What's the contradiction? Prevent people from trading expensive cars, to keep them from duplicating and trading very expensive cars... but then allow them to actually buy those expensive cars for a little less... but at prices that still force them to play a couple of races each to afford those cars.

And there is absolutely no prestige and exclusivity in owning a bucketload of zero mile cars... only hundreds of thousands of miles done grinding or weeks of duplicating 1000 tickets.
I explained how I thought it seemed contradictory. Perhaps so people have a frame of reference. I play the game legitimately, I don't dupe, I don't "auto-grind". I'm a "legit" player. I also could care less about 0/0/0 cars or whatever they are, and I DO like collecting all the cars (I have about 700 unique cars)
That said, this game has "levels" for example, attaining level 40 on B-spec, attaining level 40 on A spec, and collecting every car in the game. I'm a real person, I have a real job, and a real family... and I go outside.
My POINT was that I spent my time buying up cars in the UCD when I saw them, rare or not. The dupers simply bought up those really expensive cars, duped them, and flooded the market. So I can trade a very cheap, but VERY rare car (like the EVO IV Rally Car) for a Chap 2J, or a classic Jag. Since that makes my game more effective (by not having to shell out $20 mil 6 or so times to get those cars). Then they capped the trading, so that means you have to earn the money to buy those cars.
But then they take a bunch of the expensive cars and list them at half price? I'm not complaining... I bought like 6 of them to round out my collection, I'm just saying that it seems contradictory. Cars WERE easy to get through trading, then they said nah... its too easy and people are getting ripped off (that ebay nonsense was unfortunate), now cars are hard to get. Then they patch and list them at half price and make a LOT of rare cars in the OCD. Now they're easy...
Contradictory.
