How to unlock the Platinum Collector achievement in Forza Motorsport 7 - Definitive Guide

Unless you want to play the game for more than 500 hours at current payouts here is how to do it: First work your way through the game until you reach car collector tier 5. That sets you up for the best levelup rewards (50k CR). It also naturally gets you to close to 80 cars. And then the fun begins.

Buy 620 1977 AMC Pacer X. To do so you have to amass 12.4 million CR in your bank account. Just get the CR at every level, redeem your weekly Forza rewards money, if you're up for it grind your way to it:

Doing a two hour race at Indianapolis Oval in an Indycar (you have to buy one first for 425k CR) with three 100 % CR boost mods and against unbeatable Drivatars pays around 1.5 million CR including the level rewards. That's the fastest way to make money. So yeah, it is going to take a while to get there.

Once you have the money go to the car collection screen, select the AMC Pacer X some way to the right and spam the A button. You don't have to choose colours, every second button press gives you a new car.

When the achievements (for all the "Collect X cars" achievements) are unlocked go to your garage. Select AMC and sell every single Pacer X. This gives you back half your money. With those 6.2 million CR you are now free to buy the cheapest driver gear loot crate (70.000 a piece) to get the corresponding achievements and mods for even more achievements.

This is by far the fastest way, it should take 30 to 35 hours to get there if you grind Indy. Note that this method only works if you are a VIP and get the five 100 % CR mods. And you have to make them count, since you only get five 300 % sessions and five 200 % sessions out of them. So don't waste them, do long races (4 hours would be the maximum) when you use them.

My small tips to add:

1) Make use of the auction house. It's slower than just spamming 20k cars back to back obviously, but it will reduce the credit grind significantly. There are always tons of Hyundai Velostar N/Velostar Turbo and Honda Civic Type R cars up for auction for less than 10k, you can routinely pick up cars for 3k-6k. You can search for auctions with a max bid of 10k to find all the cheap ones, bid on everything up for auction in the next 3 hours, and then get back to your grind. It will tie up some of your funds until the auctions end, but when you're bidding on things that cost 3-6k, you can have 20 bids going and not even have 100k tied up. Every once in a while, I would divide the amount of money I had by the amount of cars I still needed to figure out how much I would need to spend per car to just outright buy the rest of my cars. Once that amount exceeded 20k, I knew I had enough to just buy the rest of my cars without monkeying with the auction house.

2) Auction/sell expensive cars as soon as you don't need them. Cars you win or are awarded can only be sold for 100 credits, so find out how much they cost if you were to buy one, and put them up for auction at 1/2 that price or less. If you bought a car, you can sell it at half price, and that might be worth it to avoid the hassle of auctioning. But if you can auction off one car and get 100k for it, even if it was worth 1mil, that's still essentially 4 free cars if you take that 100k and buy 5 20k cars. Or 19 free cars if you put that 100k toward 5k auctions. This is especially effective with the "_____-spec" cars where there is only one car in the category and it's needed for an event. Auction it at a lower price than the game charges, and it's almost sure to sell.

3) You CAN get credits for races that use the super easy assists. The determining factor in whether or not you get credits for a race is whether or not there is any steering input during each lap of the race. Use Super Easy steering if you want, just make sure you still do some steering of your own during EACH LAP. You WILL get your credits. This goes for mods as well. If you forget to do any steering during any lap of the race, that will void your reward, so you can't AFK the cups as easily as you could have otherwise.

4) DON'T prioritize putting the drivatar difficulty on the highest setting. You get more credits the better your finish, so doubling the credits you're getting from a 12th place finish is not significantly better than getting an extra 20% credits on a 1st place finish. I tested this on a 2-lap race at Daytona. A 1st place finish on New Racer difficulty got me 3500 credits with no difficulty bonus. A 24th place finish on Unbeatable difficulty got me 650 credits with a 650 credit difficulty bonus (1300 total), so as you can see, the difficulty bonus is really not worth it if you can't place well. Go with the highest difficulty where you can consistently manage being in the top 3. If that means choosing one of the 0% bonus difficulties, so be it, you'll still come out ahead.

Can you turn off collision mode?
I didn't get any credits with unbeatable ai on but no mods, do you need mods on to get the credits on freeplay?
Do you click on next race after you’ve finished? I did four hour race but clicked quit and didn’t get any credits.

You can’t do 4 hour races for credits. I’ve done one on easy assists and didn’t get anything. And it used up my vip cards. Either 50 laps or a two hour race.

Just a little tip:
Go offline when you will be buying your AMC's. It will be a way faster than while online where the paint jobs loading times takes a couple seconds. Automatic game saves also takes less time

I waited until I had 650 through normal gameplay, and then bought 50 pacers and sold them again. I bought them from the car collection menu which is faster, it is not necessary to go offline.

Edit: 650 because it became difficult to get cars easily.

If you have the relevant DLC, then the Citroen 2CV is the cheapest car in the game at 19,500 credits. Sure it's only slightly cheaper, but if you're buying hundreds then it adds up.

