From my experience, strip the whole exterior. Buy the whole exterior. Weld frame, wash interior and exterior. Consider adding expensive parts that are fast to add (gearbox).
I made some quick cash pretty easily by buying cars for around 3-5k at junkyard, washing them, using the welder on them and you can turn a profit by just doing that. I made 25k in 10 min.

Great information, thanks for this! And thank you for getting right to the point and NOT artificially padding this to 10 minutes like so many other videos do just so it will run a second ad.
I do full car rebuilds now, mainly from the salvage auctions (i've noticed 3 star conditions are the sweet spot) and it made me about 700k in 4 days. They get a bit repetitive after a while but I think it's fun to do.
@@CrypticFoxGaming obviously yeah, i’d say the story orders give you a decent bit of variety and the levels to unlock the skill point required to max out repair skills.
For me it was the +25% cr orders that gave me the money and xp in the beginning. I once had to sell my inventory to complete a repair, but at the end they paid me 35,000 cr for it. Yes it was one of the random not story orders. Full car rebuilds are worth more profit in this game.
You would expect to find crumpled messes in the junk yard, but somehow in this game you have incredibly neat drivers who only total there car through neglect.

Fast way to get xp = order a car to work on. Have it in the. Parking bay. Switch to inspection mode. Inspect all sections (each gives 1 xp). Get rid of car without any repairs and rinse and repeat. Each car gives about 80 xp. You’re welcome
@@mccoyisthebest Its used to upgrade parts. There's a workbench thing you can unlock behind the shop that lets you spend the scrap to make parts 1, 2, or 3 star quality. With performance parts it boosts the performance impact, and with normal parts it boosts the value.
Idk if anyone has ever been in a shop before but using solvent on a part and seeing one come back to life is an amazing experience. If you want to know how bad solvent is tho wash your hands in it with latex gloves. When i was in school we washed our hands in it all the time before going to lunch then a kid showed us that and some didnt care and others decided to walk across the shop to use the sink instead.
I would say instead of repair branch you would want to go for "25% chance to get box" talent. In the same way you will get discounts on parts + talent to see sell price of a car that you going top buy. Then you just grind exhaust/fluids replacements for boxes. get a bunch of barn maps. go to the barns and find that quite often ppl sell barn cars below the price. usually you can get at lest 3-4k extra per car resold without literally doing anything. also there is always another box in the barn so you buy it for 200$ as well (for extra maps and extra EXP to level up)
@@CrypticFoxGaming i mean you have 25% chance to get box - so quick under 1 minute orders are the best to get as many boxes as possible. then it's just opening boxes for sweet exp and barn maps XD
I have to agree at least generally with you here. He must be missing the important thing. Grinding until you can do full repairs will take the same amount of time as grinding until you can have a chance to find a box when you finish an order. The significant differences are pretty major though. At top tier every part you buy you pay 15% less for. That goes straight to the bottom line. An example he seems to have missed is batteries. Very few cars you get from anywhere will have a battery. That cost goes does to 144cr once top tier discount is applied. A new battery automatically adds around 300cr to value. I know that doesn't sound like much, but early on when you drop 7000cr for a junkyard dog then wash it down then put in a battery and resale for 9000cr you start to see the worth. Maybe most important is by top tier you can also see what you can expect to make in profit for the simplest turnaround. But this figure has proven to be far lower than what I can do even just doing small touch ups. And this leads to maybe the main thing he seems to have missed. I have found MOST times, not every time but VERY often, if I buy anything except a Standard build as long as it shows I will make profit, I can make a nice profit just by buying it and taking it home. I just spent 21000cr on a Reptilia with one of the special builds and immediately sold it for 28000cr. Did nothing except click to sale. No clean up, no welding, no repairs. I guess the fact that I recovered it from a barn sparked someone to grab it from me. The play I am doing with the repairs coming before the money line has never allowed me to do that. If we want to compare grinding issues, which is more grindy. Repairing parts for marginal profits or an automatic 15% profit while holding on to all those repair equipment costs until later? My money is with you on the way to go being climb the money ladder first. Even 5% day one while doing orders is worth a lot more than repairs sometime in the future.
@@Istalior And this is the second thing he has missed or discounted for importance. Those boxes have only 5 things you can get from them and you will get 2 things with every box. I went to the junkyard buying cheap turnarounds, grabbing barn maps then when I got several maps, barns only and boxes only. A single grind of a couple hours had me visit 14 barns, collect well over 2 levels exp, a LOT of scrap and a decent amount of CR. In fact, I made more CR than I spent getting lifts to the barns and buying the boxes. They ended up only costing me 170cr each. I was often getting over 400cr from opening a box and still some other item in that box. All the scrap I considered just extra laid away for the future when I start tuning. And without the need to grind scraping the parts to get that much. Win-win.
