I just played through a few more years and the company is doing pretty well.
The sales of the old Phaeton design dropped but the new Phaeton design took up the lost sales and increased on them.
The Compact design started to outpace the Phaeton in sales in 1907-8 for some reason and its now doing really well itself. Once its 4 years old ill work on a new model design for it as well, hopefully making a more competent design this time.
Im selling about 2-4k vehicles per month at this point across all my models, giving me enough money to spend a good 150k per month on Research teams and probably more in the future. With this im still making 300k+ per turn.
My nest egg of money is around 10mil, which makes me consider either increasing my research or trying to invest/buy into other companies.
My prices and volume of sales along with the heavy marketing/branch is putting pretty serious pressure on the competition in London from what i can see. Many have dropped out and the existing ones(still 5-10 of them) are selling less vehicles than they did 3-4 years ago.
As a side project I finished what is basically a concept component and vehicle design, with max sliders for the purposes of assisting the research teams.
I set its demographic to super wealthy, with a selling price of 7k. If i can sell a few hundred over a few years probably less than 10 per month, i should be able to cover the R&D costs of the vehicle at least.
Ive also put this vehicle into racing just to see how it will do.
At the time i wasn't really intending to make a race car, so its mostly just a design with good stats.
That said, its a 79hp Straight 6, which should be good for pre 1910 so it might do allright.
Ive attached a screenshot of it.
