Buying Cars Forza Horizon 3 Guide

This chapter describes the ways to buy new cars in Forza Horizon 3.

• Autoshow
• Auctions
• Forgotten cars
• Midnight events

Autoshow

To enter the autoshow, select the icon of cars in the festival, in the auction house. If you can't see the icon, exit the festival and select Cars from the menu, then click a similar icon.

The autoshow lets you browse and buy cars. You cannot, however, buy all of the cars here.

The cars can be bought for credits - the in-game currency. The stores offer the cars at constant prices, so you should keep them in mind while buying at an auction. The only way to unlock some unique cars is to find them, win them, or buy them at an auction. There are over 300 cars in the game and the price range is huge - the cheapest vehicles start at a couple thousand credits, while the unique ones may reach 10 million.

Auctions

You can bid on any car you can afford.

The game includes a social auction system - the cars are sold by players. It is a way to buy cars for much less money than in the autoshow. It is also the only chance to sell your car, but note that you might not get as much as you expect for it.

To enter the auction, select a car from the list in the festival auction panel. There is no 100% effective way of winning an auction, you just have to offer a better price. Alternatively, you can buy the car on the spot for the owner's price.

When you bid, the money gets transferred to a temporary auction account. Don't worry, you will receive the money back if you lose. Each bid near the end of the auction resets its timer to one minute.

You can see all of the car's stats in details, but you cannot see specific upgrades.

You can buy tuned cars as well. Keep in mind that they might be overpriced, but sometimes they're worth the risk - perhaps the previous user has already installed expensive parts that you would need to install.

The information about the transaction will show up in your auction notifications.

The transactions are usually similar to each other. First, find out at what price your car is usually sold. Then, choose the prices and time. Remember that you need to enter the auction panel and collect the credits after you sell something.

Forgotten cars

You find abandoned cars in critical condition and they require time to be restored.

With you progress into the game, you will be receiving access to hidden legendary cars. Occasionally, you will hear a radio message about a gossip telling you where to find such cars. Take look at the map, then. Such cars are hidden in stables, garages and various spots across the game. The area where you are to search for the care is marked with a violet circle. Within the circle, you have to find a gate and drive up to it, as close as possible. If this is the building you are looking for, this will start a cutscene and the car will be taken for restoration. You will receive it soon afterwards, but if you want it to be faster, you will have to pay for instantaneous repair.

Locations of all the vehicles have been shown on the map in the Map of Collectibles section. Below, I present the list of all the cars:

Midnight events

The events take place at night/in the evening and these are head-to-head races.

There is yet another way to obtain unique cars. You can win races 1-on-1 in Midnight events. These are special races that you unlock after you win 4-5 Street races. You unlock Street races with your progress into the game and by winning 1-on-1 matches with random drivatars. Each time you win, you will notice message at the bottom of the screen, which tells you how many opponents you still have to defeat before you unlock more races. The situation is similar in the case of street races. After you defeat each opponent, you are rewarded with his car - but the order is always the same. These car cannot be bought in dealerships. The list of cars is below:
