Build your Gran Turismo 7 car collection by checking rewards before spending Credits. Focus on cars you need for upcoming events and collection goals to avoid unnecessary purchases.
Begin with Reward Cars and Cafe Menu Books
Check your active Cafe Menu Books before buying a car. Read the objectives and rewards to see whether you can earn the model you need for free.
- Check objectives: Identify the cars required for your current Menu Book.
- Check rewards: See whether a needed car is available as a prize.
- Check your garage: Avoid buying a model you already own.
- Save Credits: Complete an available reward path before purchasing the same car.
You can earn the Toyota Aqua S ’11 and Honda Fit Hybrid ’14 by finishing third or higher in their respective Sunday Cup races. The Mazda Demio XD Touring ’15 can be purchased early in the game. Completing the Menu Book rewards a Roulette Ticket.
Also see Extra Menus and Collector Level rewards for additional collection goals.
Compare Brand Central, Used Cars and Legend Cars
Brand Central sells new cars, Used Cars offers pre-owned vehicles with changing stock, and Legend Cars features special and classic cars with changing availability. Compare prices and stock before spending Credits.
| Dealership | Best for | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Brand Central | New cars | Available models and prices |
| Used Cars | Pre-owned cars | Rotating stock and prices |
| Legend Cars | Special and classic cars | Availability and current prices |
The GT7 Update 1.69 notes provide examples of dealership additions and higher-level Menu Book requirements.
How GT7 Collector Level Relates to Your Collection
In Gran Turismo 7, Collector Points increase your Collector Level as you acquire cars. Check the GT7 manual for details on collection progression and level-based features.
Higher levels unlock additional progression features and collection-related Extra Menus. Your Credits are spendable currency, but Collector Points track your collection progress.
- Garage: Cars you currently own.
- Collection Book: Your collection records, separate from your current garage.
- Collector Level: Your progress based on collected cars.
Collector Level currently caps at 90. Extra Menus have individual Collector Level requirements, which vary by menu.
Seasonal Menus are limited-time challenges that ask players to collect specific cars for extra rewards. They become available after completing Cafe Menu Book No. 39, “Championship: World GT Series,” and watching the ending. Unlike regular Cafe Menu Books and Extra Menus, Seasonal Menus offer rotating collection objectives.
Buy for the Next Task Before Buying for Completion
Buy cars that meet your current Cafe Menu Book or event requirements before spending Credits on expensive collectables. Look up the setup costs too, as upgrades can make a car more expensive than its listed price.
Use Brand Central, Used Cars or Legend Cars to compare options. Dive into the GT7 Legend Cars dealership to learn more about buying cars from the dealership.
Do not assume two variants are interchangeable, and keep duplicates if they serve different racing or tuning purposes. Check current prices before selling; don’t think you will reacquire a car at the same price or on a fixed date.
Confirm the Car Is Owned and the Objective Advances
After buying or claiming a car, check that it appears in your Garage and meets the objective’s exact requirements.
- Check the model: Confirm the correct car and variant.
- Check the cost: Review the price and any upgrade costs before buying.
- Claim or purchase it: Follow the available acquisition method.
- Verify ownership: Find the car in your Garage.
- Check progress: Return to the Cafe Menu Book or collection objective and confirm it advances.
If progress does not change, review whether the task requires a specific variant, current ownership or a collection of different cars. Do not buy another copy until you confirm what is missing. Extra Menus have specific Collector Level and progression requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can prize cars increase Collector Level?

Is a car’s old dealership price guaranteed today?
No. Check the current dealership price and stock before buying, as prices and availability can change.
Does a completed Collection Book entry mean the car is still in the Garage?
No. Check your Garage to confirm current ownership, then review the menu’s exact requirements.
