- "Here you'll find a great selection of the hottest cars available. You might just find that one car you've always been looking for!"
- ―In-game description
The Online Collector's Dealership (usually referred to as OCD, informally known as Online Cars Dealership by the community, and known as Hot Car Dealer (ホットカーディーラー) in the Japanese version) was an exclusively online dealership similar to the Used Car Dealership introduced in Gran Turismo 5 version 1.05, with the difference that it always had the same selection until Polyphony Digital updated it. Updates occurred on biweekly basis, each other Thursday at 3:00 AM GMT.
The OCD beared a resemblance to the UCD (Used Car Dealership), except cars were determined by Polyphony Digital. Like the UCD, the OCD sells only Standard Cars; however because car choices were determined by server (usually by demand or by then-currently running Seasonal Events), rarer Standard cars could be obtained easily. Occasionally, standard versions of premium cars, originally only available from GT PSP garage import feature for use in Arcade Mode, such as the Ferrari F2007, are also available for use in any other modes, once the car is purchased. This has happened on the following instances:
- August 16-30, 2012: TVR Tamora '02 and TVR Tuscan Speed 6 '00
- September 13-27, 2012: Chevrolet Camaro Z28 302 '69 and Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Coupe '54
- November 22-December 6, 2012: Lotus Esprit V8 '02 and Lotus Elise 111R '04
- August 29-September 12, 2013: Enzo Ferrari '02 and Ferrari F2007
- January 30-February 13, 2014: Enzo Ferrari '02
- March 13-27, 2014: Enzo Ferrari '02 and Ferrari F2007
As GT5's servers has been shutdown in 2014, the feature is no longer accessible.