Fun fact I know it’s late but if you have time to take the car underneath off you can repair it all including wheels and some small stuff but the knuckles, driveshaft, gearbox, leaf plates, u bolts all can be fixed it’s don’t cost nearly as much as a new part
As another comment mentioned. Here is what I found. 1.) Buy cheap junkyard cars. The 2,000 to 10,000 range. 2.) Wash the interior, and exterior. 3.) Use the welder to fix the body. 4.) Repair/replace all body panels, headlights, windows, etc 5.)Repair the car with brake/suspension parts just enough to mount all four tires. 6.) Buy the most expensive Rims, and tires. Tire size is 520/90/R25, slick tire B or C, Rim size 25 with ET of 200. I found the Rim Huayra Tempesta to be the most expensive. Mount and sell the car. I found it costs around 40,000 to 50,000 per car. With the average profit around 20,000. This isn't all that much, but it takes 5 to 10 minutes for the whole project.
As a mechanic, it triggers me to see the the air duct and water pump installed first! Not even mentioning letting that car go with a shitty suspension! hehe
@@Momofamlly not that bad, actually.. It is a exaggerated view of it, sure.. But it is pretty much spot on! I would add couple of things to feel more authentic but that's just me 😅
2:50 I paid $9,632 for my Ribbsan Starline, put in as much tuning parts as possible for a 46.61% increase in tuning, cost me $29,874 for all the parts and repairs. In total I spent $49,506(including the cost of the car) and can sell it for 85,748 so a $36,242 profit. I always make sure all my parts are 100% for the condition bonus.
Yeah you’ll make the best money by fully repairing the car but you can make fast cash by just flipping junkers with minor fixes. Works even if you don’t have the money for a full rebuild
It is much faster and more profitable to do exhaust, brakes and transmission work. I did this until I had money to restore the cars, which is the fun of the game for me. Today my save is $900k
Replacing the engine block and gear box are quick money, also cars that have bad body panels and no tires. Replace the panels, weld, put on new tires and you get a quick little return.
I would also try & Unlock all the discount row first to save spending money , It even helps when spending at the junkyard , Also Restore a player owned mod car without painting it and check the car value , Then spend $1000 to paint the same player owned mod car and then check the mod car value , Before & After the paint job the mod car value is the same , So you lose out on a $1000 , If you are going to resell a mod car I would just fix it up and not paint , It's not worth losing $$$$$$ .
So my advice to get to the point you can do the things he doing for good money is take exclusively gearbox and exhaust jobs. Super fast to complete, and if you get the 25% credit multiplier ive made 15k profit on a gearbox job that took me 5 mins. With those 2 types of jobs, even if the parts are not discovered, its a limited amount of components.
@@CrypticFoxGaming True, but not too much. I'm only level 10 and I think i got access to them at around 7ish. And if you buy all the testers early its a good way to level quickly in the beginning. test everything on every car. Even if you're only filling fluids.
It's good and I don't want to sound like I am hating, but I think you are missing the boat with this build. I tried this and I tried going the money line. Once I could do junkyard I collected barn maps until I could do barns. Once I started barns I ended up doing 14 back to back because there is a 1 in 5 chance to get a new box in every box you find in the barn. AND, a 1 in 5 chance to get another barn map. And a chance to get scrap, exp or cr if you miss those. In 14 maps I went up a couple levels, ended up with more money than I started with and got a lot of scrap. You were not to the point where barns were possible yet you you could say that would be smarter for later, but your system works best for earlier. But turning junkyard cars early for chump change is basically what you are doing, just do more and fond those barn maps so when you can go, you make real money. I have checked, while you can make good bank by replacing bad parts with good, you make the same if you replace them with new bought parts except using the money build you earn a higher rate. I have found that any part you can not use so must sale you will make exactly 1cr more than it cost you. I don't care to grind for a 1cr profit.
@@CrypticFoxGaming I have spent hours watching these videos thinking whether or not i should get the game, since i dont have a series X rn but only a one s and it might have fps problems
@@obtainedlight4745 Yeah I'm afraid I don't know how it performs on xbox as I haven't tried it. I've been playing on PC. It seems to be pretty well optimized but I don't know for sure.
Best way to do this is method is to get the value estimate perk, it shows you how much the car is worth to resell before you upgrade anything. It avoids buying a car like the first car he bought that has a negative value upong bringing it home
I clocked up over 800 hrs gameplay on cms 2018 so i play this almost exactly the same, cant help but make sure i do everything on the cars that needs doing lol hate part doing jobs. I have clocked up over 300k cr now so i am happy. nice vid mate. Just subbed
I don't bother with the engine normally. I pull off all of the crappy body parts, re-panel the car, buy new interior and install it then sell it (I like giving a courtesy paint but it doesn't add to the overall value). You can also buy all of the replacement reservoirs, battery, ecu (if applicable), brake servo, radiator assembly, fuel tank and fuel pump which adds a nice chunk, especially beneficial if you have either a warehouse full of repaired junk or have the maximum 15% discount on spares. I wish in this game that you could buy body shells for a total kit build, perhaps ones that aren't available in the Junkyard, Barn or Auction (just a thought Red Dot).
yeah I mean there's a lot you could replace. You can make fast cash by doing nothing other than washing and welding though really. Buy car, wash, weld, sell for $5k to $10k profit, repeat. Super low effort and quick money.
