How to cycle days in the Used Car Dealer

GT Motion · Jan 22, 2011

I don't know if this has been posted, but you do not have to race in order to cycle the used car dealer.

Just enter a license test, then instead of starting the test click "Next license", then that will bring up the next license, and cycle 1 game day. After 5 game days the Used car dealer completely refreshes. I select B-1 then cycle through B-5, then exit out and check the cars. This is useful if you are looking for one specific car.

I didn't know about this until tonight, I am sure many others don't know as well. I guess this will be a good refresher for people searching.

What? Some mod hasn't come along to close this thing down yet?

Why would they? It doesn't hurt to have it up, I am on GTP and never knew about this until today, probably because noone posts about it anymore.

If you go and enter a grind race you can re enter it without skipping menus. Indy = 500,000 cr and fresh used cars I. 20 minutes

ragnar666 · Jan 22, 2011

with loading times, its actually quicker just entering a race and exiting and restarting race 5 times now.

GT Motion · Jan 22, 2011

I just tried your race thing, didn't work for me.

kingaraya · Jan 22, 2011

Dude i've been lurking these forums since GT5 was released, and I have only just seen this. I have been racing Sunday cup Autumn Ring over and over to refresh the UCD. No more!!!

huh? your not doing it right then.

load up any race, start race, quit race, do this 5 times.

tezster · Jan 22, 2011

Repeating the same Sunday Cup race 6 times using an X2010 might actually be quicker.

xcllr8 · Jan 22, 2011

Thanks GT Motion. Now time to find that car.

Why not just go race the Indy race for 5 minutes tops, and then go back to check the dealership? It's extra money and xp too.

It only takes a minute or so to do it this way, and sometimes (like my situation right now) I have refreshed the dealership about 10-15 times and still not found the car. So it would take significantly longer to do a race everytime.

You don't have to do the races, load up the race, 3, 2, 1, pause, quit......race again (ie green flag), 3, 2, 1, pause, quit. Repeat.

I just did that and it felt like it might be slightly faster, but two things that bothered me was you have to do a lot more button pushing which just felt annoying after about the 3rd time, and also, don't they track your win percentage? Like races entered/won? I don't want to take a huge hit on my races won from doing it that way.

It's not MIGHT be faster, it is faster, you only load track once, and you don't even need to wait for the countdown. As for win percentage, not sure, but I personally do not care about that in single player mode.

thanks guys. i didn't know about both methods.

so thanks for all. Don't fight!

player2 · Jul 28, 2011

So I am an old guy and 'way behind the times - I only just got to grinding out the Used Car lot.

Free Run seems a quickish way to cycle the lot - no need to start the run, just load/quit/repeat.

Did anyone (Famine?) get a conclusive number of days for the complete Used Car cycle?

(btw. IPad doesn't like your zip file

)

player2 · Aug 10, 2011

Anyone know the number of days in the UCD cycle please?

Slash · Aug 10, 2011

Theres 2 master lists and I've seen them up over 1600 GT days. I think both end around 1800.

thesrdic · Aug 10, 2011

you can enter a race, quit (to race menu, with drivin opts, steup etc), then re-enter quit 5 times, which is much faster for me than cycling licences

player2 · Aug 11, 2011

Thanks guys. A lot of days!

GranTurismo916 · Apr 23, 2012

I'm looking for another way to cycle the UCD, other than going through licence tests. Does anyone know how?

Joie de vivre! · Apr 23, 2012

race a-spec

seanneedscar · Apr 23, 2012

aspec, beginner class, first challenge, first race

start the race, then press start, then exit

do that 4 more times, then, exit the race and go back to gtlife. you have now cycled the entire ucd

people SAY that the lisence tests are faster. but they are wrong.

some people say to do this on b spec, because you have to press 1 less button to exit the race, but, i digress

DDAAVVIIDD82 · Apr 23, 2012

I know I've said this many times but here goes again...

B-Spec with your first driver (far left) available for career mode racing. Load the Autumn Ring Mini event in Sunday Cup and start/quit the race (not the event) a total of five times for a complete UCD cycle. Starting and quitting with B-Spec is bit easier thanks to the fact that you don't need to hit the start button or move the cursor, simply hit circle to get to the exit menu and x twice to first click the exit menu and second to actually exit the race. This particular event also loads quickly because of the simplicity of the track and the low umber of cars on it (8). Remember, load the event as you would in A-Spec and then start and quit just the race itself. Having your first driver available is an option but it's the default choice in the driver selection screen.

Thanks for the replies guys.

canucksfan1 · Apr 23, 2012

If you have the speed test DLC it is 2 over from the UCD and loads straight in. Exit out its a new day. Only takes a few seconds.

Rit · Apr 23, 2012

Any of the replies given will work quite well. If one is 10-20secs faster than another then who really cares.Is 10 or 20 seconds really worth arguing about.I mean nobodies time is that regimented is it?
