    How to unlock Penniless

    Your gonna save yourself a lot of grief if you go for this trophy before you do anything else in GT Mode. If you haven't done anything, follow these two steps to get this trophy:

    Dealerships -> Mazda -> Eunos Roadster J-Limited (NA) '91 - 19,000
    Tuning Shop -> Engine -> Sports ECU - 1,000

    This will use up all your credits. Go back to the GT Life main menu for the trophy to unlock. Thanks to Scary Paladin for the tip about the car.

    If you don't get this trophy at first, there are a few alternate methods:

    Alternate Method 1:
    You have to buy used cars and winning races to make sure your Credits get back to a round number. Generally, buy used cars until your credits can be divided by 10. Win races until your credits can be divided by 50 or 100. If by 50, wash your car. When you can divide it by 100, buy tuning parts and or new cars from the dealership that has round numbers until you hit 0.

    Alternate Method 2:
    The money cap in this game is on Cr. 20 Million, and that is also the prize of the most expensive cars in the game. Reach the cap, and then either buy the Ford Mark IV or the Ferrari P4. If you don't want to get these cars, either by a combination of cars or you could use alternate method 3.

    Alternate Method 3:
    Take a back-up of your save to a USB Memory device or a USB External HDD. Then Delete the save on your PS3 and buy 4 PDI Racing Karts from the Gran Turismo dealership. When you have unlocked the trophy, restore your main save by going to the Memory Card and copy it back on to the PS3. If you're far into the game, be careful not to mess up this process.

  • The bet way to get this one , is when u reach 20M credits ur not allowed to keep saving more , buy a 20M credits car.
  • Good to know, thanks :)
  • when i first tried the game, i looked through the trophies and aimed at penniless, so i shopped around, and actually; the EK Civic is bang-n 20 grand, so instant trophy :)
  • Thank you for method 3 I was about 2.5 mil and didn't want to go to 20 mil just for this trophy.
  • If you have access to a friend's PS3, you can start a new game on another PS3 and spend all 20000 credits without risking your save file.
  • You can also buy 4 go-karts at the start of GT mode for 5,000 credits each at the Gran Turismo dealership.
