So we now have a scenario with the McLaren MP4-X where the 50% off sales on both the car and the upgrades makes it more economical to purchase the MP4-X than to win it in a Flashback or a Limited Time Series. This is assuming that you intend to Fully Upgrade the MP4-X.

All gold upgrades on the car are 1565.

At 50% off, the car is 600 and 783  for the upgrades, making the total 1,383. That leaves a margin of 182

Formula Future only paid 140, and we know that Flashbacks have not paid as much as the original events, so even with completion rewards, it is better to buy the car than to win it.