Just want to add something here. It is worth it to fix the front and back suspension. I made 20k just from doing the suspension on one car. So i did a full resto on another one and ended up selling it for 95k. And that was with buying all the parts new because i hadnt bought antlyrhing for the shop to fix parts. If you are looking to to pull some money fast, and you have about 15-20k to spare a suspension job will get your pockets fat. I dont think i had that much money on me, but i did go from about 7k to 27k just on full suspension rebuild. Honestly the cheaper the car the better. You're going to be gutting it anyways. I typically do this method on the older cars. I also did a partial suspension rebuild on a Ribssan z530, both front rear, i think i turned like 7-10k on that. Dont be afraid to test ideas out either, there might be a nitch jist doing exteriors or something, im newer to the game so idk.
Save up 20K, buy a car do as much as possible. Body work is better. Sell for profit and then do it again slowly doing more to each car. Then once you can start restoring a lot of parts do so. It took my 2 hours to do it. So easy
I thi k you can fix some of the rims too, i also recommend stripping the repairable parts and i recommend getting the perk where you can tell the value too.
While this is useful i feel like its pretty end game. Your skills and unlocks are very high. Do you have tips for earlier in the game to get through the boring grind of replacing brakes?
My unlocks were pretty high, but that's not super relevant to this approach. You just need to be more mid-tier for this. The early game is just a grind. Until you can start buying cars from the junkyard and washing/fixing some parts you pretty much have to do customer jobs to earn some scratch and the xp you need to level up a bit.
Don't underestimate the condition bonus and the performance parts bonus. Having everything at 100% can net you 15k-20k CR easy. Also, often you can do much of what you've done here, but instead of repairing the parts & putting them back on the car, you can swap them out for performance parts (if you have the money to invest in them) and you make a ton that way for more or less the same effort. 5k profit for a car flip is pretty low... 30k+ is easily attainable if you use the performance parts and try and get everything to 100%.
@@CrypticFoxGaming Honestly, I think it's worth spending the extra effort in doing it - your money/time ratio is much higher. If you're starting from 32k, that's more than enough to do the lot. First car I refurbed I had 262 CR left at the end, and I sold it for 162,375 CR. Sold my grandmother to re-do that car lol.
I am new to the game and have a vehicle that needed some heavy repairs. It has the I3 engine and last thing I need to install is the engine cover and it won't let me install it. I'm not missing any parts
Not sure what to tell you. Is it showing the shadow image for the engine cover? If so, double-check that you have the correct cover and didn't accidentally pick up the wrong one.
This may sound crazy but I get every part i can from the junk yard or barn find. Go back to the garage, and fix it all up. Then sell it. I've made bank :D Like, I don't even take orders at this point lmao. I only enjoy rebuilding my own cars / auctioning off cars. I'm in the process of restoring a old gti, i fixed up everything / bought everything that needed to be bought. I'll have to keep it sadly, it looks too nice lol.
@@CrypticFoxGaming yeah, I agree 🤣. Im more so doing it in hopes of a barn find. Which so far I've only got 1 barn find map. I like your method better though, definitely easier to make money your way 🤣. Less of a headache
@@KanekiAtOtaku Once you get enough money the big bucks are definitely in fully rebuilding and selling the cars, but its a good way to build up enough money to do that :)
@@CrypticFoxGaming agreed 😄. Just fully rebuilt a GTI and a AE86 and made about 100k. Very rewarding tbh. Anywho, thanks for replying to me, I hope you have a wonderful week 😊
I do the complete opposite of what he does and I always get about 10k profit. If you strip the suspension and tires and make them all 80% or higher then you get more.
If you are real desperate memorise what models sell for what price in junk condition Then only buy for below that at the junkyard then do little bits like exterior interior and chassis leave mechanical you can make up to a 10k profit on that alone
Get the DLC electrical vehicles. Get 10% discount in the shop also. Scary the profit you can get fixing some of the EV with Battery/Engine problems. To build money up to get the cash reserves up whilst doing customer orders. Handy hint it is also very very boring but examine every car part by part and also buy all testers gets you on average an extra 120-200xp per vehicle.
@@DEATHbyDECIBEL well a good one to make money just washing it, but you can grab almost any car and using the welder on it significantly improves the value
How to make money fast in any game: 1. Realize the reason you're asking is that you're so tired of the game that your best of solutions would be cheating. 2. Put the game aside for a while. 3. Get back in a far more enjoyable game. You'll now earn money without even thinking about it.
so this game is kinda like trial and error as beginner right? cos im new to this game wanted to try out the series since 2018 one but never had the money to buy and now i do, so is this game easy or just annoying to learn or something?
Well the early jobs are simple and as you level up the game gives you more complex customer work. Once you get familiar with the game it’s really not hard.
I play the 2018 version the way to make your car worth a lot money is don’t put in standard parts go for the high performance parts. I have cars worth 139,000
@@CrypticFoxGaming Well repair cars first that's how I did it. To build up money. You build your business repair cars then go buy cars and put high-performance parts in the cars
@@studiomanhud8945 lol you're kind of missing the point. This is just a suggested way for peopel to get money fast. Customer orders are a good start, but you can speed up the money progress by flipping junkers from the junkyard
@@CrypticFoxGaming No, I'm not missing a point do the right way. Like running a business. You can build up a lot if get the right ones to repair which I figure out. Get 31,000 car repairs.