Only issue with this solution, is I’d say, do the rest of the game first.
Once you’ve finished all the championships, a) you’ll have a bundle of cars towards it potentially, b) you’ll have a lot of the money towards buying them.
So the actually grind left over is a lot less.

(Factor in the fact they give you bonus credits in Forzathon monthly for doing 5/10 races, and then the Hub gives you a load more too. If you collect those as you play, over the weeks that’s easily 3-4 million towards your total needed just as you’re playing anyway).

My point being, don’t grind too early just for this, when you have other stuff left to do. Leave it to the very last

Sell all your cars that are worth more than 20k and when you get the credits just spam buy the cheapest car in the game the AMC Pacer. That got me from around 25% to 70% and I haven't sold even 50% of my cars yet. Much less time consuming than doing 3 hour races.

Just to add to the solution... if you're a VIP and you have other accounts on your XBOX, they all get the VIP treatment as well... (found this out doing tunes & designs)

for instance i have 8 accounts on my XBOX ONE so each one got all of the legendary 100% CR mods along with all the other extras (cars, mods, and 1mil credit)... ( so thats a minimum of 8mil CR just from the 1mil bonus, not including selling cars and doing the MOD races)

So you can do the mod races on all other accounts as well... THEN...

.... I figure once the auction house is active, you can have the buy out price for any car set to what you other account as CR wise, and "transfer" that way to your main account....

I recommend VIP if you would like to collect different cars, rather than 700 identical cars. You will get at least 100% more credits for every thing you do, as well as a few bonus cars that are some of the best in the game.

I have VIP, and by the end of the game I had 666 of the currently available cars and only bought 33 AMC Pacer X's just to get this achievement, then sold them again.

Update 2: I now own 734 different cars out of the 750 released cars out of the 772 total cars.

Krachkind - absolutely. When buying multiple cars do it exactly like X1 Two said in their solution.

You can put drivatar on unbeatable. Just switch the race type to "Bigger is Better" based on time, then come in last. Since you'll have the highest time in the race it will mark you as coming in first.

Earned all the credits on the way to completing all the championships. Once you have the credits, exit the game and force quit to make sure it uploads your save to the cloud. Then load the game, go to car collection, and mash A on the pacer until your achievements pop. Then:

dashboard
Menu -> manage game on Forza (DO NOT QUIT THE GAME)
Manage save files
delete from console only (the left most option)

This will force close the game. Then relaunch it and you'll have all your credits back and no trash in your garage after it resyncs from the cloud.

If you're going for all the other achievements in the game, then you can get this achievement, without extra grinding, with enough spare money to get extra suits and anything else you'll need for the other achievements.

You do this by going for fully completing all the championships and by following some simple tips as you do so.

Your basic aim is to get as much money as you can from every opportunity. You want to have 14 million credits by the end of the game so you can buy 700 copies of a car that costs 20k credits (there are two or three that do so - 20k is the cheapest). The 700 cars do not have to be all different.

Although, in reality, you'll probably have about 100 cars from just playing the game at this point, so you won't need quite as much.

To gain this amount of money without having to grind, do the following:

1. Never ever buy a car unless you need to for a competition

Any cars you buy are slowing you getting to the 14 million target. When you do need to buy a car, also make sure you buy the cheapest one possible.

2. Be sure to make use of mods

This is massively important. Buy the premier mod pack (35k each) to get the best mods, so that you can equip them, and gain more money per race. This should net you 20-30k a race (when I did all this, the mod pack cost 50k and I still was in profit, so you'll manage it even better; I bought 10 mod packs at a time so I could use them efficiently - three mods that are all the same so you don't have to do the same things multiple times etc).

3. Only buy mod loot crates, and the premier ones at that

Don't waste your money on any other type of loot crate.

4. Try to race using as few aids as you can, and with a drivatar difficulty of Highly Skilled at least

Sometimes it won't be possible, as the game just makes it overly hard on some events/circuits, but raise it back when you can, as racing with as few aids as possible and on as high a difficulty as possible nets you extra cash each race. It all adds up!

5. Do the showcase events as soon as you can

This is because they give you a free car when won, which means it's one less to buy for some of the tournaments you have to enter.

6. Complete championships asap too

For the same reason as above, complete entire championships as soon as you can too, as that gives you a free car.

7. Complete the weekly Forzathon challenges

These also grant you free cars, as well money bonuses and driver gear...all of which will help with this and/or the other achievements.

8. Let the freebie cars you get (from points 5, 6 and 7) level up your car collector level

Don't be tempted to buy any to increase your collector level; while you do lose out on end of level cash by being a lower level, you'll soon get to the levels that give you 50k at each level up from the cars you win from showcases/championships.

It'll also be impossible to enter some events without having to buy a car, so leave buying to when you really have no choice.

9. Always choose the money option when you level up

You may think that it's better to get the free/discounted car, but it isn't, because each 20k you get is an extra car at the end of the game...you'll get 20k for just levelling up, and once you're a few car collector levels in, you'll be gaining an extra 50k on top of this.

