This suggestion stems from the addition of new cars added to the server periodically. I propose to apply the ability to trade in an owned vehicle and have its depreciated value applied towards buying a new vehicle. Part of me wants the depreciation rate to be like 1% per day of ownership that would drop to a server set maximum of maybe 10k. This would mean that for every trade in there would be a minimum of 10k available to apply to a new car purchase. For example you purchase a Panto for 18k and have owned it for 2 weeks. The initial depreciation value would be set to 180 per day and subtract that amount from the original purchase price multiplied by that amount of days, making the overall value of the car drop by 2,520. If I were to code a formula I could type:
depreciation_value = (purchase_price * 0.01 * days_owned)
total_trade_value = purchase_price - depreciation_value

Could be cool to introduce that sorta trade between players. It would allow someone to setup a used car dealership out of their own garage.
This is literally the reason I’m sitting on 50K but I refuse to buy a car. It’s a dead transaction with no residual value until the ability to resell it is added.