In early game i have little money so i turned off travel costs in options to save the 500 cost. It eats a big chunk of profit if you pay 500 travel plus 500 for welder plus 100 for valeting. Also i failed to repair one engine part which meant i lost it and therefore could not put rest of engine parts back on car unless i bought a new part. i guess i should only repair parts that i know will have a high chance of working.
Bit more to be honest. Same basic game mechanics but now when repairing parts there’s a mini game you have to play to repair as opposed to just spamming the button
I only have 40 dollars and I ran out of money mid fix and I can’t put everything back then sell it’s because it won’t let me I need to fully fix it and it had 3 pages worth of problems that weren’t discovered and I have to find them and it was fast with tools but I’m missing more still
Only thing you can try to do is take customer jobs. Could even take a customer job and just completely strip the car and sell all the parts. You won’t be able to complete the job till you rebuild it though :)
So, you became THAT kind of shady mechanic! lol You know how you could make that better? Find the same car as a job car, take ALL the good parts of the job car and put them on the junker then sell it. After that, the job car is just a detail and you don't need to bother with it! lol EDIT: Just looked at a site to see if I could run it, and I'm missing 48mb of GPU to run it. It take 2.48 GB and I have a 2GB card. lol
That's why I own Consoles. You only have to update software then . I use to own a gaming computer but got sick of always having to update after 3 years. Computers are a black hole.
@@jayson8118 That's a really simplistic way to look at a computer. IF you were always having to upgrade it was because you were always buying low level parts and trying to push them past what they were meant to do. You get what you pay for. Consoles have to be upgraded all the time too if you want them to be able to run the latest game at the highest settings. The only difference is that you can't upgrade a console until you are forced to buy another generation. Buy good pc parts, have a good pc for years to come and you will still be able to play the latest games at further and further reduced settings just like a console. But you also have the option to add more money to the system in an upgrade to continue playing at higher settings which you cannot do with a console. Do what you want, but don't mislead people just because you couldn't make pc gaming work for you.
the likliehood of a) getting multiples of the same model when you have low cash, and b) getting enough parts to make one complete one is pretty low. If you had enough cash to buy multiples then its far more profitable to buy one and fix it complete to sell.
@@CrypticFoxGaming the better bet is to note the body parts you need and find them in the barn or junkyard that way you can repair them instead of buying new. I'm playing through 2018 until the 15th when I can buy the 2021 and it was quick to make money, but you don't have to pay for shop upgrades either. That is a good edition to the game. I still would have rather had hoses instead of fuse box especially since if you pull a hose and forget to drain the fluid for that hose you get a cleanup bill.
@@mobilechaosyt Each trip to the junkyard costs 500 CR, so if you have to go multiple times you gobble up your savings. Might get some pieces there that save you money, but as a cost savings its not super helpful. I would rather have had hoses and lines to. Fuses suck haha.
Another tip: In the settings, you can disable the costs to travel which means that you can go to the junkyard, auctions and barns ... for free!

I just spent 21000cr on a Reptilia with one of the special builds and immediately sold it for 28000cr. Did nothing except click to sale. No clean up, no welding, no repairs. I guess the fact that I recovered it from a barn sparked someone to grab it from me.
The play I am doing with the repairs coming before the money line has never allowed me to do that. If we want to compare grinding issues, which is more grindy. Repairing parts for marginal profits or an automatic 15% profit while holding on to all those repair equipment costs until later?
My money is with you on the way to go being climb the money ladder first. Even 5% day one while doing orders is worth a lot more than repairs sometime in the future.
@@Istalior And this is the second thing he has missed or discounted for importance. Those boxes have only 5 things you can get from them and you will get 2 things with every box. I went to the junkyard buying cheap turnarounds, grabbing barn maps then when I got several maps, barns only and boxes only. A single grind of a couple hours had me visit 14 barns, collect well over 2 levels exp, a LOT of scrap and a decent amount of CR. In fact, I made more CR than I spent getting lifts to the barns and buying the boxes. They ended up only costing me 170cr each. I was often getting over 400cr from opening a box and still some other item in that box. All the scrap I considered just extra laid away for the future when I start tuning. And without the need to grind scraping the parts to get that much. Win-win.
Fun fact I know it’s late but if you have time to take the car underneath off you can repair it all including wheels and some small stuff but the knuckles, driveshaft, gearbox, leaf plates, u bolts all can be fixed it’s don’t cost nearly as much as a new part
In the settings you can take the travel cost off so it dont cost you anything to go to the scrap yard
As another comment mentioned. Here is what I found.
1.) Buy cheap junkyard cars. The 2,000 to 10,000 range.
2.) Wash the interior, and exterior.
3.) Use the welder to fix the body.
4.) Repair/replace all body panels, headlights, windows, etc
5.)Repair the car with brake/suspension parts just enough to mount all four tires.
6.) Buy the most expensive Rims, and tires. Tire size is 520/90/R25, slick tire B or C, Rim size 25 with ET of 200. I found the Rim Huayra Tempesta to be the most expensive.
