When in the Autoshow, you’ll then get a massive list of all cars you can buy. They’re listed in alphabetical order by their manufacturer, so Acura and Alpine are first, with Volkswagen and Zenvo at the very end.

Select the car you want to purchase and press A, then select the livery or paint style you want from the ‘Recommended Designs’ screen that appears. If you don’t want a recommended design, just press Y to access the base color options for the vehicle.

You can either choose to hop into it immediately, or you can send it to your garage for later on.
