forza2 car swap-shop?

[y2blade]

where you can be cheeky and ask for a car or offer to give one away


the auction house is a joke imho the prices people ask!!!

i'd rather give a car to someone from here that realy wants it than waste time trying to sell it on the auction


just an idea
anyone takers?

Sounds like a good idea.

By the way, I'll accept any cars anyone doesn't want!

[Stig]

...what, like an Enzo perhaps :heh:

[TimDarracott]

A couple of my friends have lost cars when gifting them..

[Mekon]

If you want a bargain from the auction, get online went lots of people aren't around. I went on at 6am this morning and got a Lingenfelter Corvette that has every mod going bar a couple of engine mods for <$50K.

[Fidgits]

yeah, good idea...

My enzo will be going up on the auction site in about an hour:



unless someone wants to 'swap' something worth 250-300k for it?


I think a 'borrow' system would be interesting to - say for very niche races, someone gifts you a car to win it, then gives it back..

Hmm, market doesn't like the colour, and the interior is a bit dodgy. How many miles has it done?. See, it's been tracked, the tires need replacing, and we'll have to look into what is causing that terrible understeer. There's a lot of them around see, and they are difficult to shift. I could probably give you $20K plus a Corvette I have if you are looking to trade, but I'd be doing you a favour. I've got kids to feed, you know.

okay - its up on the auction - 2 hour auction

Finish time 7:15pm

Starting price - a bargin 75,000

The car is the above Enzo - U999, level 3, with the Polizia paintwork.

I decided against a buyout - I figure it makes what it makes - though if its cheap, i'd prefer a PHer got it!

[y2blade]

auction time kept getting bumped up

i gave up when it went to MY WINNING bid 50secs after it had changed to 1min!!!(ie 10 secs left) then went back up to 2 mins!!!!

and stayed there for ages!!! bidding got stupid

so i bought a gallardo instead

ah - that - if a new bid comes in it gives 2 minutes for other bids..

went for 350k! I was impressed, I never expected to get more than i paid for it! perhaps the time spent doing the POLIZIA paint job!

and heres my other Enzo

I gave up bidding at 300k, I figured you'd break even after that

[Fidgits]