Mount and sell the car. I found it costs around 40,000 to 50,000 per car. With the average profit around 20,000. This isn't all that much, but it takes 5 to 10 minutes for the whole project.
i spent 25k+ on wheels and it wont let me put it on the car
edit: nvm im still new and forgot to put the rim and the tire together
Awesome how I just got done with my session on cm2021 and literally 30 min ago u just upload what im looking for 💪
Same I’m already lvl 13 lmao
Lol grats.
Hooray for good timing 😁
@@CrypticFoxGaming hi
As a mechanic, it triggers me to see the the air duct and water pump installed first! Not even mentioning letting that car go with a shitty suspension! hehe
lol i'm definitely no mechanic :D
@@CrypticFoxGaming hey if it works!! :P
As a mechanic how accurate would you say this is? Minus install order
@@Momofamlly not that bad, actually.. It is a exaggerated view of it, sure.. But it is pretty much spot on! I would add couple of things to feel more authentic but that's just me 😅
@@billybilligan986 cool. Thanks for the reply. I’ve always wanted to be a mechanic, the army just gets in the way lol
2:50 I paid $9,632 for my Ribbsan Starline, put in as much tuning parts as possible for a 46.61% increase in tuning, cost me $29,874 for all the parts and repairs. In total I spent $49,506(including the cost of the car) and can sell it for 85,748 so a $36,242 profit. I always make sure all my parts are 100% for the condition bonus.
Yeah you’ll make the best money by fully repairing the car but you can make fast cash by just flipping junkers with minor fixes. Works even if you don’t have the money for a full rebuild
The Atom Renton Is a good one as well. I just sold a 100% for 109k not tuned at all. Baseline car.
@@Dedmeetdm yeah the electic cars sell for a lot with fixed up batteries :)
It is much faster and more profitable to do exhaust, brakes and transmission work. I did this until I had money to restore the cars, which is the fun of the game for me. Today my save is $900k
We need some wacky mods like Mad Max cars or modifying a car so that it's zombie proof. Or add the school bus back in
I’m sure there will be car mods coming :)
I think we’ve all got our own trucks to make some quick cash on this game
Your idea sounds pretty good
Yeah there’s certainly more than one way
Replacing the engine block and gear box are quick money, also cars that have bad body panels and no tires. Replace the panels, weld, put on new tires and you get a quick little return.
I would also try & Unlock all the discount row first to save spending money , It even helps when spending at the junkyard , Also Restore a player owned mod car without painting it and check the car value , Then spend $1000 to paint the same player owned mod car and then check the mod car value , Before & After the paint job the mod car value is the same , So you lose out on a $1000 , If you are going to resell a mod car I would just fix it up and not paint , It's not worth losing $$$$$$ .
I'm pretty sure you get more money for a car with les damaged parts on it so it might be worth striping all the rotten parts of it as well.
So my advice to get to the point you can do the things he doing for good money is take exclusively gearbox and exhaust jobs. Super fast to complete, and if you get the 25% credit multiplier ive made 15k profit on a gearbox job that took me 5 mins. With those 2 types of jobs, even if the parts are not discovered, its a limited amount of components.
Yeah the only catch being that you have to level up for a bit to get the gearbox jobs, but they are good money
@@CrypticFoxGaming True, but not too much. I'm only level 10 and I think i got access to them at around 7ish. And if you buy all the testers early its a good way to level quickly in the beginning. test everything on every car. Even if you're only filling fluids.
tip to mention too: buying the battery charger makes the batteires brand new by charging them.
Yep. Makes a little bit of money anyway :)
It's good and I don't want to sound like I am hating, but I think you are missing the boat with this build. I tried this and I tried going the money line. Once I could do junkyard I collected barn maps until I could do barns. Once I started barns I ended up doing 14 back to back because there is a 1 in 5 chance to get a new box in every box you find in the barn. AND, a 1 in 5 chance to get another barn map. And a chance to get scrap, exp or cr if you miss those. In 14 maps I went up a couple levels, ended up with more money than I started with and got a lot of scrap.
You were not to the point where barns were possible yet you you could say that would be smarter for later, but your system works best for earlier. But turning junkyard cars early for chump change is basically what you are doing, just do more and fond those barn maps so when you can go, you make real money.
I have checked, while you can make good bank by replacing bad parts with good, you make the same if you replace them with new bought parts except using the money build you earn a higher rate. I have found that any part you can not use so must sale you will make exactly 1cr more than it cost you. I don't care to grind for a 1cr profit.
Tip: Electric cars can be good to flip for cash because the Battery modules cost 1.5k each, and you can replace up to 9.
Yeah the batteries are worth a ton
Oh hey i watch your videos and i thought i was subscribed to you, huh.
@@CrypticFoxGaming I have spent hours watching these videos thinking whether or not i should get the game, since i dont have a series X rn but only a one s and it might have fps problems
@@obtainedlight4745 Yeah I'm afraid I don't know how it performs on xbox as I haven't tried it. I've been playing on PC. It seems to be pretty well optimized but I don't know for sure.
@@obtainedlight4745 Hey man, if you're still active and didn't hear, CMS21 is now on Game pass.
