Everytime I try to modify or upgrade a car or even change vanity items or neon it keeps saying purchased failed or nothing depending on the upgrade or change. Unequips whatever I picked. And can't customize anything anymore. I'm on xbox series x. I've already uninstalled and reinstalled the game twice. Nothing. Still can't change anything. Weirdly I can change my characters clothes. Someone help.

Hey @Masterracer1998 @GattoPazz0
To check do you have a large collection of cars (online or offline) when this error started happening?
Also to check, do you get an other error message, or run into issues connecting to online lobbies?
Thanks!

I've got 32 cars in story mode garage, and 38 cars in online garage. Before the problem started I almost abandoned story mode. I don't think I have problems with online lobbies, apart that a few times happened to see a rival car teleporting. I have issues saving my badge after editing, and the stickers I use never show up. Another issue is that the wraps on the right side of two cars (those two always and only) don't show up.

Are you getting an error message? "Acquisto fallito" ( it's the italian for "Purchase failed") each time I try to buy something new for a specific car. If I install items that I already own, the setup reverts back just when I exit the customization menu.
Which modes does this happen in? Online
Does this happen to any other account on the device? I can't say, this the only device I play with
How long are you playing until this happens? 120+ hours
Are you playing from the device's internal storage or an external drive? Internal SSD
What type of network are you using? (Wired, Wireless, Hotspot) Wired
Is anything else happening? I have issues with player badge stickers (they don't show) and car wraps (sometimes only the right side of the selected car reverts to normal colour). Ea client can't remember my login (starting it from Steam client works fine)
Please share any steps you've tried to far to resolve the issue:

If on PC, please share a DxDiag and an EA app Error ID- 2 years ago@GattoPazz0 I just noticed that I'm not able to change anything on my banner as well.

Hi @K-Dawg41199, To confirm you get the error message "Purchase Failed" when trying to load into an online lobby?- 2 years ago
I’m getting the purchased failed for new cars in both single player and multiplayer.

The only reason why this is happening because you have too many cars purchased inside your garage slots. It’s probably capped out in the game can’t registry it. That’s why the game keeps on crashing.

my only response to that would be that the amount of cars owned by the above stated complaints have different amounts among them, so it couldnt be a hard cap in came.

Hi guys,
Recently got an Xbox S and been really enjoying it but since about 3 days ago I get a "Purchase Failed" message whenever I try to buy a new car. I've got about 52 cars currently, but on my PC account I had over 100 so the number of cars shouldn't be the problem I feel. I can buy parts/ new engines/ body kits and whatnot, its just new cars that I can't buy. On the PC I could use Steam to "verify" and repair my game, but I don't know if I can do something similar on Xbox. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I have a question about the value 0 cars. I'd love to test it out, but you'll need a lot of credits (the Mc Laren F1 alone costs over 1 million) to get the cars back (assuming it works). Did you get them all back?

I come back to this game every now and then to see if the bug has been patched. each time it hasn't. Here's everything i can tell you:
This problem started for me a while back, I don't know the specific day. I was messing with modding the game using frosty mod manager, as everyone does. I did so successfully and from what I could see, without damaging the game. I didn't mess with any game files or mess with the game itself in a way that would harm it. Everything was working fine and was running smoothly when I was finished playing. Btw, I had successfully purchased vehicles while playing a modded version of the game. The next day I loaded the [vanilla] game back up and played for a bit before deciding to buy a new car, the bugatti. I went to purchase it and got a purchase failed message. After a few more attempts of trying to buy the bugatti, I kept getting the same message: "Purchase Failed" with the only option being "Yes." (as shown in other screenshots posted on this wall, and in one provided on this post). I tried buying the cheapest car, being the chevy c10 after failing to buy the bugatti. "Purchase Failed". I looked the internet for answers and could not find any. Now I just check back on the game every few weeks to months hoping it is fixed, and being dissapointed everytime. I do not play this game anymore and probably will continue to not do so until this game is fixed. Mind you, I have 22 cars in story and 9 in online. Let me know if you have any questions.
- 2 years ago@R0L3X I’ve been having this problem for a month and a half now, and it also started after the Unite mod (as they write to me, but I don’t think so), when I was jumping between online and story mode and the vanilla version.
This started in story mode after I lost the connection, when the game stopped counting the money I earned and started throwing me offline
But in addition to the error about an unsuccessful purchase, I get a lobby error when logging in online. The game also stopped loading quickly from the M2 SSD; once it did it in 5-7 seconds, now it takes 1-2 minutes. So I think it's some part of the server that can't quickly read saves or something like that. Since this problem is not only on PC, but also on PS5 and Xbox (and there is no mod like Unite)
I think that the mod has nothing to do with it, I’m now playing online with it again, since the vanilla graphics are simply terrible. I can’t buy a car, but judging by the playlists, the only one left is Subaru
