Unrealistic Selling of Cars.

[zacharyfish2]

It annoys me so much that i buy a car for $50,000, put $200,000 and then later sell it but only getting $25,000 back instead of at least $100,000.
Does this annoy you guys and should it be addressed?

Depreciation hurts huh!

 

[CBH]

No.

 

[1241Penguin]

It'd be neat if cars depreciated realistically.

 

[jimipitbull]

You can sell cars?

I must be playing it the wrong way

 

[GregOr1971]

Got more than enough money and cars for my needs,so I don't see a problem with selling prices (I've sold maybe 5 duplicates out of 500+ garage ) , but I understand it can be bothersome,especially if you're low on credits .

My advice would be, be wise with car purchasing,so you don't regret it later when you lost a good amount of credits while selling it.

 

[JKgo]

.......At least now you can sell any car; back in GT5, you couldn't sell anything that cost more than half a mil when new and get credits back. What about selling cars that you won a stack of races in?? IRL cars like that do fetch much higher bids when put on sale/auction....

It'd be neat if cars depreciated realistically.

Perhaps some sort of community feature where the least used/bought cars sell for less, whilst the ones in high demand retain their value? Sort of like an online UCD/auction?

 

[Pseudopod]

I think it's ridiculous that you get almost nothing back for a practically unused car.

Shift and Shift2 Unleashed had a system with no depreciation, including all money spent on modifications. It was kind of fun to just buy and make things at free will, but it got stale quickly.

Why would you even bother selling your cars? Money grinding on this game is so easy, therefore there is zero point to it. If you don't use a car so much any more, there even is a stockyard feature...

 

[MidFieldMaven]

I sell cars all the time because I don't feel like grinding out a Red Bull championship sometimes. I try to sell cars that I probably won't want to buy again.

 

[sparkytooth]

Doesn't really matter to me.

 

[daan]

When you sell a modified car in real life, you pretty much never get back what you spend modifying it.

Doesn't really matter to me.

Ohhh, Viennaaaaa...

 

[Blitz24]

Well, you drove it off the lot to modify it. Be grateful that there is no permanent damage that will nullify ALL value of the car when it gets hit by a racing Daihatsu.

You don't get $25k back for a $50k car, you get $15k (30% of purchase regardless of further investment)--are you even more annoyed now? I really don't care about it. In fact, I've spent hundreds of millions simply buying cars for the paint they provide.

Totally agree with that, I've seen people throw tens of thousands at cars in the form of engine swaps/mods, paintwork and suspension but when they eventually go to market they are usually getting less back than the stock car was worth.

Modified cars - Expensive but utterly worthless

[Wide Boy]

Title made me laugh
Buy a new car & drive it out of the showroom & you just lost a huge chunk of money.
Take it & thrash it round a track, just lost more.
Modifying it can also devalue it, if done well you can add to the value but its got to be really good to get your money back as a rule.
You decided to sell it & sold it instantly, want to wait for a better price.
So not realistic but not far off & certainly far more realistic than the huge amounts of money you can earn from racing.

Said this before but use most cars in 4 or 5 suitable races & you have paid for it so whats the issue.

GT101: Never sell your rides.

Or at least not the ones where you can't get money for them at all.

 

[zacharyfish2]

What is a good money grind the game other than the red bull races?

 

[Nexus]

I don't sell cars anymore, but that's probably because I'm a hoarder

Even if it's easy, that doesn't mean it's fun.

 

[Tornado]

Depreciation makes a certain amount of sense for the handful of new cars, but it makes an awful lot less sense for the 90% of the cars in the game that are more than a few years old. What amuses me is how logically inconsistent it is. Historical race cars that the game treats as close as it can to being priceless by already wildly overinflating their prices, but when you go to sell them they are suddenly comparatively worthless. My Le Mans winning Ford GT40 lost 75‰ of it's market value because my ass touched the seat? I didn't fart or anything.




Though, really, the ingame economy is still so wildly unbalanced since GT5 that it's a minor issue.

Because some of us don't want to use the Stockyard "feature", it was a terrible idea.

 

[xiando]

No it doesn't bother me terribly. The entire economic structure in GT is a bit of an absurdity. it is, after all, a game.

Like the Wind is the first opinion that comes to mind. Or if you like endurance, try 24hr Nurburgring, gives 614,000 (with 200%) in 24-25 minutes.

Well, the A-spec Expert Level Racing Car Challenge: Silverstone GP Circuit - gives you 380 000 in 10/11 minutes or so...

 

[Mr Grumpy]

Don't know what you're talking about, I got atleast 200-300% back on the original price for my 200 mercs back in V1.00 wink wink nudge nudge say no more

S class Ascari normal car ten lap. $466,000 at 200% Use a modified Caterham Fireblade and you won't have to pit.
