When you first start the game you are provided with a truck and tow dolly to move your vehicles around. Later on, once you have purchased the tow truck from the scrapyard ($30,000), you can still use the tow dolly as well! It is a little tricky for loading and unloading as you will need to do it in specific order which I will explain how to do.

1. Attach the dolly to your tow truck.
2. Go to the first vehicle you wish to pick up and then disconnect the dolly nearby (you can push 'z' to disconnect).
3. Load the first vehicle onto the tow truck.
4. Reattach the tow dolly and then go to your second vehicle.
5. Pickup the second vehicle using the tow dolly and then take them both back to your shop!
6. You will need to unload the first vehicle and the tow dolly. You can either unload the tow dolly with the vehicle on it (by pressing 'z') or drop the car off wherever (by pressing 'x') and then disconnecting the tow dolly.
7. Then you can unload your other car from the tow truck.

This will save you a bit of time and fuel if you plan your trip well.

When looking for bargains on the web, I always tend to go with the cheaper vehicles as they have the most potential for profit - try to find what the low end range for a certain vehicle type is and try to purchase that vehicle type at that price point. Keep in mind that the year of the model will also affect the price range (what it can be bought AND sold for). Older vehicles can be bought for cheaper but have less of top end profit margins.

When you talk to the seller, ALWAYS talk them down in price and if they are not willing to budge much on the price then move on. Don't go too low or they will laugh at you. I usually try to go somewhere between 60-80% of their asking price. If they laugh at your initial offer try going a bit closer to their asking price.

*TIP* Listen for the dings when you put in purchase requests! The higher the note dings the more flexible on the price they will be. The lower the dings are, the less flexible on their price they will be.

When you have beautified your vehicle(s) and are ready to sell them, for best results, sell them at MARKET VALUE. When buyers come in to purchase your vehicles, NEVER let them negotiate! It might take a bit of time to find the right buyer, but someone WILL buy it at the full market value.

Sleeping is for babies! You have no time for that! So utilise the most of your time by either fixing up cars yourself, refurbishing parts (once you unlock the refurbisher), making purchase arrangements, picking up and delivering cars, refuelling vehicles and posting cars online for sale.

*TIP* The people with active purchase arrangements will not sleep either so you can pick up the cars in the evening if you don't have time in the day, just make sure not to let them wait more than a full 24 hours or the arrangement will be negated.

Once you have unlocked the parts refurbisher, make sure it is always running with parts in it. Make the most of weekends and evenings and try to get all of your 'junk' parts refurbished to 100% again. One full cycle takes about 6.5 minutes so put a timer up as it won't notify you when its finished.

Later in the game once you have hired staff, especially the mechanic, you will want to have a healthy supply of 'new' (100%) parts on hand so that you can push vehicles through to the sale line faster. Start by refurbishing old parts but then once you save up some money try to have enough spare parts for at least four vehicles at all times.

Make sure you rollback the odometer on ALL of your vehicles. Be careful not to go into the redzone! Never start with the first number! Always start with the second number on the odometer.

So if the vehicle has 102982 Km’s, then start with the zero first. If the vehicle has 004872 Km’s then start with the 8.

There are a couple things to watch for when rolling back the odometer.

The Needle - Watch the needle carefully. You will notice the needle will move slow at the start and then it will move faster the more the numbers move. Make sure to move to the next number before the speed picks up.
The Rotating Dial - Watch the speed of the dial turning. Just before it slows down to a stop, move on to the next number.
Listen and look as the numbers change. The speed at which they change will slow down and the clicks happen less frequently.

You should use those ques to try and maximise the amount you can roll back. And make sure to stop before the needle reaches the red zone.
