So my recommendation would be to save before starting the special event and just do the special event. If you can't win the car then restore to before the event, recover your gold and buy the car in the sale. Simples.

I don't think PR 104 is the point with which it is 'better' to buy the car than trying to win it. If you buy the car it has no upgrades. If you win the car it is upgraded. However you look at it, the like for like comparison is always:
 * Buy the car full price + upgrade it to PR 104 = 950 + 400 = 1350
 * Buy the car discounted + upgrade it to PR 104 = 475 + 400 = 875
 * Win the car + upgrade it to PR 104 = 0 + 400 = 400
 * Win the car + upgrade it to PR 108 = 0 + 1290 = 1290

It's all about when/if you spend the gold.
