Trader

Renovate and sell 50 cars

sleap-eat-renovate-repeat

The trader achievement is a painfull grind of continously doing the same over and over again and this for days :-)
You must dismantle EVERY part of a car and rebuild the car with only parts at 100%.

You can check your current progress from the Main Menu -> Extras -> Global Statistics -> Sold fixed cars

Do the following tasks to renovate your car.
Wash the car (interior and exterior)
Dismantle every part, tires, engine, body parts, interior
Use welder to fix frame to 100%
Repair/buy all parts needed
Rebuild your car (check on the car status screen that everything is 100%)
At least, run an engine test to verify everthing is ok. This is optional but it will guarantee you didn't miss something.

Of course you can do this 50x with every car you like. But you can speed things up...

Focus on speed, not in maximizing provit.
Try to avoid repairing items. Buy new parts!
It's hard to accept what comes now, I know, but avoid V6, V8, V12 engines (too many parts,need too much time to build)!
I strongly recommend you purchase the Electric Car DLC. Electric cars have much less parts!
Try to focus on cars with the eDen-1H engine (14 part engine!). Every part for the engine you need is named with eDen-1H. Easily to buy in the shop in one step.
I recommend the Atom Renton (with eDen-1H engine) as the car of your choice. Farm the Atom from auction
If there is any reason why you don't go for electric cars, focus on cars with R4 DOHC (DI) or R4 DOHC (TURBO) as engine. These are the easiest to build classic engines.
Prebuild a lot of engines and sell the used engine. Don't waste time with dismantling and repairing used engines.
Prebuild tires, sell the used.
Buy mass amounts of parts so that you don't have to visit the shop every time. Have everything you need in your inventory,

The eDen-1H...you'll love it!

The Mechanic

Reach level 50

In my playthrough this was the last achievement missing. I played on normal because I was new to the game and I find the bolt outlines really helpful. I don't know if you get less XP on easy diffuculty.
If you play on expert you should not get any problem to reach level 50 while doing the trader achievement!

Don't waste your time in doing Repair Orders!
They'll give you less XP compared to the time you need to do them.

Better option is to farm for loot cases!

Go to the junkyard and search for a "Barn location map". There will always spawn 1 map.
Now go the barn and search in the storages for the loot case. There will also spawn 1 in every barn.
GOOD LUCK to get the bonus XP card

Miscellaneous

If you feel, like me, a little pain in your clicking finger after removing thousands of bolts and parts, I recommand a little helper tool which holds down the mouse key for you :-)
Simply assign the left/right mouse button to a key of your choise. The tool will hold the mouse button for you until you press the key again.

The only reason I severely hate the Trader achievement is because I want to keep one of each car type and variant for myself, which is what I did in CMS18. Seems Tax thinks like me with the process. But after selling a bunch of cars that I really wanted to keep, I got frustrated and went a step further.

I used a cheat/mod that automatically repairs a part to 100% the moment you take it off. (It's not in the workshop.) It also completely repairs group parts that you unmount, except whole engines, i.e.front shock assemblies, rim/tires mounted and balanced, etc.

So all I did was disassemble a bunch of cars, weld frame, quickly reassemble them, wash inside and out, paint, dyno, and sell. Didn't have to worry about buying parts or repairing them. (Unless I was working on a car with missing parts. And there's another mod that easily takes care of that.)

I'm almost done as we speak. Only took a few hours a day, for a week.

Thanks! TAX

I am pretty sure there is currently no need to own any DLC to get 100%. I only have two DLC (Electric & Nissan) and could get all achievements.

Thans Tax, for 100% of achievements it is necessary to have all the dlcs¿?
