamingAssets\Cars"-folder
and Searchmodus is reg expression