Best way to do this is method is to get the value estimate perk, it shows you how much the car is worth to resell before you upgrade anything. It avoids buying a car like the first car he bought that has a negative value upong bringing it home
Yeah it's just a function of whether you've done enough to unlock the perk yet :)
I clocked up over 800 hrs gameplay on cms 2018 so i play this almost exactly the same, cant help but make sure i do everything on the cars that needs doing lol hate part doing jobs. I have clocked up over 300k cr now so i am happy. nice vid mate. Just subbed
Yeah once you flip a fully restored car or two money isn’t much of an issue :)
I don't bother with the engine normally. I pull off all of the crappy body parts, re-panel the car, buy new interior and install it then sell it (I like giving a courtesy paint but it doesn't add to the overall value). You can also buy all of the replacement reservoirs, battery, ecu (if applicable), brake servo, radiator assembly, fuel tank and fuel pump which adds a nice chunk, especially beneficial if you have either a warehouse full of repaired junk or have the maximum 15% discount on spares. I wish in this game that you could buy body shells for a total kit build, perhaps ones that aren't available in the Junkyard, Barn or Auction (just a thought Red Dot).
yeah I mean there's a lot you could replace. You can make fast cash by doing nothing other than washing and welding though really. Buy car, wash, weld, sell for $5k to $10k profit, repeat. Super low effort and quick money.
@@CrypticFoxGaming I've used that method to buy all of the upgrades for my garage. Awesome tip.
I use a trick called middle eastern mechanic, i grab a fast order strip a car clean sell all the parts, throw it in parking and worry about it later.
Will they be adding the ability to swap engines like they had in 2018?
Yes they have it in the game already from what I've seen.
Just want to add something here. It is worth it to fix the front and back suspension. I made 20k just from doing the suspension on one car. So i did a full resto on another one and ended up selling it for 95k. And that was with buying all the parts new because i hadnt bought antlyrhing for the shop to fix parts.
If you are looking to to pull some money fast, and you have about 15-20k to spare a suspension job will get your pockets fat. I dont think i had that much money on me, but i did go from about 7k to 27k just on full suspension rebuild. Honestly the cheaper the car the better. You're going to be gutting it anyways. I typically do this method on the older cars.
I also did a partial suspension rebuild on a Ribssan z530, both front rear, i think i turned like 7-10k on that.
Dont be afraid to test ideas out either, there might be a nitch jist doing exteriors or something, im newer to the game so idk.
Only doing Interior detailing and welding body will make you profits on cars arounk 5k in the junkyard
Really depends on the car but yes some will
Save up 20K, buy a car do as much as possible. Body work is better. Sell for profit and then do it again slowly doing more to each car. Then once you can start restoring a lot of parts do so. It took my 2 hours to do it. So easy
I thi k you can fix some of the rims too, i also recommend stripping the repairable parts and i recommend getting the perk where you can tell the value too.
Another way to make/save money is to go to game settings and turn off travel fee - Makes it free to go to junkyard each time
This is also a handy way to offload surplus parts from other repairs
yeah they seem to be worth more on a car than off
very nice guide thanks. i will start buying from junkyard as soon as i have enough cash.
Good luck!
I don't sell parts buy recycle them then can upgrade parts biggest money maker is buying upgrade parts
Its faster and more profitable to ignore everything but cosmetics on the car, meaning wash it and weld it then replace all body parts and sell it
please remember you also need the garage expansion which is 10k to unlock the workbench.
yep true enough. By the time you get to the point that you can go to the junkyard/barn it's not too hard to get that much cash on hand though :)
yes, thats my problem right now
wow, i dont know, that i can sell non fixed cars. thx for that awesome tip
Happy to help
That news anchor outro was great lol
lol it’s my standard stream ending. Think I did it out of habit
While this is useful i feel like its pretty end game. Your skills and unlocks are very high. Do you have tips for earlier in the game to get through the boring grind of replacing brakes?
My unlocks were pretty high, but that's not super relevant to this approach. You just need to be more mid-tier for this. The early game is just a grind. Until you can start buying cars from the junkyard and washing/fixing some parts you pretty much have to do customer jobs to earn some scratch and the xp you need to level up a bit.
How do i get new cars i just keep finding the same ones
Its random chance. Returning to the junk yard will generally have a different assortment each time, but you'll still have duplication.
I usually clean, replace batteries, then weld and sell…95% of the time you’ll turn a profit
Don't underestimate the condition bonus and the performance parts bonus. Having everything at 100% can net you 15k-20k CR easy. Also, often you can do much of what you've done here, but instead of repairing the parts & putting them back on the car, you can swap them out for performance parts (if you have the money to invest in them) and you make a ton that way for more or less the same effort. 5k profit for a car flip is pretty low... 30k+ is easily attainable if you use the performance parts and try and get everything to 100%.
Yea a fully restored car will net you the most money but this was just about making some fast cash to put you in a place to even do that :)
@@CrypticFoxGaming Honestly, I think it's worth spending the extra effort in doing it - your money/time ratio is much higher. If you're starting from 32k, that's more than enough to do the lot. First car I refurbed I had 262 CR left at the end, and I sold it for 162,375 CR. Sold my grandmother to re-do that car lol.
