being able to trade/sell cars online could be pretty sweet..

rather than having a arbitrary value decided by what kind of car with what kind of parts, just let the market decide... GT5 ebay style...

obviously you would be bidding with credits, not actual money. but it could be very cool..

people could tune cars and sell them for more than it cost them, all that tuning and track testing time should be worth something right..

once serious online racing starts happening, cars could have virtual historic value that collectors will be willing to pay for... how much is the car that won the first virtual GT5 le-mans worth?

racing for pink slips (not just drag)

they could even have some ultra rare cars... not just as in hard to earn, but only having a certain number in circulation at any one time. perhaps prize cars in big online championships.... these could also be worth something in a credit market..

the nice thing is the prices are driven by the players, not some sum like the GT4 valuations.
 
Like online only cars that you can only get by bidding for them.

That sounds quite good.

Lets hope the online system is used in GT
 
Great idea, instead of waiting for the right time and cash you could buy the black LMP cars on-line!!!

Well I like the idea, but only if it'd be a separate mode from Sim/Career mode. I don't feel like being forced to pay to get online just so I can play a game from a series which I've follow since it's birth.
 
PD at one point wanted some interaction between the HD and GT. I Hope that you can download the bought cars, that would be nice. how would you handle devices liek teh game shark? i hope that wont mess it up.

I doubt you'd be forced to dl cars, SchuberT.

Well I was just saying that I don't want to have to get online to buy cars that I need to win races. As long as you can play the game through without the need to go online, then I'm fine :)
