Record a new car with its identity, specification and prices
This guide records a new car in the inventory of the dealership.
Requirements: The Owner or Manager role. The monthly car limit of the plan must not be reached.
The dialog closes, and a message confirms that the car was added to the inventory. The car appears in the list with the stage Checked.
Select Cancel, the close button or the Escape key to discard the form. A click outside the dialog does not close it.

When a price uses another currency, an Exchange Rate control appears beside the amount. Leave the rate empty to use the published rate. When no published rate exists for the date, the control asks for a rate.
