It's obvious to me that they are targeting 2 types of players.

The whales who can spend $100 again and again (buying just once doesn't get you anywhere, 1000 gold is nothing with the current cost of upgrading the cars)

And second, the new player who doesn't understand how the game works and thinks 1000 gold is a lot and will get him far into the game. Or who is stuck in a SE or LTS and badly wants that car, especially if he already invested gold.
