Tips
Flipping cars profitably takes more than buying and listing whatever you find. Paying attention to the stock market, the state of each car, and where you list it will push your margins up considerably.
- Check the stock market regularly and sell when a car's value is climbing.
- Never skip the condition inspection at purchase — a car in poor shape sells for less, eating into your profit.
- List cars on the cross-server Marketplace to reach buyers across different servers, not just the six players in your current one.
- Rare cars spawn during cycles just like common ones, so be ready to act fast when you spot one.
- Consistent trading raises your reputation, which eventually unlocks exclusive vehicles you cannot get any other way.

Common questions
FAQWhere do I check a car's condition?
You inspect a car before you buy it. A car's condition directly affects the price you can sell it for later.
How do I unlock exclusive vehicles?
Exclusive vehicles are tied to your reputation level. Your reputation rises each time you complete a trade.
What is the point of the stock market?
The stock market tells you when car values are rising or falling. Selling while a car's value is up gives you a bigger profit margin than selling at a low point.
