If you want to get the Good as New trophy/achievement in Mafia: The Old Country, the good news is you don’t have to wait until late in the game to do it. While the story doesn’t normally let you drive a car until later, there’s a quick trick you can use right after finishing Chapter 2 to unlock it much earlier. This guide will walk you through the fastest and easiest way to get it done in the game.
How to Complete the Good as New Trophy / Achievement
Normally, you don’t get to drive cars until further into the story, but there’s a little trick you can use right after Chapter 2. Once you finish Chapter 2, the Carcyclopedia will unlock in the main menu. Go back to the menu, open the Carcyclopedia, pick any car you want, and you’ll get the option to load into the game with it.
The only catch is that, right after Chapter 2, you might not have any cars unlocked yet. If you link your 2K account, you’ll get the Garzia Tumulto as a free gift. If not, you’ll just have to wait until you own a car before you can do this.
Once you’re in the game with your car, it’s time to destroy it, just crash into walls, fences, or anything solid until it can’t drive anymore. Then hop out, walk to the front, and you’ll see a prompt to fix it. You’ll play a short crank-start mini-game, and once you finish, the achievement/trophy will pop.
If you’d rather not use this shortcut, you can simply wait until you naturally get a car later in the game, then wreck it, and repair it the same way, and you will complete the achievement.
