If you are please let us know the following:
- Platform: XBOX Series X
- PSN ID/Gamertag: XBOX Gamertag WFPK Wolfi
- Which modes does this happen in? Online + Offline
- What was the last action you took before the error? (purchased a car, played a race, etc)
On February 24th, 2024 I was able to buy the unlocked Mercedes Maybach and the BMW M2 2023 in game.
Then I bought and installed all the DLCs and on February 25th, 2024 I finally met all the requirements to buy the DMC DeLorean and the Porsche Taycan. However, I can't buy both cars. Every time I get the error message: “Purchase failed”.
I then tried this with any other car, whether online or offline. The result is always the same: “PURCHASE FAILED”.
I've already completely uninstalled and reinstalled the game and all DLC's, without success.
If possible, share a Screenshot or Clip... There are 3 photos as attachment - If on PC, please share a DxDiag and an EA app Error ID
Hey there,
There is a limit of 200 cars between both Story mode and Online. That's what is triggering the purchased failed error. To be able to buy more cars you'll have to sell some offline.

Why can't you just set the limit higher?
Shouldn't that be the problem in 2024?
Or you no longer separate the garages so that all offline vehicles are also available online or vice versa (probably more useful because of the activation playlists).
Obviously many players have this error.
Does that mean I now have to sell my painted and tuned cars offline so that I can then buy them online?
That can't be the solution!
It can't be that I laboriously earn 175 cars offline, paint them and invest a lot of credits for tuning so that I now have to sell them all again to have space in the online garage.
It should actually be possible to increase the limit to at least 500 cars.
Other game manufacturers like Forza Mototorsport, Forza Horizon, The Crew and Gran Turismo also get it.
It would be nice if there was an update in this regard as soon as possible, in which the missing tick/cross would be added so that you can see which cars you have already bought.
This shouldn't be that difficult to implement

There are a total of 216 cars in the game. As a collector and perfectionist you reach your limits here.
I generally always like to have all the cars available in a game.
What kind of racing game is this and what kind of logic?
Well, offline probably won't be an issue anymore, but it's still a shame about the beautiful collection.
Above all, there has to be space for more than 200 cars, because, strangely enough, the Audis that you didn't have to buy are in the offline and also in the online garage.
And at that point I had already the mistake that I couldn't buy any more cars.
I have 175 cars offline and another 59 cars in the garage online.
Makes a total of 234 cars. So something is wrong here with the statement: Limit 200 cars.

The Vol. 7 game update has been released, I still have the lobby creation error FTCL 5001, and I can’t buy a car...
despite the fact that my friends are doing great, they even have twice as many cars as me - 9 months ago
And now the problem is, how can I complete this task now that I can’t buy a car? I need a Honda, but I can't buy it

To check do you know about how many cars you have in SP and MP?

The other day I updated the game to vol 7, and after that I can’t buy a single car, not in a single game, not online, it says a "purchase failed", everything is fine with the save, I’m playing on a PC, help me solve the problem, I haven’t tried anything.
P.S. there are 110 cars online, 70 in a single game, I know that there can be a maximum of 200 carsI play on PC, Steam

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to report a bug I encountered in Need for Speed Unbound. While attempting to purchase a car within the game, the purchase failed, and I was unable to complete the purchase. Below are the details of the issue:
- Game Version: current season and season 6 I have encountered this bug
- Platform: Pc Steam/Ea
- Any car within the online multiplier
- story mode is not affected by this bug

Try this:
Back the game up using Steam back up.
Then uninstall it
Delete the Excalibur folder if it's still there
Delete the NFS Unbound folder in MyDocuments.***** Make sure to keep a copy of your save file, just in case.
Once done, do this:
Restore game from back up
run it and wait for EA App to finish doing whatever it does.
Once back in game, hopfully you can buy cars again.
This is a quicker way of reinstalling the game as it circumvents having to redownload ~35gb of game files, so long as you have 35gb of space spare.

So you decided to connect the story mode in terms of car limit, yet you dont let us transfer our cars between online and offline like in heat? Furthermore theres 152 cars before custom cars and DLC cars. I must say, very poor execution on your part.
