Legendary cars dealer refresh

[Nielsen]

I wonder if we'll be able to sell our legendary cars for more than we paid for them like they do in, you know, the real world.

Very probably not considering how far PD has gone to encourage microtransactions. They are still pursuing that agenda with sneaky economy adjustments.

Also, it would immediately turn into an exploit unless they limit how many instances players can buy of the same car in a rotation.

I doubt they'll put much into the sales system, it'll probably just the same basic sell for 50% or 75% of original value as the old games.

So.. F40 will cost 2 x more. Now we know why its appearance was postponed.

No, it won't. It didn't have an arrow its last appearance.

Now it could easily double in the August update.

Edit - Strike that; there are a lot of "stealth" price increases.

 

[Emet_PL]

No, it won't. It didn't have an arrow its last appearance.

Now it could easily double in the August update.

It was 1,350,000 before and based on the current new engine and body prices it will cost 2,600,000... so almost 2 x more.

 

[AmyUD06]

I seriously hope they raise the price on every future legendary car to 20+ million just to see the reaction of this crowd.

Says who?

Edit. Seen the posts above now. Understand your reasoning. Hope you’re wrong.

 

[Majorlazer]

Now the selling prices we (will) get will need to go up also. Even for those who bought cheaper. Otherwise it's not realistic and even perverse ...

Selling price should be based on actual miles driven and the condition of the engine and body rigidity.

 

[F30clubman]

Selling price should be based on actual miles driven and the condition of the engine and body rigidity.

Sounds logical, but I'm sure Hagerty also uses other parameters, like rarity and prices paid for a comparable model.

 

[QuagDingo]

And dynamic ‘real-life’ pricing (and let’s be honest, prices are only really going to go upwards) is insulting and idiotic when they won’t allow SELLING. Also something that happens a lot in ‘real life’. And in all previous GT games, Sport included.

I’ve barely played the game for a few weeks. Unless they allow selling soon I’ll prob never get back into it. They could do it in ten minutes, but they clearly want to postpone as long as poss for some reason. Pity, but there are other games out there...

Hopefully they allow us to sell gift cars as well. The two new menu books that gave us 6 star roulette tickets, both tickets gave me the Aston Martin Vulcan. I already had one so now I have 2 very very expensive cars that are useless to me. Knowing pd though, I highly doubt we'll be able to sell gifted/roulette cars.

Hate to say it, but @Emet_PL isn't wrong. I'm plowing through the Hagerty's cars I have that didn't have arrows, and there are a lot of "stealth" price increases.

 

[Grimm6Jack]

Gran Turismo 7 could introduce an auction where players who would like to sell their cars, could do so... to other players. But auction style instead of click and pay. You put the car on sale for 1 day, 1 week (you decide) in the online GT market and the highest bidder after that time passes, gets the car.


The potential this game has is immeasurable. Come on PD.

 

[MIE1992]

Why would you want to sell a legendary car? My plan was to have at least two of most road cars, with one to leave as-stock - barring some other tire compounds - and one to modify. Maybe even three, if we account for the potential regulation of widebodies.

Hopefully they allow us to sell gift cars as well. The two new menu books that gave us 6 star roulette tickets, both tickets gave me the Aston Martin Vulcan. I already had one so now I have 2 very very expensive cars that are useless to me. Knowing pd though, I highly doubt we'll be able to sell gifted/roulette cars.

While I do also hope they'll let us sell gift cars, I'd count your blessings to have two Vulcans. You can leave one as-stock, and then modify the other, especially with a reinforced rigidity upgrade which cannot be undone.

 

[Grimm6Jack]

Guys, I can confirm that the engine prices and the chassis prices on the tuning shop reflect the car's price.

So if the engine of said car is 1 million, the car is 2 million. Since all new engines are 50% of the car's price.
If the new chassis is 1 million, the car is 800.000. Since all new chassis are 1.25x of the car's price

What's the cost of the engine for the F40?

You can't modify the Vulcan with any kits IIRC... It's a "race car" so only tyres, suspension, LSD, and other non permanent tuning parts can be applicable.

 

[MIE1992]

Really? Because I could’ve sworn I saw a “reinforce rigidity” option available at the tuning shop.

 

[BirdDog72]

Why would you want to sell a legendary car?

I think it's when you buy a car for millions of credits and it turns out to drive like a dog and you find that there aren't even any race events to use it properly

 

[Grimm6Jack]

Ah, I forgot about those. I was talking about widebody kits that you buy in GT Auto.

I thought new chassis were 1.2x.

Speaking of that, of the 30 Hagerty's cars I do own, 15 of them had the costs of their engines/bodies increased (including 8 that never had an arrow, 4 that prior to the 1.15 update had no arrow and 1 that prior to the 1.15 update had a down-arrow), 7 that stayed the same, 7 that have no new engine or body to buy, and 1 that had the costs of its engine/body decreased (it had a down-arrow).

 

[Pizzicato1985]

Looks like the '70 Skyline Hardtop is going from 121k to 140.

