Used Car Dealership (Different from the other UCD suggestions out there)

[Camaro69427]

I know there is already a Suggestion for a UCD, but my version of it is different. So, please, just hear me out.
Most of my cars don't get high enough KM to even need a new oil change or engine rebuild. My suggestion is to take all of the cars in the current Car Dealership (except special editions like the SEMA, Chromeline, etc) and put them in a used car dealership with varying KM amounts and cheaper prices. Then when you would enter the UCD, it would give you 20 car choices. If none of them interest you, you would be able to hit a refresh button and it would give you 20 more cars to look at. You would only be able to this 20 times before you race again. Then you would get 20 more refresh buttons. I, myself, would rather get my classic cars with a little mileage on them, not a brand new car.
It's a little different from the other UCD suggestion, but aims for the same thing.

Yea, I can kinda see where you're going with this.

It's not very realistic to buy any car that's over a couple of years old as "new". Some are over 40 years old and have not turned a wheel!

A UCD that had reduced price cars (much like GT5) wouldn't be a bad idea. Perhaps with the selection changing only once a day though.

It would make more sense and would seem more of an achievement when you buy that car you've been after for a while. Repair it as required give it a respray and then take it out.
If it had been implemented from the start it would have slowed the rate at which you could collect all the cars (you want) therefore increasing the longevity of the game.

Saying that, it is nice to be able to go and get any car to compete with friends online. But if that option wasn't available I suppose I could have worked around it.

Exactly! This is 2014, not 1964/65/66/67/68/69/70/71/etc.

Eh... I like to think that the dealerships just park the old and new cars together, clean them all, and wind every car's odometer back to zero. O.o

Old cars are still cheaper than new cars as far as I know, so it's not like we're paying significantly more.

Still, cheaper cars help beginners and people who don't have enough to shell out 70,000 credits for a 1970 Challenger. They could get a Challenger with some miles on it that requires some time in GT Auto for a cheaper price (50,000 credits?).

I think GT4 was the one that got it better.

New car dealerships have many models that you can buy, and it also has a Classic area, where some cars are buyable while others are just for show, and you need to win them in a race. Just change it so these are all buyable, but expensive, and you can earn them in an event, but only once, like in GT3 (it should be an alternative, not just to earn extra money by selling them). It also had the tuning shop, which wasn't really nice, having to go there to tune your car, but some had full models (i.e. NISMO), so having that replaced by a tuning division of that manufactorer would be nice.
It also had one-make races in the dealerships, which I think was cool.

And the used car dealerships were split between <90's, early 90's and late 90's/very early 00's. Having that, with more focus on production cars (if you just want a cheap used car), aswell as having manufactorer-specific UCDs on the specific dealerships (if you want a specific model), like in GT1/2, and add icons on the manufactorers to indicate if and which "sub-dealerships"/one-make races they have (like how tracks have icons to indicate time/wheather change), would be really cool.

I should make a flash file to show that idea... do you think I should?

Sure.
