      <description><![CDATA[The Tuning Shop update introduced value multipliers, performance tuning (turbos, suspension, nitrous), cosmetic paints, and turned the auction formula from a binary broken/fixed model into a layered progression loop. The Tuning Shop update, shipped on June 11, 2026, fundamentally altered the endgame economy of Car Flipper. Before the patch, restorations were a binary decision: either the car was broken, or it was fixed. Now, every restoration has a tunable ceiling. Performance tuning lets players upgrade engine mapping, suspension tuning, and forced induction (turbos and superchargers). This directly increases the base speed and handling metrics of each vehicle, making tuned cars viable in the multiplayer racing modules rather than purely static economic instruments. Aesthetic customization is now a real resource sink. Aftermarket paints, decals, and body kits apply a flat percentage to the final auction value, giving mid-game players a clean way to extract more value from completed flips. For trade arbitragers, this update exposed a deeper market: vehicles with matching Epic, Legendary, or Mythical parts across engine, nitro, and suspension slots now carry a synergy premium. The Trade Value Calculator accounts for this in its W/F/L verdict.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[The base Car Flipper experience launched on March 4, 2026 with the Junkyard acquisition loop, 100+ unique chassis, container gacha, dealership podiums, and the first cut of the auction economy. Car Flipper launched on March 4, 2026 with a tight core loop: find a wreck, repair it with parts from containers, optionally place it on a dealership podium for passive income, or sell it for liquid capital. The launch economy was tuned around high-velocity flipping of Common and Uncommon vehicles. The 31,000 cash auction benchmark became the most cited transition point, marking the moment players could sustainably afford Rare container unboxings. The Junkyard sector is the canonical starting point. Derelict Common and Uncommon vehicles are recoverable at zero initial acquisition cost, which makes the Junkyard the most efficient early-game source of capital. Mid-game players bypass the Junkyard by farming auction payouts. The launch established the five rarity tiers that still govern the game: Common (60% drop rate), Uncommon (25%), Rare (10%), Epic (4%), and Legendary (1%). These percentages were never officially published by the developer; they were reverse-engineered from badge acquisition data on Rolimon's.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Garage Plus is the highest-impact gamepass in Car Flipper. The +8 inventory slots, 200% part income multiplier, and 50% AFK penalty reduction compound into a 20%+ session productivity lift for active players. Garage Plus costs 399 Robux and yields a 200% multiplier to baseline part income. It also decreases the AFK (Away From Keyboard) penalty reduction metric by 50% and expands maximum vehicle inventory capacity by +8 slots. The +8 inventory slots are the headline benefit. Without Garage Plus, players are forced to wait for individual auctions to clear before initiating subsequent repairs. With Garage Plus, players can hold multiple appreciating assets on the auction block while actively engaged in repairing another chassis. The 200% part income multiplier means that for every container purchased, a Garage Plus owner receives effectively three parts' worth of value from a non-owner. This single multiplier shaves weeks off the Legendary vehicle grind. If you only ever buy one gamepass, buy Garage Plus. The VIP gamepass is the second-strongest option for active players, applying a 20% net revenue multiplier to fully repaired vehicle sales and a 1.25x walkspeed bonus.]]></description>
