One more thing before I start..

To reiterate, my main goal is to build a Garage that has all of the Used Cars, in all lowest-mileage forms (6.2 AND 9000+)... whether or not they are available elsewhere. Minimum days don't mean much to me other than the time I spend playing.

There are 8 cars that I'll need to buy that appear on the 100th week of the cycle. In addition to the Black Beauties (the 4 SuperCars), they are:
- Daihatsu Storia X4 '00 (13553.4 mi) - lowest mileage available (non-new)
- Honda S2000 Type V '00 (12766.6 mi) - lowest non-6.2 mileage available
- Lexus GS300 '91 (34454.3 mi) - lowest mileage available
- Suzuki Alto Works RS-Z '97 (21999.7 mi) - lowest mileage available

So, I will give one up on week 100 (the S2000, and/or one of the BBs) to acquire it on week 200. This way, I'd at least be able to have every used non-showroom, non-prize car in my Garage by the time I hit 100%.

However, My goal is to have every Used Car available, in all of their lowest mileage forms, UNTOUCHED. This will take at least 200 weeks (199 weeks + 1 day).

To get the lowest mileage cars that aren't available elsewhere, it would take at least 175 weeks (174 weeks + 1 day). There are 8 lowest mileage vehicles that appear during week 75, NONE of which are available elsewhere.

Week 67 is also a pinch. There are 18 lowest mileage vehicles that appear during that week, 8 of which cannot be purchased elsewhere. Thus, it would take at least 167 weeks (166 weeks + 1 day) to acquire all of the unique lowest mileage vehicles that appear during that week.

To simply get all used cars unavailable elsewhere (regardless of condition) would take 260 "extra" days.
To simply get all used cars (regardless of condition) would take 275 "extra" days.

I'd like to have the Ultimate Tester's Gamesave, where I can drive any car available in the game, in the best of all untouched conditions. I don't want to have to waste time putting miles on a 6.2 mile used car just to see what HP dropoff there is at 9000+ miles, or to try to test-run races with a car that's been abused. After all, I figure the most one can do in this game is to drive every single car on every single track in as many different situations as possible. I will likely not do so, but at least I'll have the gamesave to do it with!

Have A Great Drive!
