Around town

Everything starts in your garage. Trips take time: far places can’t be done in one day.

Place	What for
Car dealers	Buy cars. Lots come and go; a closing lot has a sale.
Newspaper	Cars and parts from private sellers and rivals. Sell your own car here.
Part dealers	Specialists, speed shops, tyre shops and junkyards. Stock is limited. Mail order has everything, takes 3 days.
Machine shop	On the part dealers’ map. Bore, grind, port: leave the part, it comes back days later.
Gas station	Fuel, oil, a wash. The attendant tells you what’s worn.
Paint booth	New colour. Fix rust and dents first (Repairs).
Go race!	Diners, the street, invitations, Free Run, Test & Tune.
Your cars	Your warehouse. TAKE THIS CAR brings one into the garage.

The Newspaper: private sellers, rivals, parts

A parts shop: what's on the shelves, the clerk at the counter

Selling a car

Press Sell next to the car’s name:

Trade it in at a dealer: cash now, low price.
Put it in the paper: better price, wait for a buyer to call.
Scrapyard: for wrecks.

Talking (optional)

With the AI on (see People who talk back) sellers and salesmen talk to you, you can chat with rivals at the diner and haggle over prices. Without it the game plays the same, only nobody talks back: the junkyard’s Haggle and the buyers who answer your ad still bargain.
