trigger Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Grrr... how annoying! Just spent "18 months" building my business up with a nice profit and like a twat I've just offered £15000 as a trade in on a Allegro! Damn my fat fingers, the lady who was trading it in against a £10000 Jaguar XJ6L must have been laughing all the way out the garage! mouseflakes and Banger Kenny 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sloth in a bowl Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Having got the hang of it on the basic garage I tried a larger one and had all my stock burnt out two days before opening! Then 6 months into the game, some punter comes in looking for a Mini 1000, I'd never seen a Mini 1000 up to that point in the game.However I did make £1100 profit on a Metro 1.0L which I can't believe that anybody has done in real life.

Richard Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I just had a disasterous fire wiped out everything. Oh well at least that manta has gone! I first read that post on my phone and didn't realise it was in this thread Do comically overpriced cars ever sell? I had an Allegro up at £2995 but nobody would even haggle.

warren t claim Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Can someone please make an updated version of this with a couple of improvements?

warren t claim Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Real world faults would be good, buy a Laguna dizzler and there's a 70% chance it'll shit something serious but that'll be reflected in the asking price.

catsinthewelder Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I like the idea of being able to see your car lot with the prices on the screen If the cars had colours then I wouldn't get as pissed off with customers not likeing the colour.

gary_davidson Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I think updating the original to have different cars should be fairly straight forwards........it's only been 15 years since I did any programming like that and I wsn't exactly shit hot at it but I'll have a go Banger Kenny and trigger 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r.welfare Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I remember playing Minder in the mid 80s. I know the Spectrum was never famed for sound but the version of the theme tune that plays while the Jag 'drives' between locations is so bad it's almost sublime.

Richard Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I've had two cars develop a fault on the test drive, costing money to put right and losing me the sale. is that what I get for choosing to bodge instead of prepare? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pillock Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 What? I've spent yonks playing this game and never had a car break down on the test drive!! I did suffer from fat fingers and accidentally drop a car from 5750 to 550. Unsurprisingly it sold. And I occasionally struggle with a car having done too many miles, they reject it even below trade price. It'll go eventually though after you've offered it to three hundred punters.

gary_davidson Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 there is a variables file that has the cars in so I should be able to change these but before I do I wanted to play the game, keeps crashing on me, does this happen to others or should I hunt out a different emulator?

phil_lihp Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Has anyone else ended up with an 'Alfa 77'? When one turned up on my forecourt I thought this was some odd variant of the 75 I'd never heard of but it seems to be a typo. I see an Audi 300 in there too!
