Car Flipper [+5 CARS]
The basic flip loop
Step
The whole game runs on one loop: buy cheap, fix it up, dress it up, sell it high. Your first few cars will teach you how the timing works and where the money goes. Stick to low-cost wrecks until the cycle feels natural.
- Buy a damaged car
head to the car sales area on the map and pick the cheapest wreck you can afford.
- Bring it to the workshop
drive or move the car to your workshop to start repairs.
- Repair the damage
fix what is broken before spending anything on looks.
- Customize the exterior
a fresh paint job and a clean interior raise what buyers will pay.
- Sell for profit
put the car back on the market and pocket the difference.

Making money early on
Tips
Early cash is tight, so every purchase needs to earn its keep. The gap between what you paid and what you sell for is your profit, and widening that gap is the whole game. Running several cars through the loop at the same time speeds things up once you can afford it.
- Start with the least expensive wrecks so a single bad sale cannot wipe you out.
- Do only the repairs that let you sell
skip expensive upgrades until your wallet is healthier.
- Think about what a buyer wants before choosing a paint color or interior trim.
- Work on more than one car at a time once you have the workshop space for it.
Choosing the right car for your budget
Table
Cars with low damage are cheaper to fix but sell for less. Rare or heavily damaged vehicles cost more to restore but can fetch a much higher price.
| Low-damage common cars | cheap repairs, quick turnaround, lower sale price |
| Heavily damaged rare cars | high repair cost, high potential sale price, better for later in the game |
| Cars you want to keep | set aside favorites for your personal collection instead of selling |
Workshop upgrades
Check
Your starting workshop can only handle so many jobs at a time. Expanding it lets you repair and customize several cars in parallel, which means more sales per session.
- Confirm you have enough money left over after an upgrade to still buy cars.
- Prioritize space that lets you run multiple cars side by side.
Customization that pays off
Warn
Paint, interior work, and performance parts all add value to a car. Performance upgrades on top of a solid repair can push a vehicle into a higher price bracket. The danger is over-spending — add upgrades only when the sale price will rise by more than the upgrade costs you.
Racing and multiplayer
SummaryOnce a car is repaired and upgraded, you can take it out against friends in races.
- Race mode
test finished cars against friends to see how your builds hold up
- Multiplayer
the game supports playing alongside others in the same world
Redeem codes
CheckDevelopers release codes periodically that can be redeemed for in-game rewards. Each code works only once, and codes can expire, so do not sit on them.
- Open the code entry screen inside the game before trying to redeem anything.
- Remember that each code can only be used once.
- Redeem any new code immediately rather than saving it for later.

Common questions
FAQWhat should I do when I run out of money early in the game?
Stick to the cheapest wrecks available and keep repair spending to the bare minimum needed to make a sale. Sell each finished car immediately and put every coin back into the next purchase.
Can I keep a car instead of selling it?
Yes, you can hold on to any car you like as part of your personal collection. You can still take collection cars out for races with friends.
Do I need to spend real money to progress?
Buying cars, repairing them, customizing them, and expanding the workshop can all be done with in-game money you earn through flipping.
