I made sure i bought them all
They are there for 2 weeks so should be able to get the 500k or so by then lol
i just take the skyline, the others 2 i can stay without, i was more interested in the nissan
I’m more curious about the countdown. How exactly does this specialty dealer work?
It can’t be real time days because when I played the game just after release at midnight it said new vehicles available in 12 days. When I was playing it a couple of hours ago it had gone down to 11 days.
Pretty sure there hasn’t been 24 real hours gone since I started playing the game 20 hours or within the 18 hours it changed from 12 days to 11 days…
What’s the deal?
No, it would be 24 hours when you take into account its been live for about 12 hours before i got it due to New Zealand and Aussies

I believe the cars in the specialty dealer are also limited to a certain number of vehicles that are available to be purchased. When I purchased the 1995 Nissan Nismo GT-R LM I noticed a block up in the top right of my screen in my garage that stated “Production Run” and had a number in this case 492 and a date mine said 09/29/2017. Now if I am looking at this right it could mean one of two things. Either there are only 492 of these cars to be sold or I bought the 492nd car of this model from the specialty dealer in Forza Motorsport 7. Not sure which one it is. If there are only 492 cars to be sold of this model that would be great, as it would make cars rare again and you would have to pick and choose which cars you really want. Which makes grinding and saving fun.
From what I can tell, it means you got the 492nd car.
And when you’ve spent all that time grinding and saving for that particular car, only to find out all 492 of them have been bought by then? Not very fun then in my eyes. They’re already cars that I’ll likely never drive in real life, let alone own. I don’t want a game to mimic real life that closely.
Well have some good or bad news on this all depends how you look at it I guess
My Nissan is number 863
My Ford is number. 889
MY Mazda is number 1215
So im guessing here that cars will be sold to the end of the date and not untill sold out, so number of units for sale will be based on how many are sold till time runs out to buy one, I intend to buy all cars on offer from the Specialty Dealer.
I picked up all three. I thought when I bought them that it said they were available for 11 days. If they have a limited production run I doubt they could have them available for 12 or 11 days or however many days it is. It looks like some of the loot crates are available for a limited time to. Several of the crates have 24 days available on them. Other than that I have no idea why they have the production run listed on these cars.
According to Wikipedia
The 1995 Nissan NISMO GT-R LM.
Nissan produced just 188[30] of this model, 86 GT-R LM and 102 V-Spec LM. Nissan entered two R33 GT-R cars in the 1995 Le Mans 24 hour race where the number 22 car finished tenth overall.
Is that production run number in the upper right the number of people who bought the car in game?
I think the number at the top right is just the number of days the car will be available to purchase in the Specialty Vendor, nothing to do with production numbers or number of people buying the car. After those days are up, a new selection of cars will become available.

That number is the edition of your car.
There is an infinite supply, but you own Car #1215 of that sale run, Car #863 etc.
My MX-5 is #800 for example, and my Nissan is around #5500.
Does anyone know if the cars in the specialty dealer are only obtained through that or can I get them elsewhere?
The cars in the specialty dealer are normal cars and I thought I could purchase them through the buy car screen but seems that I can’t.

As far as we know, they are only available in the specialty dealer and you can only buy them from there once.
Why make a big deal of the availability of cars? There have been racing games, where you ONLY could get a car, for example, after a 24h Championship in real time. I like races. I like long races. But I don´t like 24h of racing! Then I prefer this dealer…
BTW: the auction house is coming. Then it´s only a question of the price tag.

I’ve noticed something about this dealer. You can only buy one of each car from the dealer, and mentions upon doing so that you have reached the limit of this type of car you can own.
This may mean that players can only have (or at least buy) ONE of each Exclusive Car. This could be Turn 10’s way to circumvent the problem with FH3, where some players would buy multiple copies of Forzathon or otherwise limited cars and then resell them for a massive profit on the Auction House.
The AH might be a possible exception because I don’t know (no one does at the moment) if you can buy, for example, a Showcase car before you’ve actually done that car’s Showcase Event. If you can, that would allow you to have duplicate Exclusive Cars. Winning one from a Prize Crate may also be an exception, but of the three I’ve bought, I haven’t won an Exclusive Car in any of them.
I think that with this option in th egame it gives you the chance to buy these cars instead of unlocking them by conventional means in the game. Like improving your tier score , entering events , where you might win them.And also from buying crates .
So far , looking at the car collectoin , tab , these are more exclusive cars You seem to have plenty of time to earn the money to buy them . The three in total are around 500 000 credits.
I myself bought the first 2 after about 2 hours of playing the game , then the follow day I bought the skyline. I have been playing for 3 more days and got my money back up to that figure . That includes buying cars along the way to take part in career races .
I had early access from last friday , and now it is monday . I think it is a good feature .
The specialty dealer is a great idea IMO and I like the fact that players cannot load up on one car at the dealer and then price gouge at the auction house later. The Mazda is a GREAT car btw.

I want to know if we have to wait like 3 months or so before we can purchase certain cars in the game from the specialty dealer.
For example a car you want to use in the game is not available to buy but only put in through the specialty dealer. Does that mean I have to wait until a certain date just to Buy that car.

Just buy the stuff already. It’s not exactly much you have to pay and it’s all locked stuff - you know, the stuff so many people moan about.
If you check Manteo’s list of locked cars (excluding DLC cars) and substract showcase and locked FE cars you get a bit under 100 ordinary locked cars, like the ones from the specialty dealer. If we get three cars offered every week and there’s a full rotation, you can expect to see the cars back in about 8 months, if they’re not featured in Forzathon aswell (unlikely that we won’t see them there).
Big IF there, I hope. In all honesty, I would NOT like to see cars reappear ever. What is the use of getting cool/exclusive/limited cars from the SPECIALTY DEALER if cars will be reproduced endlessly?
Bit like actually collecting cars in real life, paying $40 million for a certain Ferrari or whatever brand and a day later Ferrari announces it will reproduce those cars endlessly. I think a bucketload of collectos will see the value of their cars diminish overnight.
It’s highly unlikely they won’t show up in Forzathon, as did so many regular cars in FH3’s Forzathons. And there are still the Prize Crates. People will eventually buy them if there’s nothing else to buy or if they’re in the mood. They won’t become extremely rare but rare enough even if they show up again in a later rotation. And don’t forget the majority of players ain’t hardcore Forza Car Collectors, they sell the stuff they don’t like.
