Joke complaint :D

This car costs about 180,000 on GT6. Right?
But look at this:

How is a car 7,000 in the realworld and 180,000 on GT6?

 

[Streeto]

Most likely because it was brand new when that model was actually made, and they never bothered to change pricing.

But then again, GT economy is obviously not the same as real life... you can make 180k in a matter of minutes.

If they changed the pricing every year regarding depreciation then it would be a lot of work that isn't really needed.

Plus it would probably end up being too easy to acquire a lot of cars so...

 

[SVX]

GT6 is set in a world without a form of time - cars therefore are their brand new price/actual value.

And to add to the above, it's not the same units so it's not really comparable. The 7 000 figure is in GBP while the 180 000 figure is in Cr. You need a conversion rate to see how those pricetags compare.

It's pretty clear that it's about a 1:1 conversion or close enough, given that most of the new car prices line up close enough to that to not make a difference. The others above had it right, GT pricing is based on the cars brand new showroom price, and the real classics are given higher values based on some estimated market value.

To GBP? I don't think so.

In my case, real life $CDN to game credits, with the exceptions I noted above. I can't speak for other regions. A real life car that's 20K is about the same in game. And so on amd so on etc. No its not exact, but its also not 2/1 or 3/1 either. Close enough to not matter.

Compared to the British pound it's off by about 50%. 3 Credits is roughly equal to 2 Pounds.

£GBP is quite a way off credits. There are still many oddly priced exceptions to the rule though.

A modern car, say the Nissan GT-R Black Edition '12 will be priced close to what you would buy one, but a 15 year old car will be much more, and a 30, 45, 60 etc. will go up. For example:

Nissan GT-R Black Edition '12
In Game: Cr. 94,710
Real Life: $111,510

Chevrolet Corvette Z06 (C5) '00
In Game: Cr. 54,570
Real Life: $15,000 (Estimated)

Toyota Supra 3.0 GT Turbo A '88
In Game: Cr. 40,510
Real Life: $14,000 (Estimated)

Mercedes Benz 300SL Gullwing '54
In Game: Cr. 237,690
Real Life: $1,750,000

As mentioned earlier, cars are priced relative to their original sticker price, with the exception of certain classics. Likely the 300 Gullwing was priced in the game years ago and never updated.

Because for the past couple of games the game economy has been pretty terrible in general.

 

[Famine]

In GT6 it's a brand new car. The CL600 cost £110,000 when new.

 

[AngryEater]

Nothing in GT6 comes with 162,343 miles, stained carpet and an inoperable third gear.

...Generally speaking, Japanese cars are cheaper than their counterparts. Of course, NOT all the time, I know that a Lexus LF-A is ludicrously overpriced for what it is - a Ferrari 458 competitor. But that GT-R Black is a good case in point - it's one of THE fasteset sub-600pp cars in the game, and among with Tommy Kaira ZZ II, both are serious bargain. Ditto for Mazda RX7, MX5, Supra, etc, etc...

Unbalanced economy in GT? Really?

Where cars come from could be a factor. One second while I check this.

Nissan GT-R Black Edition '12
Cr. 94,710
$ 111,510

Chevrolet Corvette Stingray '14
Cr. 51,000
$ 55,000

BMW M4 Coupe '14
Cr. 120,000
$ 64,200

Based on this Japanese cars are generally cheaper, American cars are generally accurate and Euro are more expensive.

Wasn't too hard, just took the price from the base model of each car (Took base Black Edition price for the GT-R) and cross referenced them with the prices on GT6's dealership.

You used the $ symbol. Which $ are you referring to?

 

[Bo]

Think it's USD.

Yes, all cars where based around their prices in the US, as it's hard to find prices for a Corvette in the UK, as they aren't sold here AFAIK.

If you pop along to a Chevy dealership, they can import one for you.

Still, $ also seemed it would be closer to Cr. than £.

 

[AngryEater]

I think in general all dollar references are by default American; Canadian only if specifically noted. Worlds most dominant currency named dollar and all.

Usually that's the case, but he's not an American, so I thought it best not to assume.

 

[BMWcrazy]

The CL 600 in GT6 doesn't break down. It also doesn't cost a fortune to fix or maintain.

You get what you paid for.

You can't say any of that when you've looked at ONE example of each.

Have you considered that in the US market, the relative prices of cars are different to the EU market and to the Japanese market? They might all be accurately priced in different currencies in their domestic market, for example... I doubt it (the M4 is £57k in the UK [or about €79k] and €78k in Europe, depending on local taxation, for reference), but you have such a tiny data set that you can't even begin to say what's "generally" true.


Meanwhile, the C7 Corvette absolutely was sold in the UK and EU until December 2014 - I drove a UK market Stingray in May 2014...

Wait, sorry for my confusion, but the Stingray is no longer sold in the UK?

We (australia) have dollars too. Also just for the record all the Australian cars are accurately priced with the exclusion of the V8 Supercar which is a bit expensive.

You've obviously seen that episode

Oh and Australia MIGHT be getting the Stingray for what it is worth. Although id rather have the Viper

 

[Famine]

Nor Europe. Chevrolet announced a general withdrawal from the market in December 2013, to take effect by December 2015.

We still have Chevrolet dealerships until then - if you desperately want a Trax, Aveo, Spark, Cruze or Orlando - and I think that Chevrolet will continue to sell Corvette and Camaro in Russia, so it might be still possible to order those.
