Forza Horizon 6 Aftermarket Car Locations and How They Work

Forza Horizon 6 Aftermarket Car Locations and How They Work

Aftermarket Cars are fixed roadside sellers scattered across Forza Horizon 6's Japan map, offering discounted vehicles that often arrive pre-tuned, pre-upgraded, or wearing custom liveries. Each spot has its own car pool tied to the surrounding event type, and a handful of locations are reliable sources for rare Forza Edition models.

🏁
Quick answer: Aftermarket Cars appear at set locations marked by a green car icon on the map. The vehicle on offer rotates, but the pool is fixed per spot. Daikoku Parking can roll the Mazda RX-3 FE, Sotoyama Ski Resort can roll the Subaru BRZ FE, and the Ohtani Drag Strip can roll the Mazda MX-5 FE.

How Aftermarket Cars work

Each Aftermarket spot draws from a fixed pool of vehicles that fits the surrounding event type. A drag strip leans toward straight-line cars, a cross-country circuit favors off-road builds, and an urban car meet stocks street and tuner models. The specific car on display changes over time or after you buy the one currently parked there, and a new car from the same pool replaces it once you leave and return.

Prices come in below Autoshow values, and many cars carry pre-installed upgrades aimed at a discipline like drifting, road racing, or off-road. Forza Edition cars can appear at certain spots and bring their own gameplay perks on top of the discount.

When you drive in a convoy, the Aftermarket inventory is pulled from the convoy leader's progression rather than your own, which can surface cars you have not yet unlocked.

The Daikoku Parking Lot sits on the island south of Tokyo City and operates as a car meet. It's the most consistent location for rolling the 1973 Mazda RX-3 Forza Edition.

The Sotoyama Ski Resort, near the Snow Forest Cross Country Circuit in the north, is the go-to spot for the 2022 Subaru BRZ Forza Edition. Progressing far enough to unlock the surrounding cross country events makes Aftermarket spawns reliable here.

The Horizon Festival Drag Strip in Ohtani, tied to the Festival Kilometer Drag Meet, regularly rotates the 1994 Mazda MX-5 Miata Forza Edition into its pool.

Motoki Auto Garage sits west of Shimanoyama on the road northeast of the stadium. Its pool skews higher-end and can include the Ferrari SF90 Stradale and Jaguar XJ220S TWR, which makes it worth a periodic flyby if you are hunting deals on expensive metal.

How to reliably re-roll a Forza Edition spawn

Step 1: Drive to the target Aftermarket location and check the car on display. If it is the Forza Edition you want, buy it.

Step 2: If a different car is parked there, purchase it anyway to clear the slot, or fast travel away and return after some in-world time has passed. Restarting the game also resets the seller and forces a new roll from the same pool.

Step 3: Repeat until the FE variant appears. Because each location has a closed pool, the rare car will eventually cycle back.

💡
Tip: Aftermarket Cars require the correct Wristband tier to appear, so progress the Festival Playlist if a spot looks empty on your map.

Finding spots on the map

Active Aftermarket sellers show up as a green car icon on the minimap and the world map. You can set a waypoint to one directly, and several locations cluster near festival sites and drag meets, which makes batching visits efficient. Keep in mind that pins only appear once you have the right Wristband progression to unlock the surrounding events.

If a spot looks empty, push further into the Horizon Festival progression and revisit. The system is generous once unlocked, and the discounted prices combined with free upgrades make Aftermarket the fastest way to flesh out a garage without burning Wheelspins or auction credits.
