Gran Turismo 5: Cars - Purchase, Trade and Share

[RunN1st]

Hi, Gents.

I figured I'd start a thread to exchange info. on car purchases, trades and sharing.

I currently have 2 shared cars I've used to pass some A-Spec challenges. I wouldn't mind borrowing cars from others to progress without buying cars I don't care for.

I almost purchased an older car with very low miles simply because it was a 1970 with only 112 miles! Anyone else buying cars to have as collectible and not necessarily race?

Big Find - Every car listed, or just about.

I bought a '73 BMW 2002 just because I love BMWs(German cars in particular). I HATE it's a standard car. First car, before the arrival of the E30, that really hit the US racing market. Also upset the E30 M3 didn't make it into the game. I bought a the '05 GTI just because it's my real life car(mine's an '06).

How do you borrow cars? Give to friend, then they give it back? I don't trust anyone with a 500k investment..haha.

I just found the most amazing tune for the Corvette ZR1 RM. Demolished the competition in the Like the Wind segment.

Select the car from your garage and hit triangle to share it with friends. As long as folks are on your friends list they can drive your shared cars. Do not gift! Unless you want to lose it.

With "sharing" you can let others borrow your cars, without actually giving them your cars. This prevents people from not giving you your cars back.

Correction 12/8 - you cannot drive someone elses car by sharing it out. They can only view it via your Profile shares. Works like photos.

In that case, anyone mind sharing their trucks they used to win B-Spec truck challenge? A fully loaded Dodge from the license test doesn't cut it.

Also, if someone finds a Matte Pink, I'll trade you my Ferrari 430 Scuderia for it

Well, I can't really trust randoms especially from a forum I don't use. He'll probably want my car first and I'll want his paint first and it'll keep going back and forth.

How do you actually drive a car that one of your friends has shared?

I'm going to guess that "Online" tab in your garage. There's Premium, Standard, Favorites, and Online.

I guess no one out of the like 30 people on my friends list that have this game have a car shared lol.

Does it have to be 63 HP? I have tons of Mazda's. I know I have the Miata and the Furai (Jesus... almost 500 HP stock weighing at like 600 kg... Can't wait to drive it.)
