No shop listing. No trading it in for gems. This car comes from a 5-stage NPC questline, and it's gated by grind, repair, collection, and pure RNG.
We ran the full chain ourselves. 6–9 hours total, depending on auction luck. Here's the breakdown, stripped of anything you don't need.

- Quest Requirements at a Glance
- Step 1: Farm 15,000 Money First
- Step 2: Talk to the NPC
- Step 3: Repair the 3 Broken Items
- Step 4: Grind the 12 Limited Event Items
- Step 5: Hunt the Car at Auction
- FAQ
- How long does the full questline actually take?
- What's the fastest way to hit 15,000 money?
- Do broken prehistoric items count toward the quest?
- Does the car's auction spawn rate increase over time?
- Is the Prehistoric Car permanent after unlocking?
- Run the Order, Don't Skip Ahead

↖ Quest Requirements at a Glance
| Stage | Requirement | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 15,000 money | Entry fee to unlock the quest dialogue |
| 2 | 3 broken prehistoric items | Loot drop, random |
| 3 | Repair all 3 | Broken = worthless until fixed |
| 4 | 12 limited event items | Biggest time sink, 60-70% of total grind |
| 5 | Find the car at auction | Low spawn rate, patience-only |
Skip a stage, the quest stalls. No shortcuts, no buying your way through.
↖ Step 1: Farm 15,000 Money First
This is the entry fee. No money, no NPC dialogue trigger.
Fastest method: run storage units back-to-back. Average payout per unit: 400–900 money.
Play off-peak. Less competition for units = fewer wasted runs. Cuts farm time nearly in half versus peak hours.
↖ Step 2: Talk to the NPC
Hit 15,000, go trigger the quest. This is the actual start line — nothing before this counts.
↖ Step 3: Repair the 3 Broken Items
Broken items drop randomly from storage loot. Handing in broken items does nothing. They need repairing first.
Don't stockpile them. Repair each one the moment you find it — sitting on dead inventory just slows you down.
↖ Step 4: Grind the 12 Limited Event Items
No trick here. Just volume. This stage eats most of your grind time.
Treat it as background progress. Loot normally, let the count climb while you do other things in-game. Forcing it doesn't speed it up.
↖ Step 5: Hunt the Car at Auction
Spawn rate is low — roughly 1 in 15-20 refreshes in our testing.
Don't camp the auction screen. Check every refresh cycle over a day or two instead. Same odds, way less wasted time staring at a menu.
↖ FAQ
↖ How long does the full questline actually take?
Expect 6–9 hours of active playtime across money farming, repairs, item collection, and auction checks.
↖ What's the fastest way to hit 15,000 money?
Run storage units during low-population hours. Less competition means more units cleared per session.
↖ Do broken prehistoric items count toward the quest?
No. They must be repaired first. Turning in broken versions does nothing.
↖ Does the car's auction spawn rate increase over time?
No noticeable increase observed. Assume flat odds and space out your check-ins.
↖ Is the Prehistoric Car permanent after unlocking?
Yes. Once earned, it stays in your inventory even after the event ends.
↖ Run the Order, Don't Skip Ahead
Save the money first. Trigger the NPC. Repair items immediately, not later. Chip away at the 12 items during normal play. Only start checking auctions once everything else is locked.
Jump to the auction step early and you're just wasting checks — the car won't register until the rest of the chain is done. Follow the order, eat the RNG wait, and the car is yours for good.
