That is one way to look at it, but even if you don't win the car, the upgrades stay on it. So if and when you finally do get the car through a sale, it's already upgraded some from the event. But now, you have to actually pay for the car too, even if it's a bit lower.

When you buy the car, then upgrade it later, you are spending more gold overall. Lots of these cars can be won for much less than the full upgrade cost. Sometimes for just R$. That's a lot better than buying it, at any price.
