That is only a good move if you think it will cost you more than 575   in skips, because you will have to upgrade the car anyway to use it much at all in MP4/4 Historia.

Gold spent on Upgrades improves the car, and you have to do it either in the Special Event or later on in the Bonus Series. Otherwise, what is the point of having the car?

Gold Purchase price for bonus cars, is money that goes to FM with not much of anything in return. The same is true for skips. So never compare purchase price to upgrades in SEs or LTS, compare them to the cost of skips.

Let's say worst case scenario you Skip 4.2, 6.2, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 8.2, and 8.4. That would be 420   in skip cost. You get back 100   from the event, meaning that it cost you 320   to "Buy" the car in the special event. You are still 155   ahead of the game than if you purchased on the 50% off sale (310 vs. 475).

And upgrades cost the same whether you are buying them now in the SE or later in the Career Bonus Series. So basically, you would be paying the Monkeys 155   more than you should be, and likely more, because while those goals were hard, they were doable, especially if you upgrade early to say PR105.0 3333333 (485  ) or PR106.0 5333333 (680  ). PR 106.0 should also get you at least 75% completion of MP4/4 Historia which is an additional 48   back. 5 hours ago by Amrosa==Amrosa,the Monkeys request that you stop using strategic logic. :) I followed your earlier posts and decided to upgrade to 5333333 to avoid driving myself nuts,(a short trip to be sure). This MP4/4 really comes alive with some upgrades.I'm looking forward to an upgrade sale for it. The only time I've ever skipped was in the F14T flashback-Scuderia Ferrari Championship,the stage where you have to maintain a position without colliding.After about 20-25 tries,I surrendered and skipped. I wound up FU the Performante in the last event.I didn't really want to spend the gold,but it was necessary for me to finish the event. The car is spectacular in FU guise.I just wish there were more series' to drive it in. At my skill level,I wind up upgrading more than most of you guys. It doesn't bother me,I accept it as part of the game. For which I got for free. It seems the pattern lately,(since the Furai event), is stages that have 2 parameters-i.e: average speed and time,for example. I find these extermely difficult. If this is the future event format,so be it. ANY game is not on my list of things to worry about.
