if this is meant to be RP'd as the used dealership is going to take over, and there's going to be massive layoffs of dealers because of the reduced RP opportunities, that's fine. Competition is good, otherwise, here's my suggestion.
Used cars have a down side, and asking people to not buy from the used dealer due to pure rp is just not going to work. So I'm going to suggest some kind of coding change. The biggest thing is that used cars don't have a full warranty, can be poorly modified, and are more warn, meaning higher amounts of upkeep generally.
I'd suggest one of a few methods for this;
1) Have a cost per removal from garage (the more you use it, the more warn it becomes) that slowly increases. That way when you buy a used car, you're taking on the upkeep from its current age. This also increases RP, "I don't want to buy that broken heap of junk," or "I only take this classic out on special occasion."
2) If setting it up similar to rent, but have the rent amount increased by like a dollar per month.
3) When sold, remove the ability to have armour, simulating the fragility of used cars.
4) As a car ages, decrease the amount of armour available
5) suspend used dealership until something appropriate can be implemented, or just keep it not marked on the map until such time.
I was considering opening a used dealership myself for a while, and I think it's great that he's successful, but it's impossible to enforce the RP of used cars onto people, these cars are a freaking bargain. And the server just isn't ready for implementing such things.
