Yeah, that's what they said it was for. So we have the "normal" garage. Then there's the "Favorites", and the "Stockyard". Makes you wonder what you can or can't do with either of them. Have a car in the Stockyard...? - Sorry, can't use it online! Please quit the online room, move it to Favorites and come back!
But seriously, what could it be for? You have the main bulk of cars in the Stockyard, a selection in the Main Garage and again a selection of those in the Favorites...? Why not just add a couple of user-defined garages, so one could actually group them how it makes sense?
Maybe it's just so you can minimize loading times in default view in the garage? If loading gets too long, you could move some cars into the Stockyard. Not the most elegant solution, but at least better than GT5.

I think you hit the nail on the head. If it's in the stockyard, you may not be able to use it online. If that is the case it does suck if you end up in a room and want to use a rare car and can't pull it up. It's definitely a missed opportunity on PD's part not to include user defined garage areas. How they expect you to work with 1000+ cars when you have 5 or 6 minutes to get ready for an online race is beyond meYeah, that's what they said it was for. So we have the "normal" garage.

Exactly. A quick search through the correspondent/equivalent garage for the race would be a nice feature.

Agreed!Even if they chose to set up defined areas like Race Cars, Tuner Cars, Production Cars, Fantasy Cars, Historic Cars etc, it would be better than "Stockyard" and nothing else.

There is one huge advantage now that all cars are available in the dealership for me and that is I'll have far fewer cars in my garage. I'm very familiar with the cars I like from GT5 and that perform well, so my purchases will be limited to those specific cars along with trying out most of the new ones. I'll buy cars for specific online series as well. In GT5 I bought everything that came along that looked half decent in the UCD because I knew I may not see it again. I remember when I started running in @watermelonpunch 's VCRC and madly scoured the UCD for every vintage car I could find. I bought dozens that I never drove. Now I'll just buy what I need when I need it. In GT6 my purchasing will be much more streamlined and so will my garage.
Combined with my $Million bonus and 25 cars to start, I may be able to avoid offline career mode completely

That's true. It will also be easier to get a car that need for a specific race, instead of waiting whofor it to appear in the UCD. 👍There is one huge advantage now that all cars are available in the dealership for me and that is I'll have far fewer cars in my garage.

I think all cars should be in the dealership new but also some random used cars available for a cheaper price.

Seeing that the stockyard is for cars you rarely use, you basically put them there for "winter storage", I would not be surprised if you did indeed have to bring them out to the normal garage first.Sorry, can't use it online! Please quit the online room, move it to Favorites and come back!

There shouldn't have to be a difference to justify the UCD's place in the game.

Whether UCD is gone or not doesn't really bother me, the biggest travesty in GT5 was the complete absence of standard cars at the dealership, that was a big mistake. Now I can acquire all the cars that I want without having to check the UCD every 5 loadings. It's a shame if we lose UCD when you start a career tho, I cannot imagine we will be able to afford a Skyline or GTO, but I always gold all licenses before doing anything else anyway.

What's your point because my particular problem with the UCD is the same as others have mentioned - having money for a car, having the required level for the car but not being able to purchase the car because the UCD hasn't reached the correct rotation yet.
Nothing wrong with used cars, just asinine game mechanics.

The problem you have is not my point, I already left that behind.
It's the basic principle of buying used cars.

Wait so now that the UCD is no more does it mean that we have to 'break in' every car that we acquire?
I hope the used cars will be for sale at the dealers. With a greater chance to buy a rare model.
The rarer, the higher the price.
Like te Ferrari 250 GTO: around 18M US dollars. With a money system that makes it hard to get, restore and maintain.
In that way it becomes special to race a rare car. Not just like a hot hatch. Repare should be high also.

I think some of you are confusing "No more UCD" for "no more used cars".
Agreed. That's an important distinction a lot of people are not making.
Who know, maybe GT6 will have a system like GT2?
Although there are so few actual NEW cars in GT6 doesn't really make sense to have the distinction between new and used?
The UCD system was a complete waste of time. Combined with the car delivery animation, and inability to buy multiple cars at once it was a giant waste of time. All for crappy standard models. If it's really gone I'm happy with that. The OCD is an attempted fix to the crappy UCD game mechanic IMO.

Yes but you can kinda forgive that but mass produced 80s and 90s motors second hand is fine for me. Gives me a sense of uniqueness about my car.
Sure they can find a less annoying way of presenting and buying the cars in the UCD but for your first two or three cars that's all you should be able to afford . Animation for the first transaction followed by the ability to multiselect and checkout with multiple cars would be a welcome change plus the UCD offering perhaps 50 line listed used cars would be fine. They coukd even have regionalised car lots like USA UCD, with Acura and Infinite, Euro UCD for Yaris and honda EU spec and Asian UCD with true JDM only models...
