This game shows costs in like 4 different places, and none of it is very clear, especially when I can take a material cost of around 6000 on an engine and turn it to cost like 180k...... Game needs scaling and I recall reading they will be doing more of that in the next patch.

Having said as much, don't take too much stock in "prices" as since this is early, I'm just making up a story...

Total costs includes the body cost, engine cost + the production units * 17.5 if I recall correctly

When you use quality sliders, it increases in price exponentially the more you use and I think it is possible to make a car that outperforms your LSX for less than 20k total production costs. I can tell you have used quality sliders a lot in that car!

Believe it or not though I did use them hear and there, I also tweaked some of them WAAAAY down... Mostly I'm focusing on building reliable engines. I play with the sliders a little bit but usually once I get my engine built, I turn down the sliders as much as I can until I "break" the engine... The problem is....I'm really really picky about torque curves..... like.....really picky.....makes me have to use the sliders more then I would like...

In the overview menu on the trim tab look at the market screen, that has a approximate retail price tag, if you have a lot of production units you can expect that number to be much higher in reality. The production units of your 280xl engine for example are high enough to build several of my smaller economy cars. The more labor intensive the more it costs, but with your brand it seems like you're aiming for the high end exclusive market so costs are not as important as long as your car has the stats to back up the price.

Yes, we aim for "high end" .... so cost is a little more, and we don't really intend to produce a lot of cars.....I'll start another "company" for mass produced cars, that can be a subsidiary of XCR... Once I get the time
