If you send a car, do you get the cost of the car back?

[Jahgee]

I have an idea, but it would only work if you get the money back from sending a car. Does sending cars give you the money back?

 

[Kwicko]

No.

That would defeat the purpose of "gifting" the car. When you go to a store to purchase a gift for a family member, and you give it to them, do you get your money back? NO.

 

[Jahgee]

Well I heard from somebody that this happens, but I wasn't sure, thanks for the replies.

WHAT! They don't do that anymore?

There goes my idea to give away exotic Supercars and Strippers as Christmas gifts.

You could "Dupe" it using a Flash drive, I do it all the time!

Just an idea I have:
I think the "Shared with friends" garage should be a "cars for sale" garage where we can sell cars to friends over the 1 million cr limit, under 1 millon are still giftable.

Save game to USB.
Send car.
Download 'save' from USB.
Bingo! You got your bucks back.

I'm well aware that this is pedantic, but you're only getting your car back this way.

How about:

1. back up save game before buying the car
2. restart game, buy & send
3. restore backup
4. get friend to send car back using same method
5. you both have the car and you still have your bucks

Mind you, since the cash you get from seasonals is still high and you can only trade under the 1 million cr ceiling, it's questionable whether it's worth all the faff.

No, you get the car AND the cr. back.

Uh, nope. I'll try to make it clear.
Let's pretend you have 100,000 cr and you want to get a Skyline from the UCD. It costs around 40,000, so you have 60,000 cr after buying it. Now you copy the save to the thumb drive, and send the car. And now you go to copy the save from the thumb drive to your PS3, and go to the game. You'll notice that you have the 60,000 and your Skyline.

This is how it's really done. You must save the save (no pun intended) to the thumb drive BEFORE buying the car, not AFTER.

^This. And it only works for cars well under 1,000,000cr.