Car detailing is free if you use the car wash.
I am new to the game and have a vehicle that needed some heavy repairs. It has the I3 engine and last thing I need to install is the engine cover and it won't let me install it. I'm not missing any parts
Not sure what to tell you. Is it showing the shadow image for the engine cover? If so, double-check that you have the correct cover and didn't accidentally pick up the wrong one.
Yeah this works great. The only thing you didn’t do was fix the break disc. It’s free and will increase your income.
yep those don't hurt either. To degree i was trying to minimize the time consumption but that wouldn't add much more time.
I've found out that bying junk cars and just adding new bodypanels on it makes a small profit
This may sound crazy but I get every part i can from the junk yard or barn find. Go back to the garage, and fix it all up. Then sell it. I've made bank :D Like, I don't even take orders at this point lmao. I only enjoy rebuilding my own cars / auctioning off cars.
I'm in the process of restoring a old gti, i fixed up everything / bought everything that needed to be bought. I'll have to keep it sadly, it looks too nice lol.
I did that and made a little bit but I find it a lot more tedious to search all the piles for junk that is still in good enough condition to be fixed.
@@CrypticFoxGaming yeah, I agree 🤣. Im more so doing it in hopes of a barn find. Which so far I've only got 1 barn find map.
I like your method better though, definitely easier to make money your way 🤣. Less of a headache
@@KanekiAtOtaku Once you get enough money the big bucks are definitely in fully rebuilding and selling the cars, but its a good way to build up enough money to do that :)
@@CrypticFoxGaming agreed 😄. Just fully rebuilt a GTI and a AE86 and made about 100k. Very rewarding tbh.
Anywho, thanks for replying to me, I hope you have a wonderful week 😊
kind of what i do,only with aCTUAL cars....much more satisfying
I do the complete opposite of what he does and I always get about 10k profit. If you strip the suspension and tires and make them all 80% or higher then you get more.
Cheat engine or WeMod or a trainer works too after getting a good tutorial.
So practically you dont have to repair the whole thing only enough to get you profit. But if you repair it all will the car sell for more?
Yeah if you have the money for a full repair it definitely earns more. This was more about getting to the point of having enough money to do that :)
If you are real desperate memorise what models sell for what price in junk condition
Then only buy for below that at the junkyard then do little bits like exterior interior and chassis leave mechanical you can make up to a 10k profit on that alone
Thank you so much my man. I would never have known any of this. Now I'm gonna be rollin in the cash :D
Glad I could help!
Get the DLC electrical vehicles. Get 10% discount in the shop also. Scary the profit you can get fixing some of the EV with Battery/Engine problems. To build money up to get the cash reserves up whilst doing customer orders. Handy hint it is also very very boring but examine every car part by part and also buy all testers gets you on average an extra 120-200xp per vehicle.
yeah repairing battery packs is crazy profitable.
If u want fast money try to repair gearboxes. It gets u much money for just a little work in a short amount of time.
Yes that works too, but it's pretty quick to buy a junker at auction, wash it, weld it, and sell it for 5k to 10k profit
@@CrypticFoxGaming but u have to search for a good one like you said in your video. That costs time...
@@DEATHbyDECIBEL well a good one to make money just washing it, but you can grab almost any car and using the welder on it significantly improves the value
Really enjoy your videos.
How to make money fast in any game:
1. Realize the reason you're asking is that you're so tired of the game that your best of solutions would be cheating.
2. Put the game aside for a while.
3. Get back in a far more enjoyable game. You'll now earn money without even thinking about it.
dlc cars like the both the 911s and the XJ220 will sell for a lot
so sad they added a 20% dealer mark up for all the new cars from salon, otherwise souping up new cars is a great way to make money
Sounds like realism though 🤣
so this game is kinda like trial and error as beginner right?
cos im new to this game wanted to try out the series since 2018 one but never had the money to buy and now i do, so is this game easy or just annoying to learn or something?
Well the early jobs are simple and as you level up the game gives you more complex customer work. Once you get familiar with the game it’s really not hard.
I play the 2018 version the way to make your car worth a lot money is don’t put in standard parts go for the high performance parts. I have cars worth 139,000
This is about building up money to complete full flips with. Can't buy perofrmance parts and kit out a whole car if you don't have the money to do it.
@@CrypticFoxGaming Well repair cars first that's how I did it. To build up money. You build your business repair cars then go buy cars and put high-performance parts in the cars
@@studiomanhud8945 lol you're kind of missing the point. This is just a suggested way for peopel to get money fast. Customer orders are a good start, but you can speed up the money progress by flipping junkers from the junkyard
@@CrypticFoxGaming No, I'm not missing a point do the right way. Like running a business. You can build up a lot if get the right ones to repair which I figure out. Get 31,000 car repairs.
Is the car auction any better than the shambles it was in 2018 version?
