What players say
Car Trader Simulator has some much. Good plot and interesting characters. And for a while, acquiring cars and selling them actually feels fun. Game suffers, because it feels and plays like mobile phone game. Game is very shallow, one you finish main story. Not much point of replaying. It is early access, but developer has never published any intentions to create more content. Recommended with revervation.
