Car Trader has the player bidding on wrecked cars, then click on a button to fix them, then click another button to sell them hoping to earn a profit. What happens when you earn a profit? Nothing. What happens when you lose money? Nothing. What happens if you don’t bid on a car? Nothing.
The most entertaining aspect of this “game” is reading the obvious knock-off car names and brands. For example, players can bid on a totally busted Yoyota or a Nizzun. Each car is displayed with a number of low res jpgs that must have been taking at a literal junkyard somewhere. Worst part is, the AI gets into a bidding war, making insane purchases for wrecked vehicles. Would pay a slick five grand for a completely totally sedan, then pump another few thousand to fix it? The dumb AI will and without a second thought. It is also weird that the UI looks like it was made for a touchscreen interface but instead the player has to awkwardly select from a menu that doesn’t indicate which option is highlighted.
Like Car Mechanic Manager, Car Trader is pretty terrible; there are Excel spreadsheets that are more entertaining.
Not As Good As: organizing your financials using a spreadsheet
Better Than: wrecking your own car

This press “A” simulator is laughably terrible
