Auction house. Filter for each manufacturer that you have no car for, and bid on a few cars. I got some absolute bargains and got this achivement in no time.
ANother easy way, is to ask your friends to 'Gift' you a particular car for a while, then gift it back or whatever after the achievement.
Just MOVE them to a flash disc so you don't have to download it again.
I myself had difficulty distinguishing which DLCs are the ones came in disc and which ones are downloaded later.
This list contains DLCs which come on the second disc and no need to MOVE them:
1-Asian Car Pack
2-European Car Pack
3-American Car Pack
4-Road Racing Pack (has nothing to do with this ach)
If you keep these DLCs you're not going to lose any of your cars from these DLCs
But if you have downloaded some DLCs from net, same as me (i only got the free ones), you'll need this list of FREE DLCs which need to be MOVED to your flash in order to lose their effect on the game:
1-April DLC Pack
2-AutoWeek Car Show Pack
3-Community Pack
4-Hot Holidays Car Pack
5-Hyundai Car Pack
6-Jalopnik Car Pack
7-June DLC Pack
8-March DLC Pack
9-Stig's Garage And Forza Ultimate Car Pack
10-The Summer Velocity Car Pack
Most of these cars are locked if you have downloaded FREE versions.
But check whether you have sold the cars in these DLCs before you MOVE them.
However it will alert you at the begining of the game if you are going to lose any cars or not.
I just went to ‘My Cars’ -> ‘Search’ -> Rb to the ‘Make’ list and scrolled down comparing it against the below - Turned out I needed a Merc and a TVR to unlock – Oh and you need them in your garage at the same time so make sure you haven’t bought one then sold it a couple of days later etc

1. Buy cars from the stock - only needed.
2. Move every DLC on USB (should only left your save game) and unplug USB drive.
3. Clear cache from your Xbox and reboot X.
4. Install disc 1 and disc 2 from Xbox dashboard.
5. Run game + download patch.
6. Go to Free run-> Fast run-> and slimple ride to the finish line.
7. After finish achievement pop-up :)
Enjoy!
First thing first, beat all of the 6 seasons in career mode because after every level you reach you gonna get a free car. After you completed it you will have a lot of money which you can spend on the leftover cars. Go to the My Cars menu and list all of your Cars by Manufacturers. Write them down (which one you own of course) and go to the Buying Cars menu. Buy the cars which ones you don't own already and the achievemnt will pop up soon.
As a matter of fact: It's ok if you don't own the DLCs but count with that if you have bought one of them you probably have to own DLC manufacturer cars too.
For this achievement, you need to own at least one vehicle from EVERY manufacturer. Here's a list of what you win and what you need to buy in order to get this achievement.
