Gran Turismo games have always been about the thrill of racing, acquiring cars, and tuning them to perfection. For long-time fans, the journey often involves starting with modest vehicles and gradually upgrading to faster, more powerful machines. This progression naturally raises a question, especially for those familiar with older GT titles or other racing games: Can You Sell Car Parts In Gt7?
In classic titles like GT1, the core gameplay loop revolved around earning credits through races to buy better cars. Players would often sell their initial cars to finance the purchase of something faster, a form of in-game “gambling” as described by some players – selling your current ride in hopes of affording a superior one. The idea of maximizing your return on investment, especially from upgrades, is a natural extension of this.
However, when it comes to Gran Turismo 7, the mechanics are a bit different from what some veterans might expect, or perhaps hope for based on experiences with games like Tokyo Xtreme Racer Zero. In Tokyo Xtreme Racer Zero, a game praised for its car modification system, the value of your car for resale would increase based on mileage and the extent of modifications you had installed. This made logical sense; a car with performance enhancements should command a higher price on the used market.
Unfortunately, Gran Turismo 7 does not allow you to sell car parts individually. When you decide to part ways with a vehicle in GT7, you are selling the car as a whole. The game doesn’t currently factor in the value of the upgrades you’ve painstakingly installed when determining the selling price. This can be a point of frustration for players who invest heavily in tuning their cars with turbos, tires, and other performance parts, expecting to recoup some of that investment when they decide to move on to a new model.
This contrasts sharply with the desire expressed by many players for a system where modified cars fetch a higher price. The logic is straightforward: if you’ve poured credits into upgrading your Nissan R390 GT1 Race Car with top-tier turbo kits and racing tires, shouldn’t its resale value reflect those enhancements? Ideally, players would like to see a selling system that acknowledges the investment in modifications, perhaps by offering a percentage of the total upgrade cost back upon sale – whether it’s 33%, 25%, or another fair value.
For players starting their GT7 journey with less competitive cars, every credit counts. The inability to sell upgraded parts and recoup their value can feel like a setback, especially when the initial grind to build finances is already challenging. While Gran Turismo 7 offers various ways to earn credits, a more nuanced car selling system that considers modifications would certainly be a welcome improvement for many in the GT community. It would add another layer of strategic depth to car customization and garage management within the game.
