To bid just on one car per city(+ one per partner) is not effectiv. so it takes a lot of time to buy cars. it should be increased per level or somthing else!!
U are right uschaos .. I have a Showroomvalue of nearly 1Million-placed on Rank ~400. Much money in cars and 3rd in XP .. but Showroom far away from the top..
Its my favourite game at the moment, too. First you have to start with cheap cars and little profits. Earn your money by answer the showroom questions or by "Compare Cars" (play it until 200 or 500, after that its to risky to fall back). Then grow up your garage, and start to expand to other cities and open up a garage there. Choose near cities, because flights are to expensive at the beginning. And dont forget the Challenges :)
@Yaruke: i had no problems with this challenge. I choosed a car 2006 with 140 miles for ~3000. It was crashed, but who cares.. For this you need luck if u want to get profit...
