Thanks. I'll have the full price update post up shortly, but with just the 13 race cars for which no engine swaps, no new engines and no new bodies are available, there's a net change of +123,500 Cr., with 3 cars increasing in price and 2 cars decreasing in price.

From 2/2 through 2/7, selling out 2/8. The real pisser is if the Dior Mangusta takes up a slot for nearly 6 months.
Did I mention that it's already April Fool's Day east of the Atlantic? I only wish it was a joke.

PD is DEFINITELY trolling us now. Perhaps when they get this out of their system, we'll finally see the hostage Escudo, Ford and Celica.
Aside from a '1984' style ninja update the deletes these cars from the garages of those who have them, in addition to a purging of all records of the cars' existence (trailers included), I am at a loss at how the devs could do anything worse.

Hopefully the F1 GTR '97 is back soon, IIRC it last appeared on the last the CLK-LM was in stock.

What's strange is that the game doesn't recognize that I own the car even though it's in my garage. It sure is an ugly livery, though.

How about the ratio of effort that you spend on grinding comparing with practices&enjoying the game ? Or you combine those two together,grinding for cars and enjoying it at the same time ?
As the cars cost so many CRs, whch means it will take huge times to buy every car.
Another good strategy can be just buy those must be bought 10 cars or what ever numbers of the must have cars, then keep drive&play the GT game. Leave buying behind.

Grinding is a problem, but just one problem. The other one is retuning again and again and again...
I spent a lot of time on grinding and applying tunes to the cars (most I took from tuners in this forum - Thank you for providing your tunes and your patience of doing it again and again...).
My idea was to have a huge pool of cars I like, all of them with liveries and tuned so that they are a pleasure to drive. So I just can take a car out of my garage and enjoy it.
But this doesn't work, because PD does significant changings in the physics every few months. So the effort of retuning is enormous (and to do the settings with the 🎮 on the Playstation takes time). You even loose the overview (because one can just mark and filter favorites but not different versions).
It was my first GT, so I didn't know PD. For a PD game (first selling a product and then optimizing it) I took the wrong strategy.
I would recommend to buy just a handful cars (some MRs, some RRs, some FRs, perhaps some FFs). The most expensive ones are not always worth the money (at least until 1.31 😅).
For few cars you can do the retuning and you will have time to really enjoy them.
Then you can really enjoy them, because you also don't need to grind because you don't need hundreds of millions of credits. So you can run on more than 4 races (perhaps five with the new WTC 800).
Most of us know every single water puddle at Tokyo and Le Mans.
And then one perhaps also can appreciate PD's physics changings. Most of them make something better, but the price of retuning hundred cars is too high.
Cheers

Issue is there are incentives to buy lot of cars (those I'd like to have, those the game "asks" me to get, those for the legendary trophy), and if you follow PD's directions, you are "supposed" to get all cars.
BUT the amount of credits needed is huge, and the ways to earn a good chunk of credits "rapidly" are rare.
Even if you are a enough talented driver to gold all CE without spending hours listening to Sarah, it only get you 10% of the credits to get all cars.
Then you may be getting a rare 500k from the wheel, even 1M, but it won't take you that far.
You may win some cars from the wheel too, and get some from licenses and missions.
I don't enjoy grinding, so I do one race here and there.
And I don't play a lot either. I stopped playing from beginning of may 22 and resumed playing in the end of februrary 23.
I wish the rewards were consistent and proportionnal to the length and difficulty of an event. And same rules for custom races.
Plus much better rewards for playing online. A driver winning a race in a A+ lobby with a 10 lap race should win at least 1M cr. 5M would be fair IMHO, he would still need 500 victories to buy one of each car in the game.

Forgive the divergence from the OP, but please indulge me for a moment. The purchase value of all the cars that count in the Car Collection menu is now a shade over 500.3 million Cr. (plus the 500,000-Cr. Dior Mangusta). Of course, you don't have to actually buy all the cars; some of them you will win in the course of getting through the 39 original Menu Books, and some more you can win through license tests, missions, Extra Menus, and the luck of the draw in championships during those 39 original Menu Books.
As of April (there are a couple of Hagerty's cars awarded as prizes that went up in price since then), the ones you're guaranteed to win by completing the original 39 Menu Books (and getting bronze for your National B and National A licenses) were worth 10.4 million Cr. Depending on your luck in the championship events (and whether you bought the Ford or the Toyota to complete the pickup menu book), that could rise to just under 12.7 milion Cr. Adding in golding all the missions and licenses is another 11.7 million Cr. (again, as of April) you don't have to spend. The three Extra Menus that award cars is another 1.75 million Cr. you don't have to spend, though not all of the cars required to complete them are prize cars, and if you dumped or sold the last examples before claiming the Extra Menu, you'll have to buy another copy.
That knocks down the most you have to spend to buy every car to, depending on luck in the championship events and driving skill, between 475.1 million Cr. and 489.9 million Cr. On the Plus account, I netted just under 3 million Cr. in the races I did while working through the menu books (one time through, not first or clean in all of them in that time through, counting the tuning necessary to get those results, but not counting the roulette wheels earned or the National B/National A license tests, circuit experience at Red Bull Ring, or the single mission race required to progress). Adding in golding all the missions, licenses and circuit experiences adds another 67.1 million Cr. in cash (in addition to the value of the aforementioned cars earned).
That means, even if one has enough skill to get all the money and cars available from the original 39 Menu Books, circuit experiences, licenses and missions, uses the Extra Menus to get the three cars from there, and didn't get a single unique car from the roulette wheel, one would have to earn or win, then spend, an additional 404 million Cr. to 407 million Cr. to complete the car collection (and another 500,000 Cr. for the no-count Dior Mangusta). With the value of the Hagerty's cars you can win at about 4 million Cr. (give or take the Dodge Challenger that is a possible championship prize), that means about 312 million Cr. of that spending will be in Hagerty's.
Assuming Nenkai is right about the Escudo coming back on 4/6, I would expect the Roadster to come back around 4/20 as it last left Hagerty's 2 weeks after the Escudo.PD please mercy us!!!!!
Where is Ford roadster???
🤡 🤡

I only buy cars I like and can use. So many cars I have zero interest in and enough cars I do have an interest in. Sadly, for me, the ones I do like are mostly at Hagerty's. I have a thing for classics, engineering gems and LM or F1 race cars.
For now, the only car I anticipate is the Roadster.
Bought the Alfa 8C and 300SL yesterday and now own all the currently listed cars at Hagerty's, including the Mangusta.

Well I mucked up again yesterday thanks to having too many games on the go at once so I missed out on the Aston Martin DB3S '53 as I knew it was about to sell out but by the time I got to 7 yesterday I had hit 1am so it was sold out.
I take it the rotation cycle is still 120 days so I am probably looking around June/July time for it to reappear?

In more ways than one. The 1,100,000-Cr. price increase to 11,400,000 Cr. is the biggest thus far, and only the 12 race cars that don't have new engines/new bodies and aren't sources for engine swaps can bust that.
