Is it worth it?

I started to think about this myself when these nascars came on upgrade sales recently.

Well.. These kinds of offers are fairly new in Real Racing 3 and I guess almost everyone is thinking this question. I have searched this forum a lot and reading about it in each current sales car thread here on wiki and there are a lot of opinions and questions like "this is a shit car, not worth it" or "it's only in one series, don't buy upgrades!" or "Should I upgrade?".

Well this is where you want to start. Look at your own goal of the game is and start from here. You might have a goal of 100% completion or just wanting a specific car to drive and have fun. Maybe complete everything but not Nascar... our options are many but this is the place to start when thinking about taking the upgrade offer or not.

Lets say its the current nascar Ford Fusion and you don't plan to complete nascar at all. Easy decision... ignore the offer.

If you are like me and planning to complete the game 100% and then continuing on every patch then its another thing. Now it is another question, can you afford it? This car is a total of 812 gold to full upgrade and with discount 487 gold (is my math correct? I suck at math). This means you will save 325 gold if you make all upgrades. Now! How long will it take you to save up those 325 extra gold if you need to upgrade later without the discount? It all comes down to a question of time. If you buy it now (if you can afford it) you will be done with your goal sooner and this is a fucking long game to complete.

I'm totaly not into calculating more than this and if this can help someones descision making I'll be more than happy. Maybe someone wants to complete this calculation in gold vs. time consumed. Maybe just a link to that 1G/h page could help :P In that case this would be 325h in game saved for a full upgrade.

Do you have another way to look at this? please tell me or give me your thoughts.
