so what used cars are actually rare?

[watermelon punch]

according to mygranturismo are these standard cars rare..all of them are 10 on the scale of rarety (based on players with a mygrantursimo garage)

{snip}

none of them is rare to me because i have them all

To preface, mygranturismo.net is a wonderful web site. I don't have a garage there, but I use it for reference regularly - it's a fantastic web site that I recommend highly.

BUT its "rarity" ratings are hugely flawed if you're wondering how hard it is to find the cars in the UCD. The rarity rating, I believe, is decided by user members' garages, and what cars are the least purchased in their users garages. This means if a car is unpopular - ie: not many people bother purchasing it from the UCD, then it will just show as rare on mygranturismo.net.

Thus you have people like zepposi & I who have all the supposedly rare cars.

Myself I have multiples of most of the historic antique cars... which are probably not particularly popular with the bulk of gt5 players.

And how many Miatas/MX-5s do most players purchase? My SO has a ton of Miatas... but owns a real Miata, used to race it in Auto Cross, and loves the Miatas in the game... I doubt most people have as many different & multiples of the various Miatas in the game as my SO.

What I could say is I had trouble getting the old Honda N360 (named "normal" ironically)... And I've had trouble getting many Chapparels... BUT, mostly because sometimes I haven't had enough credits when I see them in the UCD, OR, if I did, they were high mileage ones that showed up in the UCD, so I opted to wait off. I'm rather picky about the mileage... unless the colour is a paint chip I'm really liking. ha.

2000 Mustang Cobra R is pretty rare. I'd be looking for one of those honestly.

I'd really have to disagree with that. I own about 12

Also any prize car can't be considered rare, and some cars people have listed are prize cars.

I think the only "rare cars" are the original DLC like the chromelines, stealths, the Fantasy Nascar, and maybe some cars like the Academy Special or 370Z Academy although one was just re-released and the other is obtainable through ticket, so I don't think they are really rare. Also the Camaro SS Edge Special I consider somewhat rare aswell.

I have to say all the standard Infinitis. Especially the FX45.

I see the FX45 quite a lot actually.

Try gt5cars.net. There you can search the UCD to find out when the car you're looking for will show up. Also, the cars at rated 1 (common) to 5 (rare) by how often they appear. It's a great resource.

One of the race Civics, forgot what it's called. And the VW Nardo? Bought it first time I saw it. Lucky I had a lot of credits then.

This?...

Suzuki Escudo!!! I found out that this beast exist in GT5 from a photo uploaded from a fan in GT5 official Facebook fan page!!!

 

[gt5fanatec]

Lister Storm to me. And the Escudo.

For me, the AE86 Trueno GT-Apex and the AE86 Levin GT-Apex were pretty rare. It took nearly 9 months for me to finally have a AE86 Trueno (the GT-Apex, non-special edition) appear. 8 months for the AE86 Levin.

That's funny, because the Trueno was the very first car I purchased and raced in this game.

My "holy crap I can't find it..." car would be the Nissan R390 Road Car. I'm also having a difficult time coming across and '02 Ford GT. Not sure what else I'm missing, but I have about a thousand cars with only a few duplicates.

I cant find toyota levin aka twin cam, ae86 with square lights on front, anyone have couple of them??

 

[starcarper]

I have to say all the standard Infinitis. Especially the FX45.

That's funny you mention that, as it was the last car I needed to complete my collection.

Really there is only 1 rare care, X2010 prototype. Seeing as its very hard to win and no other way to get it. Forgetting DLC stealths and chromelines all other cars are readily available to those that want them enough. = Tickets/trading and completing races.

 

[RX-7_FD3S]

whut X2010 prototype ? Wasnt that the one we got for free when Vettel was champion in Suzuka ?

For me it's the R390 road car, been waiting for age for it to pop on dealership.

 

[acascianelli]

What about the Wedssport Celica? I've been playing since release and just found this car for the first time the other day. Haven't had a chance to drive it yet.

[I Love GT6]

Nothing is rare for me.

The free one was the S.Vettell version. The prototype is the 'naked' carbon one.

No thats the vettel redbull coloured one you got and also win for bronzing the vettel challenge, But the X2010 is the prize for golding all 3 races in the vettel challenge.

Not rare for me though, and anyone else who has put the time in to complete the challenge.

Cars that a rare for one person may not be rare at all for another. There have been cars that have only appeared in my UCD only once or twice, or maybe not at all but may appear more frequently for someone else.

I'm not sure if the UCD updates are completely random or if a certain car will appear on a certain day. I had been looking for ever for the Zonda C12S 7.3 and when it finally appeared in my UCD I bought it and have not seen it again and I check every day.

Right now I have pretty much everything that I've been looking for.

I have yet to see either of the Chaparral race cars. I've been looking for the 2J desperately, even spending many minutes skipping through license tests to advance the used car market, but I've never come across it.
