Lots of Lots of Cars...

Before I get going on this gamesave, I need to learn enough about it to clearly define my goals. One of the biggest factors for doing so is the fact that there are so many ways to acquire cars for the GT Mode Garage.

There are 724 cars available for use in GT4 (I'm still working to confirm it). Not all of these can be used to enter races. Some of them can only be acquired as Prize/Bonus Cars (for completing certain parts of the game), some of them are found in each Dealer's Showroom (found in their respective countries), some of them can be found in one of the three Used Car Lots (I, II, and Historic), and some cars are sold in the Tuner's Village.

There is one last way that a vehicle can make it's way into the Garage, via Memory Card Transfer. Since this gamesave will be "Stand-Alone" (no Cars, Licenses, nor $Cr transferred from another card/game), there's no need to discuss how this is done... I don't know, anyway...

One point that needs to be mentioned is that every car purchased (and delivered) will be logged in the GT Mode Diary for that Day's activity. This is something VERY different from GT3, where multiple (infinite) cars could be purchased on the same day. This is one the biggest issues I'm dealing with, trying to decide whether I prefer a "Minimum Game Day 100%", or a "Super-Garage 100%". I'll talk more about this later, but I'm leaning more toward the Super-Garage...

As far as I can tell, all cars that appear in this game can be acquired for the GT Mode Garage. If I discover any that can't be acquired, I'll update this post.

Have A Great Drive!
