Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.26 is Now Available: Adds Road Atlanta and Car Selling Feature

What for? They're empty.

Could be for those who do league races (myself included)

 

[RobertHammer]

More options for the lobbies the better

 

[aguia]

I only have 9 karts to sell, i bought them for 90,000 cr they are like new 0km and i know i will lose a lot of money.

To make them not empty again

 

[hardvibes]

To make them not empty again

That won't solve anything. That's not the core of the problem with user created lobbies. People want quickmatches, matchmaking. In other words Sport Mode, but it's very limited in terms of races.

 

[fortbo]

Honestly thrilled that they finally added one of if not the best tracks in the US! In my opinion nothing really rivals the elevation change and flow that Road Atlanta offers and unlike a lot of tracks today, it’s fun in both high powered cars and low powered cars.

 

[breyzipp]

OMG!💰💰💰

You’d think there’s an option in lobby setting for ghosting during quali.

Just realised "lobby". I'm thinking Daily races. Surprised quali isn't in lobby settings already.

The best part of this update is the ability to sell cars. Now we don’t have to keep hearing/reading people moaning they can’t sell cars 🔥

Jokes aside, I hope PD can now work on quality of life improvements such as the HUD, cockpit view, qualifying in lobbies and custom races, sophy, more options for custom races, better payouts, more events, better ffb, better penalty system, etc.

But hey, you can sell cars now. 🥳 I’m happy for you guys.

Oh, it won't stop there. We'll see what we can and can't sell. Plus, we don't know how the appraisal works exactly. How long does the process take to clear a garage? Just you wait.

 

[AutumnalGlow]

There will certainly be complaints about how car selling works. I do think they've overcomplicated it a bit but I just can't be bothered anymore. It is what it is.

Those increased Sport mode payouts though... it's temporary and it still doesn't bring them up to where they should be permanently. I just don't get it.

 

[Touring Mars]

The irony is, it's so difficult to buy expensive cars in GT7 that I literally don't have any to sell other than a few of the aforementioned Honda NSX Rally Cars (which mysteriously appeared in my garage for some reason...

)

That said, the ability to sell cars will come in handy for my retirement, when I plan to sell my awesome collection of JGTC GT500s and spend my Cr. on a new pipe and some cosy slippers.

Imagine Luca's face when you show up to Andy's car lot to have all those menu book cars sold.

Luca: AM I A JOKE TO YOU!?

Yes, yes you are Luca.

Again, it's hardly my fault you chose a really, really bad example to try to support your point. Pick better examples that aren't easily demolished with even passing familiarity with them, and stop blaming other people.

It is amazing that you are clinging so hard to this matter but decided not to answer question of what is the sense behind locking ability to sell behind menu book but post after post you decide to keep picking on that I gave one bad example and clinging to it so hard and even after I decided to change example you are still picking on it. You are weird.

 

[kjb]

It would be kinda of neat to see the UCD flooded with NSXs

 

[SSQES]

Imagine if in the patch notes, you see something along the lines of this:

"Please note that while gift cars can be sold, cars that have been earned through Extra Menu #2 cannot be sold."

Would be next-level hating for all the NSX Gr. B aficionados.

Screaming internally

I don't think it was a poor example. And I wouldn't go so far to say it was demolished. You shouldn't edit your own opinion to please others who don't want to understand your point of view.

What sense is there in locking anything behind anything? It's a game, things get locked behind progress. And the menu books really aren't a big barrier to car selling. It's a non-issue.

He's gonna have a shock if he goes back to GT5 or GT6 or GT4 and finds entire event categories locked behind progression.

It's amazing that you're putting so much effort into arguing with the person that runs this site. You are weird.

Probably something along the lines of this:

Day 7(?) of engine swap glitch

I remember FM3 (especially since I've replayed it quite a few times). Late game races were locked behind high driver levels. That took a whole lot more time than these menu books (which is a problem in GT7, but not relevant here).

I didn't feel like there was some problem with this, even as a kid. I just accepted it and kept racing until I got those levels.

The menu books take like 10 hours if you take it slow, during which time you have no real reason to sell or buy cars anyway as the game keeps giving you what you need to get through. After that, you can sell whatever you don't still want. It's fine. Of all the problems GT7 has, this isn't really one of them.

It is amazing that you are clinging so hard to this matter

Again, getting pissy with people who aren't angry about the same things you are is your issue. Thus far you've accused me of "mental gymnastics" and "clinging... to this matter", and called me "smartsy pants" for answering the question "Do you need to finish Skyrim before selling stuff to NPC?".

I'm responding to your posts. If you don't want people responding to your posts, don't make them.

but decided not to answer question of what is the sense behind locking ability to sell behind menu book

Not sure why I'm beholden to a question I wasn't asked, but the answer is "lots of things in games are locked behind game progress". It's how games work (even the example you gave).


I get that you're cross about it for some reason, but don't take it out on other people who aren't.

 

[DonkeyDoctor]

Excited for this too! For example, is my widebody Enzo Ferrari going to be worth less than an unmodded version with less KM ? Do I include the expensive BBS wheels and racing suspension I installed on my Fiat Abarth , or sell them privately?

While it makes sense to have car selling be locked behind cafe progression as not all parts of the game are available from the get go, it doesn't make much sense for it to only unlock upon 100% completion.

Why isn't it unlocked once you unlock the UCD (where the feature itself is located) or LCD or even a menu unto itself? We have a menu dedicated to washing your car, why not have one that walks you through selling it too?

What's to say there won't be? Perhaps that's why it unlocks when it does. Plus, the cafe game mode is about car collecting, I get why it wouldn't be available while progressing through that part of the game.

Same reason we don't get the entire upgrade shop at once, I guess? It's not new for these to have bits that stay locked until you progress further.

Selling a car or part of your collection is an intimate part of the whole process of car collecting. At least in the real world, no?

Isn't that more tied to your collector level? Would actually make a lot of sense to have car selling be tied to that also instead of just "complete the menu".

Presumably to stop players from selling cars that they need to complete a Menu Book, and then not being able to complete that book without buying their way out of it. Then again, a situation like that would only be helpful for Kaz and PD, so it's surprising they locked selling behind completing the menus.

EDIT: Just realised you'll probably only be able to sell duplicates anyway. That kinda undoes my entire argument...

Honestly, I don't remember which it was. I got through all that in early March. They essentially go together as the menus throw so many cars at you anyway.