Mmm minorly. It’s just rapid back and forth bidding though until the computer stops bidding. Not very organic feeling :)
For me I just turn on unrealistic wheel size on and put he biggest most expensive wheels on then sell for quick cash
lol I suppose that would work too
If you go to the junkyard and you buy the cars for cheap and redo them and you sell them you can make profit over 100,000
Yeah this was more in the context of before you have enough money to completely rebuild a car :)
True
Great video! Thanks! 👌💪
Me playing without watching any videos and fully restoring a fair lady z then watching this video 😂 whoops but my z is valued at 92k 🤓 great video man
If you have the money for a full restoration you’ll make way more money at once. This is more about getting some fast cash to work with :)
Did they change prices for things like welding and washing? I have pay more than 500 on cheaper cars for welding
Hmm I don't know. I haven't played in a year or more so it's possible they changed it.
In early game i have little money so i turned off travel costs in options to save the 500 cost. It eats a big chunk of profit if you pay 500 travel plus 500 for welder plus 100 for valeting. Also i failed to repair one engine part which meant i lost it and therefore could not put rest of engine parts back on car unless i bought a new part. i guess i should only repair parts that i know will have a high chance of working.
Yeah money in the early game is rather sparse
skill issue
How much mone do you recommend to do a full restoration?
depends entirely on the car. The more expensive the car, the more expensive the parts.
Thanks man 😃
No problem 👍
Hey fox love the videos keep it up 😀
Thanks. Glad you enjoy them
@@CrypticFoxGaming 😀
Hello there
I am level 3 with 200 cash and have a big car project
How much of a grind is it in comparison to 2018?
Bit more to be honest. Same basic game mechanics but now when repairing parts there’s a mini game you have to play to repair as opposed to just spamming the button
If this seems too time consuming, game cheat engine works as well, you know, for those that don't want to grind for most of their game XP.
What's the point in using a cheat if you can just use Sandbox mode instead :)
Does this game actually teaches you to make cars
Hi fox 🦊 nice video
Hey, thanks
You can turn off junkyard fee in settings
Yea I know. I left it on in my game though
So what do we upgrade?
I only have 40 dollars and I ran out of money mid fix and I can’t put everything back then sell it’s because it won’t let me I need to fully fix it and it had 3 pages worth of problems that weren’t discovered and I have to find them and it was fast with tools but I’m missing more still
May need to do some oil changes to earn some money
Ok, but what about when you don't have money to buy junkyard cars??? Because small side jobs don't give much money and big ones require investments
Your only place to make money initially is going to be by doing jobs.
What happens if ur completely broke is there like anything you can do to make money
Only thing you can try to do is take customer jobs. Could even take a customer job and just completely strip the car and sell all the parts. You won’t be able to complete the job till you rebuild it though :)
Lets Go 100K 🔥❤
Getting there gradually. Been a busy month :)
So, you became THAT kind of shady mechanic! lol
You know how you could make that better? Find the same car as a job car, take ALL the good parts of the job car and put them on the junker then sell it. After that, the job car is just a detail and you don't need to bother with it! lol

@@CrypticFoxGaming Well, they say that cars pollute too much, so they'll be better off taking the bus, the train, or their bicycles anyway.
That's why I own Consoles. You only have to update software then . I use to own a gaming computer but got sick of always having to update after 3 years. Computers are a black hole.
@@jayson8118 That's a really simplistic way to look at a computer. IF you were always having to upgrade it was because you were always buying low level parts and trying to push them past what they were meant to do. You get what you pay for. Consoles have to be upgraded all the time too if you want them to be able to run the latest game at the highest settings. The only difference is that you can't upgrade a console until you are forced to buy another generation.
Buy good pc parts, have a good pc for years to come and you will still be able to play the latest games at further and further reduced settings just like a console. But you also have the option to add more money to the system in an upgrade to continue playing at higher settings which you cannot do with a console. Do what you want, but don't mislead people just because you couldn't make pc gaming work for you.
@@ram89572 truth! this thread just made do a gamer pc check - 4 years old and still in the 97th percentile.
Why are the barn finds higher then the junkyard prices
Because the condition of the vehicles and parts are better than the junkyard finds. They also tend to be more complete in terms of parts.
@@CrypticFoxGaming true cause I picked up a Camaro the engine parts only was only 76% damage and I was able to repair most of it

I'm only watching this because I'm bored, and in CMS 2021, I'm currently sorta broke, sitting at a subtle $14,979,426 at the time of writing this.
lol yep...definitely broke haha
What about multiple of one car model and marketing one complete car?
the likliehood of a) getting multiples of the same model when you have low cash, and b) getting enough parts to make one complete one is pretty low. If you had enough cash to buy multiples then its far more profitable to buy one and fix it complete to sell.
@@CrypticFoxGaming the better bet is to note the body parts you need and find them in the barn or junkyard that way you can repair them instead of buying new. I'm playing through 2018 until the 15th when I can buy the 2021 and it was quick to make money, but you don't have to pay for shop upgrades either. That is a good edition to the game. I still would have rather had hoses instead of fuse box especially since if you pull a hose and forget to drain the fluid for that hose you get a cleanup bill.
@@mobilechaosyt Each trip to the junkyard costs 500 CR, so if you have to go multiple times you gobble up your savings. Might get some pieces there that save you money, but as a cost savings its not super helpful. I would rather have had hoses and lines to. Fuses suck haha.
Dude you can make profit just by using Welder washing inside and out
