4.3. Selling Cars (Nightlife Required)
----There are two ways to sell cars in the game:

Home Business:

You want to sell lots of cars from home? Create a large lot. Fill it with driveways and extensions. Make a narrow two story house off to one side of the lot. The offices downstairs have large windows and a door facing the driveways, an employee break room and a restroom. Of course, a customer lounge area, desk, chairs, and a computer & phone.

Make a separate living area upstairs with it's own entryway. Be sure you lock the doors and make the entry Household Only, otherwise, you'll have lot visitors watching your tv and eating your food. You can pick any car out of buy mode and put them on the driveways. Use the Open and Closed sign for your business

Community Lot:

Create a lot, pave it and place your office where ever you want. Get the round car displays (in the OFB collection folder or in the Misc folder and put them on the lot.

To Place the Cars: - The owner has to be on the lot. YOU CAN NOT pick cars out of Buy Mode directly. The car category is normally greyed out on commerical lots. To place cars on the car shelves, you have to click on the Wholesale icon on the Business manager menu, located in the upper right corner of the screen. Once you are in wholesale mode, the cars in BUY MODE become available. Pick the ones you want and place them on the round car platforms. The wholesale mode makes them glow yellow. Now price them, either individually or as a class.

Answer 2

you need to place a driveway first. You can find that in the build menu.
