how to sell vehicles in realistic mode

[Foweraind]

every time I try to sell a vehicle, I have to pay for the vehicle to be taken to the scrap yard, making only a loss, and I can't manage to make a profit, I think I have to put the vehicle at the border, but I can't do it go there, how do I sell vehicles, trains, boats and planes

vehicles need to be brand new to be sold. They can only be moved with flatbeds or train. The moment you make them drive around you cant sell them anymore. If you want to make get rid of them without paying, you need to build a scrapyard to deconstruct the vehicles. Don't forget to check the box to get raw materials from it otherwise you'll only get scrap which is less valuable.

I have an export line for vehicles.
If I want to get rid of a vehicle I send it to the vehicle storage and sell it as used.

Since I have a scrap yard I send em there instead.

Meanwhile it works automatically.

This used to be true, but now used vehicles can be carried to a customs house or "beyond the borders" by another vehicle. Most vehicles can be collected from their depot or place of work by a truck or you can just send them to a "space for vehicles" and have another vehicle load them from there and take them to customs or "beyond the borders."

Aircraft and ships can be sold used by sending them to a depot (pad/dock) and then setting them on a line with a stop at "beyond the borders" set to "nothing."

Aircraft and ships that you make at a factory have an option in the factory to be automatically sold to beyond the borders (if there is a path), while road and railway vehicles need to be carried or towed to customs or carried to beyond the borders to be counted as "new."
