How to unlock the Car Broker achievement in Forza Motorsport 2 - Definitive Guide

[UPDATE]: Auction House Servers are no longer online, making this achievement no longer attainable.

[original solution below]
The best way I found to do this quick and easily is when I was already playing online with a buddy. I told him that if he bought 5 cars from me that I would then buy them back from him. We would then both get the achievement at the same time. He agreed, and it worked as we thought it would.

(Auction any 5 cars you want)

Steps:
-Set selling price to minimum (5,000).
-Set Buyout to Yes.
-Set Buyout price to minimum (10,000).
-Do this for 5 cars.

Your friend will need to know some minimum info in order to search for your cars that are for sale:
-Level
-Class
-Make (if you know it)
-Model
-Year (if applicable. it helps narrow it down)

also tell him to set price when searching to "affordable".

After he buys your cars, have him go to the "My Bids" tab of the auction house so he can actually select "receive car" to complete each transaction.

YOU will need to then go the "My Auctions" tab of the auction house to select "receive money" for each transaction.

You have now sold 5 cars and he has bought 5 cars. Switch to him selling those cars and you buying them following the above steps and you'll both have the achievement.

Screw auctions, "buyout" is where it's at! :)

I just got the achievement today. The servers are very spotty. They will be down for a few days then back up for a few more. Just have to keep checking back. All I did was look for cars with a buyout of 10k and after about 5 mins I had the achievement. Thanks!

you should be able to. As in my example, I sold 5 cars and then bought those same 5 cars back and it counted as 10.

hrm, yeah that is strange. As others have said, the servers have been spotty, or just off. At the time I wrote the solution (november of 2009), this was a valid way to get the achievement. I have zero control as to whether the online servers are on/off/spotty.

Fyi for anyone who wants to wipe up forza 2, this achievement is STILL unobtainable despite numerous unanswered threads on the forza motorsport forums. Note that I recently tried to list cars on the auction which fails, but the game is now eating the car. I tried to list the ford focus svt 10 times and it ate the car every time, but no cheevo. There's no point even trying. I even signed in with another account to see if they really did get listed, but no. I have also tried glitching this one by disconnecting the Xbox and other strategies, but nothing has worked. I don't believe gifting cars will work, either.

Someone got this on September 2017 online and someone got it offline on August 2017. How is this still considered discontinued if it's still being gotten?

I tried putting a car up for auction to see what would happen. The system wouldn't allow it and worst of all the car I was auctioning disappeared so don't do this.

Has anyone tried this recently? Is it definitely unobtainable? I haven’t started the game yet, but if there is a way to get this I’ll do it quickly double boxing if necessary.

Truly sad. I tried to contact Turn 10, but they said they no longer support some features on legacy Forza Motorsport titles. Is there a way to contact Microsoft to fiz that?

Someone's just 'won' it but they've already bene reported to TA, curious.

Say, I wonder, what if members of the community just kept game servers going for niche achievements like this? Random people have servers running for whatever reason, and it's not like Turn 10 are gonna do anything with it.

They probably had it years ago, but recently registered an account on this site. That is my guess.

UPDATE: A few people have commented and confirmed that the Car Broker cheevo is still obtainable as of March 28th 2013 and I just went on the auction house and I can confirm that the auction house servers are still online as of March 30th 2013 but I still suggest getting this achievement soon just in case they do close the servers for the auction house soon.

UPDATE #2 Someone let me know that Turn 10 finally shut down the auction house servers and I went to the auction house and it won't load so I can confirm as of April 16th 2013 that you can't get this achievement anymore but this achievement is still obtainable

(ORIGINAL POST) THIS IS NOT A SOLUTION. On March 15th, 2013 Turn 10 closed their servers for the auction house and you can no longer get this achievement but the servers for the multiplayer are still online and you can still get

The servers are still online, plus this is not a solution for the achievement, when the servers are down, a flag should be added to the achievement.

My bad there's been an announcement and confirmation on their forums: http://forums.forzamotorsport.net/forums/thread/6000002.aspx

Though there are no comments atm as to new topics talking about the "what did it not shut down?" and "please keep it up this is part of FM2 history and stuff".

I can actually confirm that this achievement's STILL available to get! smile

Turns out the Auction house was just down for the moment, so I took the opportunity and snagged it. Afterwards, I celebrated my triumphant victory with this...

ZhuleCRO1985 , I agree. I have been seeing this for sometime on TA. What I have been noticing for a year mostly with Forza 3. Turn 10 is randomly taking their servers offline for long periods of time and are bring them back up randomly. Which means if this is the case for Forza 2 then its still possible. Or the other possibly is theirs a site issue with TA which might of posted the unlock dates in error.

I believe it’s still obtainable I’m currently grinding my way to finish these achievements as I neglected to in the past. I find if you go to auction house it does search I guess depending on who’s online but very rarely there’s anyone on here. If someone is able to help online we could figure out a way to auction each other cars.
