Read in this order
New accounts should use Getting started, then How to make cash, then Dealership build order. Open Halloween Part 2 when the event panel is on screen. Trading comes after a finished lot.
Which Car Dealership Tycoon [π] guides are published?
Getting started in the first hour
Claim a Regular plot, redeem the Settings codes, park a cheap car on a platform, and drive before you buy a hypercar.
How to make cash
Stack codes, display pads, miles, short races, deliveries, and Auto Drive. Skip cash sites and unfinished-lot trophies.
Dealership build order and costs
Finish one Regular lot, aim Regular 2 if you want the cheaper path, and do not skip-unlock Hyper before the buttons are affordable.
Race types and how to vote
Use drag or a one-lap circuit for generic finish quests, and match suspension to rally instead of bringing a slammed hypercar.
Trading, tokens, and the Trading Terminal
Finish a dealership before you trust the Trading Hub, plan for the 8% token tax, and ignore value lists from before the 10 October 2026 RAP reset.
Controls and the HUD
WASD and Space on PC, the top cog for codes, the left HUD for races and trading, and the cyan portal for Auto Drive.
Daily Rewards, spins, and stars
Claim the 30-day calendar before a 48-hour gap, spin the eight-hour Daily Wheel, and keep stars for a car you will display or race.
Auto Drive AFK
Use the cyan portal, pick a whitelisted car, and wait 15 minutes for the cash multiplier. This is not an executor.
Houses and what they earn
Cottage, big, and modern prices are cosmetics until you confirm the live pad. Since 26 September 2026, houses can hold vehicle displays.
Which gamepasses to buy, and when
Codes and pads come first. 2x Money or VIP is the first paid choice. Spawn slots and token packs come later.
Halloween Part 2 and Pumpkins
The 24 October 2026 description adds four vehicles, a maze, Pumpkin unlocks, and the code HAUNTEDBARN for 100 Pumpkins.
Car Codex and how vehicles are obtained
The Codex is the brand index from 20 June 2026. It is not the code box, and it does not unlock trading.
