Wreck sold by mistake, what now?

In the internet forum Reddit, however, the first embarrassments have now surfaced: At the car dealers in Need for Speed Payback, you can not only buy new horsepower-slingers, you can also flog your existing carts.

This makes sense if you want to buy one of the expensive noble sports cars. But it can quickly go to shit if you accidentally turn the painstakingly assembled wreck into cash.

But don't panic, a sold Chevrolet Bel Air 1955, Ford Mustang 1965, NISSAN Fairlady ZG 1971, Chevrolet C10 Stepside Pickup 1965 or VW Beetle 1963 is not automatically lost forever in Need for Speed Payback.

After that, you can get back to tuning in Need for Speed Payback.
