I bought more than 20+ cars from the auction house in the last 24 hours and can not buy cars anymore.
Is there a purchase limit per day?
I have already tried to buy other models, but I get the same answer “Purchase failed, please try again later” …
Yes there is. Im not sure how many cars that limit is but i know that there is limit. I cant understand why there is limits how many cars you can buy and sell per day.
To keep higher-ups from making mega millions by buying casual’s unwanted unicorns and selling them for extreme profit.
If there were no limit, it would be even more difficult to make your way up in the tuning and painting stream.
Yeah that system works so well, now instead of getting max credits in one it’s take two days, really great system. Actually i wouldnt even suprise if those limits how many cars you can buy and sell would be because servers.

Like I said on other topics pertaining to other matter, the limits and regulations are there for a reason. No one is going to get their way, exactly the way they want it. Don’t think it’s fair? Life isn’t fair. Sucks, right? Life sucks, lol.
I’d love to just log in, press one button and buy a car for free. I’d also love to wake up in the morning and not have to drive to work, or work at all in that matter. Pay my bills with the snap of a finger. None of that’s not gonna happen, and the limits will stay in the Auction House.
Remember, Horizon is still part of the Forza franchise. It’s not marketed as its own, completely separate game. Forza’s gameplay basis revolves around racing, a.k.a. the grind. You have to race to get credits to be able to buy cars and pay for upgrades to turn it into the car you want it to be. Want a lot of expensive cars with monstrous performance specs? You’re gonna need a lot of credits. That means racing to win. Finish in a higher position and against more difficult AI settings with certain or all assists off for more credits. All those settings are too difficult for you? I’ll repeat the old phrase again: “practice makes perfect.”
Race more and you’ll learn how to adapt and control different cars quicker. You’ll learn how to apex like a well seasoned player. You’ll learn how to tune cars yourself to better fit your style and not have to sit and search, tune after tune, to find one that exactly fits your style instead of just… tuning the car yourself. Tunes make a huge difference, I can say that first hand. There are tons of tutorials, both in document and video form, showing how to tune. When you have your favorite car with a tune that precisely fits your racing style and a livery that you chose… you’re golden.
You can’t deal with all that? Either don’t complain about not being able to have everything at game start… or don’t play at all. I won’t say that the games don’t have their flaws. I can point out even more nitpicky flaws than the shifting system and buyout limits. My problem is that I either don’t care enough or aren’t bothered by them enough to actually post a complaint about them. I’ve adapted to the issues over so long that I just became used to them. Now, they don’t bother me near as much as they used to. I know they’re still there, and I can see them when they arise. But I just don’t care anymore, lol. Simple as that.
I think the buyout limit is best left alone. Better off keeping it in place than removing or lightening it and then having it abused.
Do you really try to teach me how to play forza games? Well lets start to fact abaout fh4 you get wrong, in this game it dont matter mutch do you win or not, even in last place game gives almost as mutch credits than it’s give when you win a race and fh3 and fh4 motorway blueprints have made that super easy.
And it’s funny that you try to teach forza game someone who is play racing games almost 30 years, forza games since fm1. So i know really well how grindy forza games can be, for example in fh3 i have get top spot on xp leaderboard, even more funny that you have see me there because i was part of pwn in fh3 and pretty mutch every rivals leaderboard i was top5 in our club, so i know how to drive, thank you for teaching that. I think i have download maybe 6-7 tunes in fh4 so far, few drift tunes (because i know there is people who have make better tunes in formula drift cars than i have made) few of my friends tunes to test what they have made and few top tunes to test out how my own tunes perfomance against some top tuners tunes. Other than that i tune my own all cars and that is only reason why i still even play this game because that is somethink that i like to do and i like how i still learn new things so i yes know basics of tuning thank you for teaching that.
And it seems that we have big diffrence in one thing you dont care when game how flaws or have some badly made things and i care abaout those things enough to post them. Because i dont want to see games making same mistakes over and over again, i want that game develops even better (and that fh4 fails in many points comparing fh3).
Do you think that people dont abused current auction house system allready? And when you have system where you can sell same car either 28k or 20m that made allready that many peoples want to abuse system to get their hands on those 20m cr prizes. What you think is reason why start of the game good painters was here yelling who bad recommended page is when all those who want to get legendary status as quicly as possible was spamming color swaps so good designs didint get any recognize. Or how there are peoples who made bunch of smurf account to download/like their own designs so they can legendary status even when they have zero painting skills. Or how there peoples who abuse to system to get seasonal rewards cars early so they can upload tunes and paints for those early to get top spots to get more downloads when other peoples get those cars, for example, seach design for upcoming spring seasonal reward car hoonigan rs200 there is allready lots of designs for that because peoples abuse the system.
Idea behind this system to reward tuners and painters for spending time to share designs and tunes for community is great. But current system makes 99% peoples feels bad that they cant sell their duplicate crown victoria more than 28k. And those who can sell those at 20m you dont get rewarded by having good painter or tuner you get rewarded by having unicorn car and that game denied all other people ability to sale those unicorn cars in bigger prizes. And if you spent some time in auction house you can see that same guys sale rare cars all the time even tho game have even credits cap to prevent to get too mutch credits but it’s not matter because those guys use their legend status to get millions of credits so they can sold those in ebay and get real money. Other game companies like EA try to prevent this in forza PG/turn 10 make this just mutch easier to guys how have get legend status. I like that game have auction house so can get rare cars in that way but pretty mutch everything else current auction house system is made just badly. And im not thinking that way because i would be salty to not be able to sale cars in big credits because i can, im thinking this way because i think current system is just worst auction house that i have see in any game.

