Ever want to live the wholesome life of a used car salesman? Well, now you can!
Used Cars Simulator, released in April 2025 by DreamWay Games and PlayWay S.A., is an indie title that blends car trading, repair, and open-world chaos. Available on Steam Early Access for $13.49 (with a 10% launch discount), it’s a physics-based sandbox for gearheads and simulation fans. While its ambitious scope shines, mixed Steam reviews highlight both its charm and flaws.
Gameplay Overview
In Used Cars Simulator, players run a car business, buying, fixing, and selling vehicles—legal or stolen—in a dynamic open world. You’ll restore rusty classics, customize cars with paint and upgrades, and tackle quests or drifting challenges. The game’s physics-driven mechanics and moral choices, like risking police chases for illicit deals, create an immersive experience reminiscent of Car Mechanic Simulator and My Summer Car.
Mixed Reception on Steam
With 69% positive reviews from 207 Steam users, Used Cars Simulator divides players. Fans praise its detailed repair system and open-world freedom, ideal for car enthusiasts. However, repetitive gameplay, low profits, and clunky mechanics—like eating and drinking—frustrate many. Bugs, such as car lift issues and awkward controls, further dampen the experience. Developers actively engage on Discord, promising updates, but some players recommend waiting for polish.
Should You Play?
Used Cars Simulator is a promising indie for those who love cars and don’t mind Early Access quirks. Check it out on Steam if you’re ready for a chaotic automotive adventure, or hold off for future updates.
