Legendary cars dealer refresh

[skydragon49]

Grinding hard now for the Merc, and I also want to grab the E-Type although that's just chump change lol. Currently sitting at 15M in the bank. Should be enough time to do it with Sardegna grinds but I might have to sell my extra Vulcan. We'll see.

The new weeklies can give you a 1M and a change, also there're the special events replicating the races of the GTWS which can net you 500k each. So, 2M off the Sardegna grind.

I'm just taking a scientific approach. Save money until I can get the most expensive car I don't have yet.
I have now 31M cash, so will go Merc and hopefully will gather another 9M before the Alfa comes

In a purely strategic sense, assuming the ultimate goal is to collect all the cars you're better off buying cars that aren't 20M first because they can sometimes go up quite a lot in price over time. 20M cars are at least going to never cost more than that...

what, the weekly race things? LOL...I stopped bothering with those ages ago. They almost always require at minimum an hour and aren't something I enjoy anyway which immediately makes running Sardegna twice for 1.5M the better option (especially when the big prizes include parts or engine tickets!). The only thing I'm really interested in doing in "game" terms is the weekly Time Trial events - which are also a money-loser in purely credits-per-hour terms but at least I enjoy the challenge (although the last few events have been more frustration than enjoyment). I really don't get much enjoyment from racing at all to be honest. I enjoy GT for the driving...all I really need are cars and tracks to drive them on.

The post-1.54 price changes as of patch day:

• 5 cars will increase in price
• 12 cars will decrease in price
• 12 cars have an unknown post-1.54 price
• The net increase is 451,500 Cr. (0.17%)

yes, you are right from a strategic standpoint. I already have most of the cars and prefer to have a "now it's downhill" approach. If I go bottom up I may get bored at some point. Right now I'm not, so I want to get rid of the monsters first.

@skydragon49 : what is that "special events replicating the races of the GTWS"?

Top-right of the World Map, two events based on the upcoming World Finals, same as there usually is.

Whoa! Had no idea they were there, just thought it was a link to a replay of the stream.

After my post yesterday, I had a bit luck
Background: I spared in the last 3 weeks the tickets I got, to have chance to win the after update things (cars parts etc.), because of the ps5 pro launch, I was certain an update is coming. So since 24.10.2024 I spared the tickets, I had the day before yesterday 37 of them:

and that's why I was able to percisly buying the Merc, an Escort, a sport tyre for the Escort and 3 times car washing, and make the photo (I had unopened the tickets for the weekly also, I opened from the ca. 22 joker ticket, 2x 500k, some parts, and some additional credit ca. 80k), and still had 8 tickets (+ the daily was not achieved yet):

after that I opened the remaining 8 tickets (+ the 1 daily), and comes the lucky part: get 2x 1m credits:

so if you are poor the game is more generous whit you (or just simply random happend )

Probably question already answered... what is the frequency of car appearance ?
If I let the new merc pass when it will be up again?

I believe the LCD rotation is three months. However, newly added cars may return sooner and then start the longer rotation.

I guess something more or less around 2 months and half and 3 months.

Sure, there are cases cars took longer or a shorter period than that to return. (Remember the long absence of the Suzuki Escudo? Or cars may return sooner than expected as a special pick)

Hello does anyone know when these cars will appear in the rotation?
BMW M3 '97 (used car dealership) Subaru Impreza Rally Car '98 (legend car )

I'm thinking the M3 might be returning shortly. Maybe beginning of next week. The last one was red and appeared beginning of November.

I'm not sure of the Subaru.

I'm seeing the Honda RA272 doesn't have an expected end date. The NSX R in the UCD and Civic EG are available in the UCD. Maybe something involving the Honda esport event in Japan this weekend?

 

[Kurlee66]

Wow, a very expensive day! I bought 19 Honda RA272s for my ‘60s F1 grid and another Mercedes W196. I guess I have some grinding in my future 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

The 1997 M3 should be a bit farther out; there are still a bunch of cars (46 give or take) that were last available before it in the UCD queue. The Subaru isn't expected until the new year as it last was in the regular rotation 10/5-10/14.

As for the RA272, the reason why it doesn't have an expected end date is it is a Special Pick. That said, as it showed up on a Monday night (Americas time) when the normal Special Pick does, it should sell out this coming Sunday night.

[RACECAR]

Well gents, looks like I am not getting that Merc OR the Escort in the most recent update: My PS5 will NOT read my GT7 disc despite doing it just fine yesterday. Odds are by the time I get a replacement, both cars will likely be gone and I have two massive holes in my Update review that will likely take over a month given how long these take to show up. And here I was thinking making the Merc 20,000,000 credits was beyond cruel for someone like me who only has been playing for the last 4 months, only for it to not even matter...

So I'm gonna have to go back to relying on others to tell me what cars are nearly out of stock or are showing up the next night.

Isn't the Alfa long overdue to return? I am waiting for it too.
