Because then you can spend the GC you didn't spend on this car on other stuff.

GC is very precious in this game, no sense in spending it needlessly on something if you don't have to, even if it's a small amount like for this car.

I won the E-Type with R$ only as well and it was pretty easy, ran through Stage 3 on my 1st attempt with each race. If I had struggled, I may have considered upgrading further. But, it wasn't necessary, so I didn't. I'd much rather put that GC towards one of the cars I still need to fill my garage.

Also, you aren't getting 56 extra GC in the Bonus Series. It should be possible to get to at least 50% with just R$ upgrades in the E-Type Extravaganza, which means the extra rewards you get for upgrading further get you 38GC (15+23 for 75% and 100%).

Though, to be fair, due to how affordable this car is, it's actually one of the few in the game (and certainly best in a long time for Special Events), to be basically a slight net positive in the GC department. Most cars are serious GC pits and have a huge negative ROI. Still not enough to persuade me to upgrade further at this time though. I have more pressing (and more expensive) purchases to make. But, if one decides to upgrade this car further it's not as much of a GC sink as most other cars in the game are.

Some quick math: Cost to upgrade to 4344 - 54GC Completion bonus for E-Type Extravaganza (total) - 56GC Completion bonus for Jaguar Legacy Special Event - 35GC

So that's 91GC won minus 54 GC to upgrade, which gives a net GC gain of 37GC.

On the other hand, I spent no GC to upgrade the car, won the 25GC for completing the Special event and can likely get to 50% in the Bonus Series as well. This gives me a net gain of 43GC (25+7+11).

Again, this car is an outlier as most are much more GC negative (especially the higher level cars). But we're talking small amounts of GC here, so there's not really a bad choice either way. However, upgrading to complete the Bonus Series doesn't really gain you much in GC compared to not upgrading and earning fewer bonuses. Just depends on how close you are to 100% completion of the game and whether or not that's a goal of yours.
