None, ever, and I can't imagine anything more galling than spending real money on a car only to be awarded it in a Daily Workout the same day. Even worse than getting up to 20m, buying a 20m car and then having it turn up in Daily Workout...

I only bought the 787 and the three Kei cars.
Kei cars are obviously chump change. I never get the Group C cars anyway ever so I just have to buy them.
I hope I get the Hamilton wagen for free... and GT3 cars seem to get given to me willy nilly so I hope the GT comes.

I actually came close to getting the Merc F1 car in the daily thing until it gave me a Subaru Rally car.
This is why I hate the daily thing at times it is so cruel!!!

Buying cars with real money I think has been aimed at the super casual/lazy noob market. I'm glad there's a 2 million limit and the better, or more exclusively higher priced cars are off limits for credit card warriors.
Can't think of anything worse than pay to win games with real money. So well done PD for an extra revenue stream. And good on them for taking the money out of fools pockets when every day you get a free car anyway. And if you actually drive the game you can buy the highest priced cars anyway

Same as above for me. I don't intend on, ever.
We, the users, are the ones who have created the system that plagues us. If nobody utilised the microtransation framework then it simply would not exist as a thing. It only exists for as long as there are people willing to pay for it.
I'm not one to jump on the "I've paid £50 for an unfinished game" bandwagon, mainly because I would much rather be drip-fed the same volume of content slowly like this as it keeps my enthusiasm up for the game. However, to be sold a £50 game, with less content than the predecessors and then having to buy things with real money is a kick in the nads for me.
Yes, I know that you don't have to buy them in GT Sport, a decision that I hope isn't reversed in the future, but in other games you have no choice - but it is the fault of those who will actually pay to win.

I haven't bought any cars with cash since the update.
My current car is doing fine and I hope it lasts at least another 5 years. So I might buy a car with cash/or its equivalent in around 5 years or so.

I would buy the XJ13 and 330P4 if they were a reasonable price. The amount of hours I’ve put into trying to get them without going the full grind route is ludicrous. Until summertime hit I must have done the daily challenge almost unfailingly from when I got the game last November, other than about a dozen days when I literally wasn’t where my PS4 was.
Absolutely no way will I ever pay for in game transactions ever ever ever. It's just ridiculous that the option is added. It's complete laziness. I get you may not have time to grind away but I've never done grinding and own all the cars between 350k to 20mil.
I've hated micro transactions for a very long time and the biggest is DLC as soon as a game is out or GTA's shark cards!

Exactly this. I only want to use them in Scapes mode but I don't have the time to grind every day for the miniscule chance of getting one of them. I'd happily pay real money for one of the 20,000,000cr cars if it meant I didn't have to keep getting AMG A45s as rewards.
Last three days I got two MiTos and the ‘ultra rare’ Megane GR4. It’d be funny if the Miura wasn’t on the damn wheel today.

The average hourly minimum wage in the United States is $7.50 / hr.
At 2,000,000 Cr. for the Mercedes F1, that's what, at least 2 hours to grind the shortest grindfest event to get that car.
So there's very little utility in grinding for a user (enjoyment), and there's very little cost-effectiveness even if the user makes **** money.
I have zero issue with users deciding that the opportunity cost of grinding justifies spending a few bucks on a car they want.
Would you rather spend $3 on a car, around 20 minutes of labour, or 120 minutes of labour?

Im torn on this one. Generally i like to financially support things i like. Thats why i am a premium member of gtplanet. I dont see much of an advantage but i want to support Jordan and this fine website. I have contributed to leagues that run their own websites to help with the monthly cost of things and I'll spend more to support a local business to help the local economy out when possible.
I actually would like to support Kaz and PD on top of the game purchase if it means more and better content from them going forward. That being said I do have a general animus toward the pay to win economy of modern games so i dont like this particular utilization of microtransactions. I would prefer special liveries or such that have no impact on the game, just give something special for supporting the game producers. I dont know, interested to see how you all feel.

I wont buy anything other than cars priced at 20.000.000
But uuugh 787B is tempting lol
Dude. Not all people will reach this kind of thinking
I would spend a week labour and got $500 then cut $50 for cars I want or even another game. Great timesaver for us employed/freelance aka super casual or noobs.

None. Never. At this point, I will probably never drive the 250 gto or the Miura and I don't care. I simply don't have the time and the patience to grind for days. (Not lucky enough with the car roulette)
Tbh, I'm disappointed. I wanted to support Poly by buying every single dlc. I can understand that GTsport is cheap everywhere and that Poly needs money. Paid dlc is ok after 8 months of free updates, microtransactions never. From a marketing point of view it's almost a suicide IMO. I can't even believe someone greeenlighted this at Sony.
