Only one decision to make: do I want this car?

From a value point of view, it's a now or never no-brainer. You will not get a better chance.

Given the choice, I upgrade to R$ only upgrades. Because of the required PR, that's not an option here. Outside of this LTS, this 900 GC car will cost you somewhere in the region of 540 golds (40% sale) to 720 golds (20% showcase discount).

Getting a 900 golds car with 440 golds upgrades (total value 1340) for around 330 golds (plus golds you recoup through the series and maybe Flashback series) makes good maths.

Love it or hate it (OK, hate it), it's quite a smart ploy from FM. You are more or less forced to spend gold now, to avoid spending even more gold later. Only option: passing on the car.

So if FM keep bringing out gold-only cars every release, everyone is spending gold. Then they slowly start squeezing: at first you would win a car for free, now you have to pay around 25-35%. And my prediction is that either the price of gold only cars will go up, or the required PR to complete the LTS. And thus the amount of golds you have to spend.

As soon as my gold dries up because of this, I'm heading off to the Wall of Remembrance!
