How Aftermarket Cars Work in Forza Horizon 6 (Spawns and Buying)

How Aftermarket Cars Work in Forza Horizon 6 (Spawns and Buying)

Aftermarket Cars are a collectible vehicle type in Forza Horizon 6 that show up as green map icons marked with a car symbol and the letters "CR." Unlike Barn Finds or Treasure Cars, they are not fixed rewards. Each one is a randomly selected vehicle, either stock or already tuned, offered for purchase at a price below its Autoshow cost.

🚗
Quick answer: Drive near a green "CR" icon to make an Aftermarket Car appear, press Interact to inspect it, then buy it at a discount. The offer is temporary and the car may be gone if you leave and come back, so purchase it while it is on screen.

How Aftermarket Cars spawn in Forza Horizon 6

Aftermarket Cars draw from a rotating pool tied to your collection and your current progression. As you complete main Horizon events and earn more colored wristbands, more spawn points become active across the map of Japan.

The vehicles tend to cluster in urban areas, around circuits, and near racing events. A spot is not locked to one car. The vehicle on display can change over time, and it always changes after you buy whatever is parked there. Return to the same location later and a different car can occupy it.

Because each car is individually tuned, you may find builds aimed at Road Racing, Drifting, or other styles, and Forza Edition cars can appear as well. The icons only become visible once you drive close enough, so a spot can look empty until you are nearly on top of it.


How to find and buy Aftermarket Cars

Step 1: Drive toward a green "CR" car icon on the map. The car only renders once you are near, so close the distance before deciding it is empty.

Step 2: Pull up to the vehicle and press the Interact button to open its details. You can read the stats and start a free two-minute Test Drive to feel how it handles before committing.

Step 3: Compare the discounted price against the cars already in your garage. If it fills a gap, confirm the purchase. The car is added to your collection once the transaction completes.

Aftermarket Cars are listed for sale only temporarily. Hesitating can mean the listing disappears, so buy quickly if you want the vehicle. Each purchase also awards five Discover Japan points toward new Stamps, which feeds into wider progress like Barn Finds and Houses.

Aftermarket Car spawn locations and wristband requirements

The following spots are known to host Aftermarket Car spawns across the regions of Japan. Some only activate after you reach a wristband tier, and Legend Island requires you to discover all of its roads first.

Notable Aftermarket Car spots worth checking

A handful of locations stand out because of the quality of cars they tend to produce. These are the spots to revisit regularly if you are hunting specific vehicles.

  • Daikoku Parking Lot (Tokyo City): Often shows the Mazda RX-3 Forza Edition. It sits on the island south of Tokyo City.
  • Sotoyama Ski Resort (Sotoyama): Known for the Subaru BRZ Forza Edition, a strong off-road pick. Progress far enough to unlock the nearby events first.
  • Horizon Festival Drag Strip (Ohtani): A reliable spot for the Mazda MX-5 Forza Edition, one of the better drag options.
  • Motoki Auto Garage (Shimanoyama): Found on the road northeast of the stadium, this spot has produced high-end cars like the Ferrari SF90 Stradale and Jaguar XJ220S TWR.

Treat Aftermarket Cars as a steady, low-cost way to round out your garage rather than a checklist of fixed rewards. Keep an eye on the green "CR" icons as you roam, prioritize the standout spots like Daikoku and Motoki Auto Garage, and confirm the purchase quickly before the listing rotates out.
