Suggestion - 2nd Test Drive option for PDM

[MetaHatter]

Assurance

I have read the README.md

Summary

Add a 2nd test drive option. $8k down payment for a 30 minute rental of a fully upgraded PDM car. The dealer gets $750 and $7250 is held by PDM. Person returns the car before the 30 minutes, they get $7250 back. They don't return it when the 15 minutes elapses, they're out the full $8k and it breaks down and is unrepairable (to add work for tow job).

Reason

To add additional incentive to work PDM and provide a way for people to test drive the vehicle as intended (fully upgraded).

Having it perma-break will add additional potential towable vehicles for the tow job.

I like it, however would not make it despawn or break down randomly since that feels weird but could flag the car as stolen automatically maybe and you forfeit your deposit

[MetaHatter]

Only concern would be that test driving becomes the preferred choice over purchase for job vehicles. If there's enough of a deterrent to that it works for me.

Forfeiting the deposit should always happen when the rental timer expires.

Other Ideas for potential deterrents (mix and match)

• Not being able to be garaged (obviously, just recording so it's remembered)
• Not able to be repaired or costs more to repair
• After the time expires it's reported stolen and a non-hackable tracker similar to boosting is triggered

Another alternative, limited Gas and it can't be extended. Such as setting it at around 50% or so, so it works similarly to the 20-30 minute timer. This would definitely mean, you can not refuel it for a bank or so and it "breaks down" after the timer is done, since you can't refuel it.

[coalaura]

the fuel idea sounds nice, i really like the tracker idea too, that would definitely make it unusable for banks, etc

[MetaHatter]

Hypothetically, the tracker could also show for tows if certain conditions are met. To cover if PD isn't on for cleanup.