-'84 GTO to 3.1mil (2.5mil before)
-Miura to 3.7mil (from 2.5mil)
-Ferrari 365 to 630k (from 555k)
-GT40 Mk1 to 6.26mil (from 5.6mil)
-1500 Biposto to 1mil (from 900k)
-Challenger R/T to 306k (from 253k)
-300SL Coupe to 1.4mil (from 1.1mil)
-Countach to 1.25mil (from 1.1mil)
-F1 to 19.4mil (from 18.5mil)

I've given up... Every single road car I've checked is going up anywhere from 10-25% and all of the racers I've checked have an "N/A" in the engine/new body since I've not altered anything that needs either to be repaired. So expect the 250 GTO/Daytona/Alfa 8c to be ~22mil. Since real-world inflation is getting worse every day, expect a further hike in August, lol. 🤡 🌎

Edit: Plymouth Ghia Roadster is still listing an 800k engine, and the 356 A/1500 Speedster is still at 750k engine (1.5mil) so I've found two that are not going up.

Superbird to 440k (347k)

I'm working on a spreadsheet as well to see just how dirty the pool PD/Hagerty's played on us. Adding your numbers to what I've been able to track, the increase is over 5,000,000 Cr.

Could you bounce me the new engine/body costs for the Muira, GT40, 300 SL, and F1 (and the Skyline)?

Sure can...

F1: Engine = 9,700,000 Body = 23,280,000
Miura: Engine = 1,700,000 Body = 4,080,000
GT40 MK1: Engine = 3,125,000 Body = 7,500,000
300SL: Engine = 700,000 Body = 1,680,000
Skyline Hardtop: Engine = 70,000 Body = 168,000

Let me know if you need any more of the road cars besides the Alfa 8c and Barker. Pretty sure those are the only road cars I'm missing. I'll check some more of the race cars but I'm pretty sure I've never altered engine or performed the chassis rigidity upgrade.

Thanks. Sent a PM on what else I'm looking for.

Thanks for keeping track of all of this, it's very helpful.

• 1960 Plymouth XNR Ghia Roadster

PRESUMABLY THE LAST DAY FOR:

Well, I hate this.

Sorry, I meant selling our own cars.

 

[BrunusCL82]

Finally I bought the C9.

I hope PD bring more cars from Group C. They are fantastic cars.

I just wish those cars would race with themselves. It's really uncomfortable, like a kick in the eggs, racing with modern LMP1s and Group C cars.

 

[Scotchboy]

It seems to be another bit of fortuitous timing from PD. Patch the glitch that allowed people to earn fast money, combine it with hiking the already high legend dealer prices, provide no replacement ways to earn decent money per hour. Typical.
I was still missing 112.2 million worth of legend cars... guess that number will rise sharply over the coming months. I don't see the fun in tying these prices to the real world when it's a game and not the real world. Why should the inflation and cost of living crisis invade our games?

 

[SeaNorris]

There is no justifiable reason other than they can have some boast about a tie in with a firm that has absolutely no benefit for the players of the game. In GT6 the McLaren F1 is 1m CR and I can buy it at any time in the colour I want rather than having to wait to pay a "real world" price in a colour I may not want it in (forget about the livery editor). I play games to escape some of the worlds realities but obviously PD don't want this.

 

[Dess81]

It seems like there will be 2 cars tomorrow:
McLaren F1 1994 18,500,000
Porsche 917K 1970 18,000,000

Not everyone can grind for 36,500,000 cr to buy both cars. What car would you like to buy more?

I really like McLaren F1 1994 in GT Sport. It was like the best road car with Race tires. But I'm affraid that it have problems with fuel and pit-stop every 2-3 laps (like Ferrari FXX), and it can't be used on WTC800-WTC700 events against Gr4-Gr3 cars. And it seems like McLaren F1 1994 and Pagani Huayra '13 are very simular (speed, corners, breaks). Pagani Huayra '13 with power setup shows 3 laps fuel on Sardegna). 18,000,000 cr whould be paid for really great car, I think. And I don't like McLaren F1 1994 cockpit, cos it's so dark. I can't really drive w/o race information in GT Sport, just can't see dashboard (even speed).

And what is about Porsche 917K1970? It has 753PP. Can it be good in WTC700 or WTC800? Has it fuel problems? It looks great.

I'll try to buy both of these cars, but it's so hard to grind more then 3M every day after last update.

If we get the F1 road car, it's going to be 19,400,000 Cr., not the 18,500,000 Cr. it was previously. The cost of the engine/body went up as part of the "stealth" Hagerty's re-valuation.

As for the restrictions, the WTC 800/700 has only a PP and tire restriction, not a class restriction. I've been using the Tomahawk S on the WTC 800 events and a rather tuned Focus RS on the WTC 700 ones (both on normal difficulty, though the Tomahawk should easily also handle the hard difficulty). It's only the Gr.3/Gr.4-specific events where you wouldn't be able to use the F1.
