Is there any way you can check how much you paid for a car on auction? I’ve looked around but can’t really find anything.

It shows up when you buy it, but if you collect the car it isn't available any more.

That was a nice little earner - buy at $138k, tune & paint ($80k) and sell for $522k.
Something changed in the last week and the $522k has become $320k.
same tuner and painter.

Still got 18 tuned to 999 - watch and wait.

Single thing. What level or something else, How to get the auction house

I've noticed the bugatti divo's current max buyout for a non legendary painter is still stuck at 140,000. I know it is easily worth much more than that but it has been over two months since it released and the value hasn't budged. Will cars like the Bugatti Divo ever get their auction house values fixed?

My impression is that something has gone wrong with the pricing for various cars. The Hoonigan RS200 was up at 15,000,000 at one stage. It was then a prize car and, understandably, reduced. However, it’s been stuck at just over 200,000 max buyout for weeks - despite every one which is listed being sold instantly. Somewhat annoying, as I have about 5 of them spare!

The auction pricing has always been bad, and needs changing to a new method.

Sold a car for 5 mil and the AH took away 700k. I really don't need money at this point but still, 700k? It's just too much IMO.

Yes

I’ve been playing about a month and can already tell the auction house is a **** tip.. I’m from the old school days of FM1,2,3,4 when the auction houses were actually useful.. hopefully they will address it but with the game (and problem) already been sat there for so long I highly doubt that they will address it..

The current system has its flaws, but for getting autoshow cars without relying on wheelspins, it definitely works. As much as getting some ultra rare cars is based on luck of the draw, the current system caps everything at 20 millions. From FM2 to FM4, the rare cars (unicorns) were always going up to the maximum credits you can get in the game, which would definitely happen in FH4 with the ultra rare cars like the Capri FE.

Can anyone please explain the mechanism for increasing/decreasing prices currently?

There's a stack of Hummer Opentop's and BMW M3 GTR's going for 10mil+, whereas the sought after Lambo Hurican P's disappear in a split second and are less than 200k!!??

Some cars are buggen. Hoonigan rs200 never made it over 300k.. Yet thousands sold a while ago for max buyout in a second. 599xxE can't get over 8 million now for some reason even though they sell in a second. Yet the AMR has been out for a few days and is already at 2.5+ million.

I'm surprised the pista/divo/812 are all over 1 million now.

Nothing is going to change though, at least it's not like it used to be where only painters\tuners could sell for high amounts.

It's just that the maths is messed up, they could fix it.

i am fairly new to horizon 4 and i enjoy the auction house but i dont understand why you are limited to selling only so many cars a day. its like minecraft saying you have used enough blocks for today come back in 24 hours or gta saying you have used enough bullets for this time period come back tomorrow. who ever heard of a developer trying to limit a players fun. some people enjoy the auction house as much as driving but to put limitations on it is just bizzare. its like going to a real auction and the auctioneer saying oh im sorry you have bought enough for today. this is just plain stupid. so what if certain players dominate the auctions, its all fair in love and war. this was a dumb idea sorry forza for just wanting to enjoy the game.

does anyone know why i cant sell my 10 milion vehicle just for 1 milion and it happens to every vehicle

Why is it in the auction house some people can any old rubbish car and put it in for 20million credits yet when I try to put cars in the auction house that I can only put for about 74k or 149k or whatever?

If 1 car can be put in for that much than all should be able to, is it not bad enough that you can no longer sell cars without the auction house meaning my garage is full of rubbish and my only option is to remove them for nothing which means that it's not worth the effort to go through removing them

You need to level up your "tuner' "painter" status. This allows you to auction vehicles for a higher cost.

Only high level tuners & painters can list cars for those prices. If you want the privilege, put in the work to reach that level like they did.

Your Max Buyout price that you can set when you put a car up for auction is directly related to your level in Painting & Tuning. People with a higher levels can set Max Buyout prices higher.

Unless the car is in high demand and low supply, being able to set a higher buyout doesn't mean you'd sell it anyway. The way the system works now is that - mostly - the cars with low buyouts will be the ones that are plentiful and/or aren't very popular.

Thank you for the info on tuning and stuff the game doesn't explain that

There are other threads on this already btw. To be able to set a high price for any car, you would need to reach 50,000 downloads/likes/uses for tunes or paints. Suffice to say that nobody starting now will be able to achieve that so forget it. It's not about your level per se, because you can increase that by sharing and unsharing a tune or paint, but that won't count towards the 50k target.

edit - threads have been merged now.

While 'work' is definitely the case for some who've got there any level in tuner + painter is attainable for anyone by uploading enough useless garbage, while there's a good chance they know what they're doing if they're a rank 20 it isn't a 100% guarantee somebody is a genuinely good designer or tuner, they could just have had the incredible patience to go through the stuttering menus of uploading all those times.

Selling them for credits like in FM4 and levelling up through credits earned would have been a much better option in my opinion, while that would have made it more open to boosting at least the genuinely top designers + tuners would have received what they deserve eventually and brilliant one-offs from players who aren't constant painters/tuners would have got them a good chunk of money + a worthy tuner/painter level to go with it, no creator of the top few designs on cars should be a low level and yet often so many of them are.

I can't recall the car but 1 of the top designs on one of them is from a rank 3 the same as me, so by the current system's logic that player has the same amount of ability as me who's artistic capability in Forza goes as far as adding stripes and putting black all around the bottom of the car.
