Hey guys, I have a question, I'm not sure how to go about it and I don't want to "experiment" and lose a car either.....
Ok it goes like this:
I'm trying to get my "all cars" achievements which also involves all production cars, tuner cars, and all race cars as part of the secret achievements...... in order to achieve this and free up room in my garage I'm gifting all the "extras" of my cars I have over to my other gamertag, because the month gold trial is still in effect until mid september.
The unfortunate part of the situation is this.... You can't gift over exclusive content.... and I have a LOT of Evo X and like 4 Audi S5s.... and 3 BMWs.... as well as other cars that aren't even PART of the achievement.
Since I can't gift them over the only thing I can think of, is to put them on the AH with a no buyout and then quickly cancel the auction....
So now that we're on the same train of thought..... my question is this.......... CAN I do that? Can I put the DLC cars up for auction and then quickly cancel them so they sit in my auction house "unresolved" and then after I get my achievement I can resolve them and download the cars back into my garage?
Will I be able to do that or will I run the risk of losing any cars?
Thanks guys!!

You can but you have to make sure that nobody bids on it

Yeah I was thinking about that......... and the problem is I have a few GOOD evo Xs.... like a TE3. I'm just gonna have to put it in a price range that no one watches, lol
Maybe I'll wit until the ungodly hours of the morning for both the US and the UK, lmao

if i had my xbox, i'd buy em off ya and hold onto em but, i don't sorry bud.
something else you could do is start the bidding at a million each car to ensure those that MIGHT bid more than likely wont

well so far it's been going pretty good, I don't want to have to do too much of the gifting and sending back and forth because I heard too much of that causes layer shift, and I haz pretty paints like my yellowshark 1 and 2 and mspeed2.5 and the GS "daisy" calsonic r34, and uh the PBT porsches I haz, lol
Seriously though I've got like 40 cars "expired" in my AH now, and I have enough room to finally get the other cars I need (I made a list and I need 150 cars mostly the race car crap).... THANK YE LORD!
Now I just have to attempt at acquiring them, I'm going to try and buy them all from the AH if possible..... anyone willing to help me out on the cars I can't get from the AH? you can throw them on the AH and I'll buy them off you so you don't lose money ;D

actually i did that same thing....no matter what someone is looking at as long as you start it over 250,000 and unfeatured no one will have time to bid...it would only be up for maybe 1 second total if you get good at it...i use the auction house as an expansion until i can get xbl codes to transfer to my other garages...

Thanks guys....... Yeah I'm going to look for all the cars I need on the AH first... (a nice list of about 140-150 haha) It might actually be less than that, becuase I think I might be including a few of the DLC cars on accident, but I AM using the original "forza car list" that was put out when the game first came out. So I'm just gonna check off everything from there in order.
I just want to be a little prepared because in the back of my mind I'm thinking there may be like 3 or 4 cars that I can't find on the AH, lol.

Bro they will show back up again, unless you didn't get them in time and don't worry if you did lose your Black Sun, I'll take car of that. Contact Jfiler personally about the Sharks and tell him what happened.

How I lost them: I was gifting them over to my other account (the one month trial gold)....... now when I look through the trail account, I don't see them.... and when I look through my primary account, I don't see them either......... maybe they are "lost in translation" and didn't show up the first time when I downloaded the cars, and they're waiting to pop up the next time I log in?
I'll check tomorrow, I'm going to go to sleep and pass out, have an early saturday ahead of me.

I hope so! I finally got my all cars achievements...... sweet. Now I just need to finish the career races (i'm level 35) and get all gold, which shouldn't be a problem. The thing that's gonna take the longest is the 1 million online credits, and I've made 70k so far, lmao! 930,000 to go!!!! And I hope my cars are there.... BTW something screwed up.... my silver account, the one month trail expired yesterday, so I entered a 48 hour gold trial to gift cars back over, and it said I can't do it and must be a gold member, but I can still go into the AH and buy cars.... it didn't make sense Do you think the Trial applied to my Primary account on accident and not my silver account? I redeemed the code while I was signed into my silver account though.....

They may have turned into non favorite cars and got mixed into your other cars. Look carefully at your entire garage. I thought I lost cars doing the same thing. They just got mixed into the main list.
