Used cars dealership in Gran Turismo 7

[Eggstor]

Wait...are you saying that brand central cars that appear in the UCD are sometimes more expensive "used" than "new?" As a rule, I never buy cars from the UCD if they are available in BC so I've never really paid much attention to the actual pricing, but I always just assumed they would be lower priced in the UCD.

No - it's that the 2002 Nissan Silvia is the first time a low-mileage Special Pick was less expensive than what it costs (or would cost) in Brand Central. The BC/new cost is 68,000 Cr., while the Special Pick version in the UCD is 62,000 Cr. All of the other Special Picks that had fewer than 3,000 miles cost what they would have had they been in Brand Central (twice the cost of a new engine/0.8 times the cost of a new body).

It also is the second time a car available in BC is a Special Pick; the 2002 Daihatsu Copen was a Special Pick the week the Lightweight K-Cup was a Special Event in the Weekly Challenges, though the mileage was significantly higher than the usual Special Pick. In fact, the 14,366 miles on the clock on that one was higher than the 11,378 miles it was the last several prior appearances (except for a 1-day flip to 37,031 miles in October) and the subsequent appearance earlier this month, yet its 16,000-Cr. cost, while lower than the 18,000-Cr. cost in BC, matched its UCD high when those examples had only 5,074 miles.

I guess what I'm confused about is why anyone would ever buy a low-mileage special pick car from the UCD when they can buy the same car with zero miles on it from brand central whenever they want? Is there something unique about the special pick cars that I'm un-aware of?

To save a few thousand credits. Not worth it in my opinion - I never buy anything from the UCD if it's available in BC.

But didn't Eggstor say that the Special Pick Silvia in the UCD is the first time one is LESS expensive than the car from Brand Central?

Ah yes, you're right. I don't know why anyone would pay the same money for something from the UCD as from BC. There is literally no advantage to that.
