I just tested some of my cars again (new and used one's) and what i saw is the following:
New cars, and low-mileage ones are relatively cheap to restore the rigidity, assuming you don't crash them.
But if you have a lot of crashes and a high-mileage car, it seems that the cost is around 50% of the buying price. E.g: 25000 for a 56xxx Peugeot 205 T16, or 15000 for my 3xxxx Jag E-type (having over 250000km on it)
So if you buy an expensive used car, it has to be clear to you that it is not going to be cheap.
By the way: I used the Jag for like 10 races before having the rigidity restored, and I drove rather fine, so there's no need to reinforce as fast as possible as the price didn't race over the additional distance / 4-5 minor crashes.
That's what I encountered
Offtopic: How do you find my English? I think it's good for someone whose mother tongue is Swiss German? I just want to know from someone who is "more" familiar with it.
Thanks

Why is this being discussed still? The 'restore rigidity', as well as the 'engine overhaul' are ONLY related to mileage, not damage. Furthermore, if you are restoring chassis rigidity after every race, you are simply wasting a colossal amount of money. Do yourself a favor and STOP. It probably so minutely effects performance that it would not be noticeable.

Your English is great! I'm learning French myself and I couldn't possibly write something in that language as coherent as what you just did.
Good job! 👍- 8

Are you sure?
My brand new "Nissan NM-R Cup 01" that I won after a license/level completion had a rigidity bill of 12500 after 21.6 km of racing, crashing a couple of times.
BTW, I ended up paying for that repair as an exploration of that "feature", checking if the usual Yes/No confirmation box would appear (it doesn't!).

It's probably not a repair bill its more like a " Restore car to brand new original condition " bill.
Given the absurd asking price for it, it's clearly not something that you have to do. It does not seem to affect the cars performance, therefore there' not actually any point in paying for it.

If you buy a used car with 300,000km+ on it, then you might consider it. Otherwise it is a waste of money.

Is there anyway to turn off damage?

I think you better read the update on page 1 of this thread
I did, I found out why it only cost 500cr to repair my M3 Coupe after my B-Spec Bob crashed it to bits! xD
Thanks PD!

The thing about half the price of the car is simply not true
What my experience was:
Yesterday i drove the ft86 as a drift car, hit 2 times the barrier but not brutally.
Guess my bill for a car worth 100000 credits after 10 minutes drifting??
150000!!!
So until we are really clear about this feature, don't accept half trues
I think PD should limit the maximum to half the price of the car with a minimum of 20000.

Before you call the 1st post wrong, please take a look at the price of the FT86 in the Toyota dealership.
It is Cr.300,000 (half of which is 150,000).
I think you took the wrong 'price' of the car by accident.
The first post might still not be completely true, but as of yet I haven't found any evidence of that.

did a little test, bought a standard M coupe cost around 40k from used dealer. inital cost of engine rebuild 23k rigidity 43k fixed both, went out on track, drove like a twonk, few small bumps lots of red lineing......back to GT auto.....regidity repair 43k engine 15k.........repaired regidity, not engine, took it for a 5 perfect laps.....no redlineing no crashes, even avoided the rumble strips.......back to GT auto. regidity 43k WT*! engine still at 15k.........I'll check if I can reduce this by swapping out the high milage engine with tuning parts and samp with the 20K regidity pack in tuning. on a note on performance linked to regidity and engine overhaul.......I certainly experienced an improvement in engine pickup and a sharper feel to the handeling. though this didn't deteriate after the initial regidity and engine repair......maybe it will over time though there's a cap on the price to fix it. Either way, for the price it must have a conection to millage and damage from what I've experienced
You shouldn't base you assumtion on thought.
Here is a real deal :
I currently have Clio V6 (Premium) and 9 lvl. I raced this car few times. get some damage and price tag is 20k. I repeired it for 20k. Then in next race some cars crashed with me along.
20 k after one race. So i thought srew that i won't pay any cent if there is no mechanical damage.
So after like 15-20 races my Clio V6
- Don't go very fast. (I can't even win with bunch of Type r's
) - Gear changes sometimes on a whim of car
- It is going slightly left
and price tag for damage still 20k.
After rigity repair all my problems were solved.
About the price. I think there is a price cap as someone mentioned. Few times i got price like 5k or 10k. But most of the time it is 20k.
After short analysis of my crashing history i think you should all consider that this cap is veeery small. I litelary can't think that lambo who will bump other car when both cars are breaking from 100-150 km/h would have price tag of repair only a half of car cost. It would be literaly obliterated to ashes.
Even at speed of 60km/h or 50Km/s head on collision with wall with car like GTR will do some reeaaally big damage to point of sending car to junkyard.
Be thanfull to Kaz that you can't total your cars Because some minor 60 km/h crash for us would mean 90% times buying a new car.
edit:
and consider supercars sometimes have big parts from one big piece of metal or aluminium. One minor crash and for the whole car could be fatal.

I have a problem with the damage not going away when I repair my car. Prior to restoring the rigidity on my Fairlady Z, there was a loud thumping noise, like the sound of a flat tire or a body panel wobbling. But even after I repaired the car in GT Auto the sound will not go away.

As explained almost everywhere now ,it is not related to damage but to use. This cost occurred in GT4 too. It's the same, all they did was change the cost of it which is half the original value of the car.(exception for Collectors Edition cars, etc)
People see what they want to see I guess.

Wow I wish i had read this thread earlier. I just bought a Murcielago LP-670 SV and I accidentally crashed it in the Nurburgring. It gave a repair bill of 200,000 credits and I went ahead and payed it

Are you using G25/G27 by chance?

Do you have race music on or off?

The chassis restore was in GT4 as well, what's with all the confusion?