I posted that info not only for you, but for everyone else. Namely those who legitimately don’t want anything to change. To prevent my own hypocrisy in saying that, I actually do want some, as a matter of fact most of this stuff to change for the better. I make my posts and type up these long paragraphs to prove a point. Not to teach you, not to disagree with you, but to put it out there hoping that maybe a few others can see from my viewpoint.
If you’ve been around Forza since FM1, I bet you’ve played (almost) every game in the franchise like myself, yes? (For me, the sole game excluded from my experience is FM1). Okay, remember back when FM4 came out… how much different the online gameplay experience is compared to FH3 and FH4? And I dare to even include FM6 and FM7 in that list. The reason all of these things are so to say hitting the fan is because of the playerbase present in the newer games. More and more casual players have been playing both Horizon and Motorsport since FH2 came out. Casual players don’t want to be forced to grind for exclusive content. I could even go as far to say they’d rather pay to win even in Horizon, much like what’s happened to a lot… and that’s A LOT of other games outside of the racing genre. I won’t mention any names and just assume you know which ones I’m talking about.
If I recall correctly, FM7 suffered (yes, suffered) this for a short time after launch. What happened then is the one thing that tripped me over the line. It was the last straw, lol. From then on, I figured this series is headed down the same path as many other games either have, are still on, or are headed for. I’d sure like to see the problems be fixed, or even addressed at the least. But since I haven’t seen a whole lot of either in the past few Forza games I basically just lost hope. I don’t try to intentionally sound condescending or as if I’m trying to teach you. I’m just as frustrated as you are about all these issues. Maybe you just have more drive than I do, at least enough to complain about them occasionally.
But with all that being said, I still stand by the points I’ve made. But only because of the reasons I’ve stood by for years now.
Yes i have play every single forza game so far (even apex and f&f) and for me forza games was long time purely single player games, i think fm4 was first where i did any online gaming, and even in fh3 that i have play most in recent years i spent most of my time in rivals mode (but also play more online than previous games) fm7 i give up after few weeks because that game was so dissapointing. But i still can say that fh4 is easily worst online experience that i have in forza games. And actually without this forum i would probobly give up fh4 also and would have zero intrest to buy next forza title and still if i lose all motivation to spend time in fh4 i cant see myself buying another forza because the way how past few games how gone.
Via auction house. So somebody can first spend like 40€ to get one car and then somebody sniped it so spent money for nothing. I found also that there is guys selling new gamertags with those PO skyline, m-b and focus.

Like SprungBoss said, using the Auction House. It’s really slimy because in the few auctions I’ve looked at, they explicitly state “all sales are final”, meaning once you pay them, they technically don’t have to guarantee you’ll get the car. I don’t know if eBay (or really any other similarly-styled auction site) has rules that cover guarantees between individual sellers. I kind of feel like that it isn’t allowed, but I could be wrong. If that’s the case, it’s the lowest of low. Sad to see some people actually fall for that.
Ah, might I also note I haven’t played F&F nor FM6 APEX. I figured F&F was just a PR stunt. Successful or not, I’m not too big into the F&F franchise. And I don’t have a good enough PC to run anything bigger than Halo CE and at the most Halo 2, lol.
I sometimes wonder how many people lurk on the AH for hours, sniping those rare cars. I’ve been checking occasionally to get an 812 and ZR2 and have yet to see any on the AH. I’ll be glad to see when the next Forzathon hits in which they appear. However I have managed to stockpile some R34s and a few Chollas, and I know I’m not the only one that does that. But at least we’re seeing some progress with maintaining the rarity of some cars. Reading about the Citroen and Hornet being championship-exclusive is nice even if I might be offline when the next ones come out.
I can’t believe they sell them on ebay lmao. I really hope it hits the forzathon shop now just to spite the idiots that bought them.
He even charges for shipping…

See? That’s them making those mega millions.
I don’t see how the seller can deliver the car, since there’s no gifting in FH4.
i just bought 40 plus nsx and i cant buy any more either
i wuz geting thoze 5000 car collector points and wheel spin and i have 300,000 to get to per nsx
I think they are just Influence Points. You are better off doing the Goliath in the Alfa Romeo Giulia FE. You get 35000 points per lap.
after a few hour from posting the above post above this one i can buy again
