Game BERAKING Junkyard prices - are Bugged | My Garage | Page 1

I dont have a picture to add but On 3 separate instances of purchasing junk yard cars the value of each car has dropped as soon as I purchased the car. Ok sure whatever. Then once I have the car back at my garage I begin cleaning the car getting 5 stars. I go to check the price and it has now dropped again.

So to lay it out

I purchased a Bart for $2450 at the junkyard

I then got it towed to my garage where the value suddenly dropped to $1700. Mind you this was before towing, it dropped as soon as I purchased the car.

Then I began to wash the car, I got 5 stars of clean but the value then dropped to $1200

Now this has occurred with 2 other cars since I last played yesterday. I am unable to make any money if car loose so much value, even when fixing them!

#

To add, My game is purely vanilla, and this "bug" was not occuring 3 days ago as I was using this strategy to fix up cars on a baisc level and sell for a decent profit. But now Instead of a $1000-$4000 profit I am loosing thosands of dollars despite getting multiple stars in rust, clean state, and color condition

Having this issue as well, even with removing mods, and trying a fresh install.

Pictures taken before and immediately after buying.

Thank you! I have been waiting patiently to see if others have the same issue. This is a big deal cause now we cant make money. I have since stopped playing :/

#

Since it happened with the bart with you as well, I wonder if it only affects the Bart? I will do some testing tommorrow and see

The first thing is not actually an issue (Price dropping after buying it - This is intended), the second drop is indeed a bug.

I almost figured the first drop price isnt a bug, but a part of the game. But correct me If im wrong, Is it always supposed to slash the price in half? I remmeber last car I bought was a jesse for $7400, and I wanted to turn it for a quick profit and it dropped to $4200 after purchase. These seems like a flawed system. Not much praccticality in gameplay wise other than being more of a chore. idk Im probably mistaken or somthing...

It should lose a bit of valuve, but 56% is wayy too much. Seems to be broken too then...

knotty rivet Mar 30, 2024, 7:11 PM

#

Yes exactly, the problem lies within how much value is lost, and my testing shows consistant loss of close to or more than 50% value. Im suprised others arent facing this issue?

So I just tried to replicate the Bug about 6 times, I couldnt replicate it. So acutally car DO NOT drop in value when you buy them. all 6 cars I bought did in fact NOT drop at all, so the dropping prices are a bug

#

Guess its just a random bug that can happen, but doesnt happen often enought to replicate it

Im doing some testing rn and putting it in an excel sheet. So far Ive had a few 1-2% price drops, and then some 50-56% ones as well. Gonna try to find out if there’s a way to reproduce it

#

Ok great, good stuff. Those numbers seem consistent with what I have experienced so far.

foggy heart Mar 30, 2024, 8:34 PM

#

My first batch of tests were on my normal save with no mods. I'll have to do another set of tests with the infinite money mod to make it faster lol

#

#

#

Couldn't seem to consistently reproduce the issue, I'm not great with tech stuff, but tried variations of quicksaving, loading, exiting game, etc.

#

Your testing seems effective, some of those net changes of cost are quite high

#

So quick calcuation we are looking at on average a 33% loss on all junkyard purchases

#

Im guessing this is intended by the develouper? althought some cases like 50% loss and higher seem too high so that may be a bug

Why would they lose value upon purchase intentionally that is not how used cars work at all

foggy heart Apr 3, 2024, 5:56 PM

#

Agreed, I know it’s not supposed to be a hyper realistic game, but used cars don’t lose much of any value when purchased. Should only be new cars, since traditionally they do lose value off the lot

#

Id be okay with up to like 10% loss, but that would still be a stretch. It makes the rust and paint renovations barely worth doing

knotty rivet Apr 3, 2024, 8:40 PM

#

So ive been playing alot more latley, and the average is 10% change which is totally playabel

#

I guess the complaint is when the off chance its a 50% loss or greater, I just quit the game without saving and reload

sharp oriole Apr 4, 2024, 11:42 AM

#

There shouldn't be a change though that's not how used cars work

i have definately in real life seen someone over pay for a car. i assumed that this was just a game mechanic.
Edit:yeah nah, now its happening constantly where it drops by more than 50% and i end up breaking even if im lucky

knotty rivet Apr 4, 2024, 9:52 PM

#

Yep the more than 50% is whats the big issue.

#

seems like a quick fix by adjusting numbers

I reckon that you could tell which ones will drop in value based on condition:price ratio or something

#

Ok I fixed this on test version.
