Player-owned businesses in FiveM usually mean a static shop front and a job label. Pickle’s Dealership treats the car business as an actual operation: owners manage stock, set financing terms, run live auctions, and watch a financial dashboard that tracks weekly revenue against stock capacity. The NPC customer system does the heavy lifting on quiet server days — autonomous buyers arrive with budgets and preferences, score your inventory against their profile, and walk away or negotiate depending on their generated personality type.

Dealership Features

• Full financial dashboard — weekly revenue, total profit, and stock capacity at a glance
• NPC customers with dynamically generated budgets, vehicle preferences, and personality archetypes (haggler, impulse buyer, skeptic, walkaway risk)
• Live player auctions with configurable start bids, minimum increments, optional reserve prices, buyouts, and 3–30 minute durations
• Escrow-backed bidding — bids are held against the buyer’s bank, no bad-faith withdrawals
• Used inventory preserves the full vehicle history: mods, colour, wear, and customisations
• Player-configured financing terms: down payment 10–90%, interest 0–50%, intervals from hourly to weekly, up to 48-month terms
• Expedited delivery (auto-arrival surcharge) or local delivery via driver queue
• Police vehicle seizure and resale for city treasury income
• Imports from JG Dealerships and OKOK Vehicleshops for existing stock migration

Framework Compatibility

Supports ESX, QBCore, and Qbox out of the box. Requires ox_lib as a dependency. The escrow bidding system and financial ledger are framework-agnostic at the data layer — your money handling goes through the framework bridge, everything else runs independently.

The NPC System Is the Real Differentiator

Most dealership scripts rely 100% on player-to-player sales — fine on a 200-slot peak, dead weight during off-hours. The NPC customer system here scores each buyer’s personality against your live stock and generates a negotiation or walkaway outcome based on configurable probability weights. A skeptic with a $30k budget and a preference for sports cars won’t touch a lifted truck regardless of the price you set. That specificity creates a sales floor that feels populated even when the server is quiet, and it gives owner-operators a genuine reason to curate stock rather than just dump everything at max price.

Why It Works for Server Economy

The owner-controlled financing system is the feature most dealership competitors skip. Setting interest rates and repayment intervals ties vehicle ownership to long-term financial obligations — players who finance a supercar on a stretch budget feel the commitment, which feeds back into job activity and server engagement. It’s a small design decision with an outsized effect on economic depth.
