I guess we can better see the price adjustments before they take effect.

These are the current cars I’ve requested.

I particularly want a Charlotte Green NSX, as that was my favourite colored NSX in first GT. The Integras are sheep enough and the days to wait are just fine. If the cars I want show up in the UCD in the colors I want before my notifications, I can just cancel the request.

I had the F40, F50 and GTO ‘84 lined up with 6-8 day wait times, but at 27 million total, I might as well wait for the cars to resurface in the LCD.

It’s a good optional feature for all players.
 
On this topic, I analyzed the upfront fee additions in standard and mint modes for certain engine swap donor cars (in this case, the formula is (new engine - 100,000) * 2): (EDIT: Data as of posting date - expect fees and days to fluctuate over time just like UCD selling prices)

Analysis:
  • In standard mode, cars take around 3-8 days for delivery, 5 average, with fees at 1.94%-30.24% depending on price
  • In mint mode, cars take around 6-13 days for delivery, 10 average, with fees at 6.06%-47.31% depending on price
  • In standard mode, extra fees are 14.99% on average; in mint mode, extra fees are 22.29% on average
  • Extra fee difference between the two modes are at 7.30% on average
  • Base price does not affect extra fees; only delivery days seem to matter for it (at least in standard mode).

I just need these 4 and the Subaru Impreza 22B 98. Been collecting low mileage cars since I got all the cars just to have something to do.

At least we get a time of arrival. I’ll be picking them up later at night though.

That would be 12:37 am in NYC. I requested the cars around 8am Australia/5pm NYC time. So, I’m not sure if arrivals work from EDT. When I request the next lot, I’ll make sure to record exact times.
 
I wonder if PD could update the website for players to view and request from the Car Concierge. We can view all the cars. Might as well allow us the option.
 
Why choose mint vs standard? Mileage means nothing in this game. The car is flawless regardless of mileage.

Depends who are collecting. PD have been sly with their mileage in the LCD.

Some cars have the mileage in the year the car was made. Some have historical mileage(in kilometers) in their meaning: kilometres when the founder of a manufacturer were born or when a manufacturer reached a milestone, etc. The current Supra and Skyline in the UCD have “30”km, referencing Gran Turismo’s 30th anniversary.

Mileage means something to those players that want a car with the least amount.

Something to do when you have all the cars. Garage isn't big enough to collect all the colors, but collecting low mileage cars doesn't have that limitation.
 
It's not like these are real cars. Their value will not increase with age and low miles. They don't drive any differently if they have 10 miles or 100k miles. They don't have any lower value if you sell them if they have more mileage. I can understand wanting a car in a certain color, especially if it has a specific livery that gets lost if you try to change the color of the car in the livery editor, but mileage? If there was something that actually changed with the mechanics of the car (poor handling, poor engine performance, damage that requires expensive replacement parts (body replacement), etc.) based off the mileage then I may understand why finding a low mileage version is something someone would want. But because PD doesnt change the look or the performance of the car based on the mileage, it has no relevance to anything about the car other than the odometer reading.
 
I like the number to more accurately represent how much I've driven it. Easier to see that when it starts at 40 miles rather than 147,275