Having said the above, if the car in question is one that you'd need for one of the tournaments, then do choose the free/discounted car option, as it'll save you money due to you needing it anyway (you can click B to make the decision later if you want to go and check car requirements for specific tournaments, before going to the Prizes section of the main menu to finally make the choice).

However, it should be noted that there's a chance you'd get a car in the same class/bracket for the tournament from winning an entire tournament or showcase or from completing Forzathon challenges. I think I choose the free/discounted car option about 5 times max, and most, if not all, of them were towards the start of the game before I had formulated this plan...so it isn't something to worry too much over.

matthias005 has also added that, if the car you get for a level up bonus is a popular car, such as a Nissan GT-R 2017, it will sell very well at auction - way more than 50K. So, while it may be hard to know what cars will sell and what cards won't, be on the lookout for anything obvious that may well sell for more than 50K at auction (matthaias005 said he got upwards of 250K for the GT-R!).

10. Always get the weekly payout from the Forza HUB

This nets you around 250k for no effort at all (usually refreshes on a Friday, but check often regardless). The Forza HUB can be accessed from the main menu (just go to the daily rewards section once in the hub, and you'll automatically be allocated the money, which you then have to download from the gifts section of your mailbox)

---

Using these techniques, you'll find you'll get to 14 million credits before you finish all the championships, at which point you can start treating yourself to the odd car and other things, but you must be sure you have enough credits for when you're ready to buy the 700 cars at 20k each.

The easiest way to buy the cars is from the car collection screen, where it shows all your cars and their levels on one scrollable screen from the main menu. You can basically one-click buy each car, so you just keep hammering the A button without having to pick a car colour or design etc.

You can sell the cars after you've bought them to get half the money back; however, I would be wary of doing so, because if any DLC has an achievement for having 800 cars, this will be very hard to do so if you've sold them all.

This is the technique I used, when the premier mod crates cost 50k each, and Forzathon only being introduced towards the last week of me playing. Despite all this, I still ended the game with around 3 million credits left after buying 600 20k cars, which I spent on getting the extra outfits from look crates to finish those achievements off.

So it definitely works and eliminates any need for grinding (other than grinding through the game itself!)

I would like to add something to 9. Always choose the money option when you level up.
If the level up reward is a popular car, it's better to choose this one and sell it on the auction house. This rewards you with a lot more than the 50k. I got the Nissas GT-R 2017 as reward and sold it for 250k.

"however, I would be wary of doing so, because if any DLC has an achievement for having 800 cars, this will be very hard to do so if you've sold them all."

Why would you say this and give me anxiety?

In all seriousness, very nice write up! Thanks. I didn't know about the ability to buy cars fast without choosing colours etc. That makes this a breeze. I started the game with 19m credits (111 messages after installing game from the Hub). Will knock these out first.

Hi All,

just another suggestion to increase your car count. I've had very good luck in the auction house on low priced cars & trucks.

Method: go to auction house, select "deals" browse through the list. I was bidding on cars from 1K to 15k. You don't have to bid on cars above 15K but you can.
Go through the entire list skipping anything over your self imposed max bid. You also don't need to amass a lot of credits to place a lot of bids. The "deals" auction list only has cars with auctions ending in 1hr or less so you can crank through the list in 5min and place bids. You will get outbid a lot. But a good run will get you about 7 or 8 cars per hour. Be sure to check "my bids" to collect your cars won and credits from lost auctions. You can be working on other stuff in the game or another game and just check back every hour or so. Don't be tempted to outbid someone if the price has gone above your max bid.
You will amass a fair amount of caddy limos, hoonigan cars, trucks, and other low priced vehicles. The beauty here is they are not all AMC pacers, you should be able to get all your credits back once reaching 700 cars and popping the achievement(s). And you'll be helping others by relisting all those cheap cars you don't want anymore. Hope that helps.

To save yourself some money, this would best be left towards the end of your playthrough or after you’ve finished the career. After you’ve gotten to that point go ahead on the Main Menu and go to the ‘Progress’ tab and under ‘My Stats’. Here is where you can see how many total cars you currently own. Just go ahead and figure out how many away from 700 you are and then you can buy the 1977 AMC Pacer X for 20k credits, or any other fairly cheap car. 

Once you’ve gotten to 700 and unlocked the achievement (and any prior collector achievements you might not have gotten yet) you can go back into your collection and start reselling all the Pacers you just bought. You’ll get about half your money back that you spent.

Collecting 700 cars does not mean 700 different cars. Buy an infinite number of times, for example, a Ford Fiesta 81 or a Subaru Brat - one of the cheapest cars in the game, for 20,000 credits each. If you sell several formulaic “spaceships” that you don’t need (which are probably gathering dust in your garage) for 200-300 thousand each, then you can immediately buy the number of fiestas or brothers you are missing.

It is advisable, of course, to gradually bother with this as you progress, slowly buying a few more cheap cars. But I gave up on it, and in the end there were more than 400 cars left to buy. I bought the Abarth 595 for 28k, since it’s at the very beginning of the list and I don’t need to scroll through and select for a long time.
