Selling cars is a core mechanic of any racing game. In Forza Horizon 5, players have hundreds of cars to choose from due to which the odds of owning every single car for the majority of players are quite less.
As not many are willing to spend on microtransactions, players are only left with two choices to achieve their dream cars: grinding through the festival or selling some cars from their collection.
This guide dives into the selling part. Sure, it’s hard to say goodbye to your most used car for a new one, but the game often awards you with excessive vehicles through wheelspins and challenges. By selling them, you can make millions of credits, crucial to multiply your collection with only the finest.
The Auction House
There’s no simple way to sell vehicles in Forza Horizon 5. We are not saying it’s complicated but it’s not as quick as pressing a couple of buttons and getting credits instantly. Since every car is special, players can only auction them out in exchange of in-game currency.
This unique approach is hardly available in any other game and creates an additional activity that complements car culture. Players can look for available auctions, track their bids, and put their four-wheeler as well, with the price they are willing to sell it for.
How To Sell Cars On Forza Horizon 5
As our intent is to sell automobiles, here’s how to put them up for auction in Forza Horizon 5.
- Hit pause and go to the Cars menu.
- Select Buy New & Used Cars and travel to the Festival.
- From the Festival, select the Auction House.
- Select Start Auction and choose the vehicle you want to sell.
- Click on Auction Car.
- Select Starting Price, Buyout Price, and Auction Length.
- Hit Confirm.
That’s how you sell your rarest cars in Forza Horizon 5. To be clear, your starting price is the least amount you’ll be willing to sell your vehicle for. Buyout, on the other hand, is your maximum price that any player can pay and claim the car instantly. Additionally, the game also allows you to change the auction length so you can either get your credit ASAP or wait for the best offers.
Things To Consider
Selling vehicles may seem straightforward in the Auction House. However, there are a couple of things to consider for successful sales.
- Price Intelligently: Most players put unrealistic price tags on their vehicle and end up with zero offers. That’s why you should always set a buyout slightly below the most common one you see listed for the same car.
- Pick the Right Cars: Avoid flooding the house with common vehicles that almost every player owns. Identify the high-demand cars in the community and put them up for sale if available.
- Make Your Cars Attractive: Nobody likes a highly customized vehicle. That’s why always keep your car shiny and simple so players can buy it and quickly shape them according to their taste.
Additionally, don’t forget to keep the track of your auctions. Once you sell a car, the game holds your credits for 60 days, after that they vanish. While it’s a lot of time, some people forget to claim their amount especially if their auction length was high. Whenever you open the game, always ensure what happened to your auction.
With that, our guide comes to an end. As Forza Horizon 6 is still in works, you still have plenty of time to look for the best barn finds and stunning views around the streets of Mexico.
