Disclaimer: my personal experience is that I've spent $500 U.S. on this game since I started playing in 2014, for an average of $100 per year. The last time I made a purchase was in 2017, so in reality that $500 was spent in 3 years. But it makes me feel less stupid to average it out to 5 years. These purchases brought me to 100% completion and full garage a long time ago. Once you reach these goals, its not that hard to maintain them if you put in the time, which I have.

I think alot of people are missing the psychology involved here. When a person plays a game, they usually want to win the game, or reach the end point of the game. RR3 has no end point, and it took me $500 to figure that out. You can never "win" in the traditional sense, or ever reach the end point of the game. Because 100% completion ("winning" the game) only lasts a few days before the next update. So I recommend that newer players keep that in mind and not think this is a game you can win.,

My point to all this is to encourage new players to NOT make the mistake I did in chasing an end goal that will cost real money to reach, and then changes again. If I had to start over again, I'd just play casually, go for the cars I like, and not treat this as a "game" in the traditional sense, but rather as a hobby to waste some time and take out my frustration. I mean, who doesn't like wrecking the entire field of cars after a bad day at work.
