Forza Horizon 5 has always stood its ground when it comes to promoting and earning your way to rake rewards. There are no options for purchasing in-game credits in the game to aid with your purchases of any items in the car. The more you progress in the game, the more CR you earn to spend.

Now, there are multiple areas where you can spend these CR to buy cars. In this article, we will be looking at how you can place bids to buy cars from the ‘Auction House’ in Forza Horizon 5.

One of the fun ways to engage in some buying action easily has to be through the auction house. It works like a real-time auction house where you place a bid on a car you like. There is a time limit for every auction during which you can place your bets. While your bet may get considered, there could always be someone willing to spend a bit more than you.

There are chances that you get to purchase a car for super cheap and chances you end up spending exorbitant prices on others. That’s the mysterious and fun aspect that adds to the flavor.

  1. Enter your pause menu and head to the cars tab. Click on Buy Cars in the center. This will then redirect you to your in-game house, where you will be able to access the shops.
  2. Click on the ‘Auction House’ under the ‘Buy & Sell’ tab. Now, click on ‘Search Auctions.’ Over here, you will see a list of various vehicles put up for auction.
  3. Make your life easier by clicking the filter and searching for the exact type and build of vehicle that you are looking for.
  4. Once done, you will see the winning bid for the car and the buyout price. You can outdo the winning bid by placing a bigger bid or directly win the car by paying the entire buyout price. If done at early stages, the buyout price would be considerably lower than the price you may end up bidding it up to.
  5. Make your bid and wait. If no one outbids you, you win the car.
