With over 700 cars available at your disposal in FH5, you are unlikely to find them all worth keeping. If your garage is way too cluttered with unnecessary wheels, the game now allows you to gift them out to others.
But what if you wanna gift them to a friend? Is that possible as well?
Currently, you cannot gift cars to a friend or any specific Forza Horizon 5 player because it can affect the game’s overall experience for everyone. For now, FH5 only allows you to gift your cars to random players who may or may not benefit from it.
Although, there’s an interesting caveat to this option. While you cannot pamper your chums with hot wheels, you certainly can choose the group of people you want to give your car away to.
These are the options that will be available to you for making a donation:
- Anyone: A completely random fellow FH5 player will get the car.
- New Players: Any random gamer booting FH5 for the first time will get the car.
- Returning Players: Given randomly to any player who is coming back to the Mexican tracks after a long time.
- New Hall of Fame Member: Given randomly to recently crowned members of FH5 Hall of Fame.
- Community Contributors: Given randomly to a player who has contributed to the game by adding tracks, tunes, customizations, races, and other fun content!
Now that you know who can receive your vehicle, the next step for you is gifting your car.
Open the Main Menu and head over to the “My Horizon” tab to gift cars in Forza Horizon 5. Next, select the Gift Drop and pick the car you’d like to drop from your garage. Once done, choose the category of gamers, a greeting text and take a stance on anonymity.
This is the easiest, most effortless way of gifting cars in Forza Horizon 5 but isn’t the only one. Barn Finds can also be used to donate cars to fellow racing enthusiasts.
How to gift cars in Forza Horizon 5 through Barn Finds?
For the unaware, through ‘Barn Finds,’ FH5 offers players an option to explore and obtain several iconic collectible cars hidden inside barns throughout the game’s vast map.
There are 14 Barn Finds locations in Forza Horizon 5. Players can interact with 11 of these barns at any time. Still, they can only unlock the rest three collectibles by completing the side-objectives in three early-game Apex, Wilds, and Baja Expeditions.
Head over to any one of the Barn Find locations. After a cutscene plays, you will get the option of pressing the interact button to make a gift drop.
Follow the same steps mentioned above from here, and you’ll be able to gift a motor you no longer need.
On top of this, if you’re lucky enough, you can end up being on the receiving side of this gifting feature as well. After all, you won’t be feeling philanthropic everyday and will want to be the subject of someone’s generosity too.
How does receiving gifts work in Forza Horizon 5?
Firstly, you will need to be chosen by the gift sender. Since the entire procedure is random, you may or may not get the present. If you do, Forza Horizon 5 will notify you at that very moment and then, you can claim it from the Message Center.
On the other hand, Barn Find gifts will make you go to that particular location to get the present.
In both cases, the sender will get a notification whenever you open the gift.
While gifting cars is a highly charitable deed that lets you clear up garage space, it is not enough to help you become the best racer Mexican roads have ever seen. For that to happen, it is important you sell cars as well.
Putting vehicles up for sale can help you accrue some much-needed credit that can be used to buy more cars, houses, and cosmetics.
How to sell cars in Forza Horizon 5?
Go to the festival site or the house to sell a car in Forza Horizon 5. Access the ‘Main Menu’ and select the ‘Buy and Sell vehicles’ tab. Next, enter the ‘Auction House’ and click on ‘Start Auction.’ Finally, select the car you wanna sell and press ‘Auction Car.’
In addition, you will also have to decide on the starting price for bidding or buyout along with the auction’s length from anything between one hour, three hours, six hours, 12 hours, or 24 hours. After you have attached a value to your vehicle, it will be up for sale.
Note: Buyout implies that as soon as a gamer meets the seller’s asking price, they can purchase the listed vehicle immediately. You won’t have to go on a bidding war with other prospective buyers in an auction.
