restoration bonus

[Tri]

I bought car an auction for 43k $ - Mayen M6 - all have 100% only parts 63% and have 180k km

how many I may get the cash for full restoration to 100% approximately?

10k$? maybe 50k$?

In my experience the auctions tend to end up selling you the car for close to what you'd get after restoring it. Individual results vary depending on luck, but usually not worth it as an income generator in my opinion. I much prefer the junkyard.

But it is a way to get a car to restore for your personal collection that has a 100% body before you unlock the welder.

Best guide to answer the question as long as it's a vanilla or DLC car

If it's modded, that will be a surprise.

Worth adding that if you get a good chunk of parts at 63%, those will fit nicely into repair jobs for which you will be paied nicely. So you'll make money anyway

ok thanks for guide

so for make money on level about ~20lvl is better restorating car from bown or junkyard not from auctions?

It depends on how many parts you have to buy for the junker, as it will be missing most of its parts. That is, have you scavanged/repaired parts in your own storage or do you have to buy everything.

As opposed to auction car which all-there or very close, and also in a condition which is highly repairable.

its not fair doing repairing almost whole car about 1 hour or more and get only ~10k $

2-3 normal jobs in 15 minutes give me 10k :/

Long time I haven't played the game, but if I remember correctly, at the levels you state, you don't have yet access to the tool allowing you to fully restore interior + chassis and body parts right ? (body parts not beeing a problem because you can buy them, and painted or not does not make a difference in selling price)

The good thing with auction, you can actually put your hands on very fine to 100% chassis.

In barns, you then have to understand the various bars that will indicate what is what (chassis, interior, body parts, and parts, but again haven't played since a long time). If you do understand that nicely, you can here get your hands on decent interior and chassis, but never 100%

In junkyard, the chassis and interiors will be in terrible shape.
The thing is, you make most money from restoring the chassis and interior, as it costs $1000 for getting back the chassis to 100% and $100 for interior.
Usually then, the result of those 2 actions is raising the value and your benefits just on the completely empty shell near to or as high as the price you paied for the whole junk car. You then restore parts, use parts you restored from junkyard (gearboxes and such) and there again you make a benefit from those parts.

So to me, the highest incomes may come from :
#1 A full junkyard restoration
#2 A Full barn find restoration
#3 A partially restored barn find
#4 A full auction restoration

What many peeps usually forget from auctions again, is the money they will make easy from the non 100% parts that can be used in various jobs, that recoup the lower income from the restoration.

Depends on what type of parts you use to replace, performance or normal parts. In my experience, equipping performance parts on cars will gain higher profit than normal parts when selling them (higher investment = higher profit, if you know what i mean). And this also applies to tires. Slicks give out the most profitable.

Like others said, doing this(restoration) to a junkyard car would be more profitable because you spend lower than getting an almost completed car. To me, auctions are just to get hands on new cars as junkyard and barns only give you old cars.
