It depends on how much it was increased, but I think we likely would have to wait two months for all cars to show up with a faster rotation, because over the past couple of weeks it appears to have slowed down considerably. At the current pace it would probably take in between three or four months for it to complete a full cycle.
I think it takes around, what, 10 days for the offering to be fully replaced? As in each car stays in the legend dealership for 10 days + 1 day "out of stock". According to GTPlanet there are 56 legend cars, so it should take around 2 months for the whole rotation. I think that checks out, right? It's been 2 months since launch and we're almost done with the whole rotation. If they sped that up to, say, have each car appear for 3 days, with no pointless "out of stock" status afterwards, they could go through the whole rotation in around 2 weeks.
I mean, that would be better, yes, but if they want to stick to this idea of a rotating dealership they seriously have to speed it up. I couldn't afford some of the more expensive cars when they first appeared and couldn't be arsed to grind 20 hours to get one and have now been waiting almost 2 months for them to appear again.
As @CustomX summarized it's all about longevity, whilst it may be 'frustrating' to have to wait for the car to reappear in the rotation the formula works for keeping people playing games because they know the person will come back on and play when that vehicle becomes available.
Because microtransactions have polluted the franchise. Time-limited availability makes people more likely to panic over “limited stock” and then they might rush to purchase credits on the PS Store. When greed informs game design.
I am in this camp, especially after all the shenanigans that happened a few weeks after release. I had almost 16 mil in credits and was "afraid" to spend any of it in anticipation of the McLaren GTR short to drop. It's not the only time I've not wanted to spend my credits in anticipation of a Legend car that might show up.
yeah they started out like that undoubtedly and I was right at the front of the queue telling them all about themselves, but they have made an effort to fix it by upping the payouts, they just need to go a bit further and get rid of this ridiculous rotation which serves no purpose other than, as you say stimulating a broken MTX economy.
It wasn't available for purchase - @wasenhorn has a list of all Hagerty's updates from 2/23 (and the 12/17 pre-Hagerty's State of Play) through 4/15, and the Pikes Peak was sold out on 2/23. It is a guaranteed prize car, though.
The increased payouts are overrated as chance of receiving worthwhile daily roulette tickets has apparently become much smaller. Before the update it was not uncommon for me to win 1,000,000 cr. on a roulette, but after the economy “fix” I’m lucky when it on rare occasions gives me 30,000 cr.
That's it. And I ok with that, I mean, everyday I login and wish that they have put the car that I'm waiting for so long in the dealership, but we have to wait. In my wishlist have: 911 GT1, Sauber C9, CLK-LM (I couldn't afford buy both F1 GTR and CLK) and others, but is good that they have implemented this rotation, keeps the game "alive" and people in the meantime buy another cars and save money for the "wishlist cars"

Exactly.
... You were gaining 1 million "commonly"? That was just your huge luck. You can't get 1 million without a 5 or 6 star tickets, 4 star tickets are like a 0.5% chance of getting 1 million.
