Allright, this seems like one of them games I could have spent months in front of a few years back and late nights in front of today... but I have one problem.

The only orders I seem to get are waay below my break even point per car. So I run out of money very fast! :titan:

Even if I set the price to say $1300 per car, I only get paid that for say five cars a month! The rest usually want around $1040-$1080 per car. Which results in a loss per sold car of about $260... not a financially sound way of doing business...

Hoping to see some hints!

Oh, and thanks for an awesome site! So much easier to browse through than some of the other abandonware sites out there, no names dropped...
Only the best games seem good enough for abandonia, just like it should be! ^_^

i make some kind of startup guide in the page 6 of this topic, but you should can sell your cars between $10.000 and $4.000. Anyway, you should say in wich markets and what cars for future help.

But.. there is the problem (offcourse)... It's Amiga version in ADF Format, you will need
some Amiga emulator like WinUAE...But there is another problem...you don't get rom file...and
it may be difficult to find it...

I dont know how to manage branches... with the dealers you make the big money, i never build more than one brach per country. I tried everything but is expensive to got branches empires and when the production isnt automated or the city is small or the sales go down for a few months, your loses come back multiplied.

The easiest way is just to focus on cars until you have good ones then branchs are second.
