What to know

  • It’s a purchasable magazine that lists used and occasional new car parts
  • Ads include phone numbers you must call to place orders
  • Listings refresh on a fixed weekly schedule
  • It’s one of the cheapest ways to source essential Corris Rivett build parts

The Classifieds Magazine is a core item in My Winter Car. It acts as an in-game second-hand marketplace where locals advertise car parts using printed ads and phone numbers. Instead of walking into a shop and buying everything new, you rely on these listings to slowly source parts needed to rebuild and improve your project car while keeping costs under control.

Because money is tight early on, the magazine becomes one of the most important tools for advancing at a steady pace without grinding unnecessary jobs.

Where to buy the Classifieds Magazine

You can buy the Classifieds Magazine from the PSK Fuel Station store. It’s usually placed alongside other magazines inside the shop. Once purchased, it stays as a physical item in your inventory and can be opened at any time to read the current adverts printed inside.

Each magazine only contains the listings that were active at the time you bought it. Buying a new copy after the refresh cycle is the only way to see updated ads.

How the Classifieds Magazine works in My Winter Car

The magazine itself doesn’t sell parts directly. Instead, it connects you to sellers through phone-based orders, which fits perfectly with the game’s slow, realistic pacing.

How to read adverts

Each advert includes:

  • The name of the part
  • A short description
  • A phone number

Parts shown are randomized every refresh cycle, so you may not see what you need right away.

Step 3: Use the home phone

Go to your house and dial the number using the phone. Stay on the call until the conversation fully completes. Hanging up too early will cancel the order.

Step 4: Wait for delivery notice

After a short in-game delay, a delivery notice appears in your mailbox, confirming the order is ready for pickup.

Step 5: Collect the package

Return to the PSK Fuel Station, pay for the order at the counter, and pick up the delivered part from the designated area.

How often do listings refresh in the magazine

Classifieds listings refresh on a fixed schedule, typically twice per in-game week. When the refresh happens:

  • Old adverts disappear
  • New randomized parts appear
  • Existing magazines do not update automatically

This means checking the store regularly and buying a fresh copy after each refresh is essential if you’re hunting for specific components.

Why the Classifieds Magazine matters for progression

The Classifieds Magazine is one of the most important systems in My Winter Car because it:

  • Offers cheaper alternatives to brand-new parts
  • Enables gradual car assembly instead of instant completion
  • Introduces randomness that affects planning and pacing
  • Encourages routine store visits and time management

Many essential components are far easier or cheaper to obtain through classifieds than through direct purchases, especially during early and mid-game stages.
