i just got the game today 6pm and now i have the suzuki weak car needed for the class c races, golf gti, and nissan gt-r, also had the alpha romeo as first car but sold once i didn't need.
the easiest way to get money is this. start with alpha romeo. once you completed 1st place in all the races in c class you can do the first race (circular one) over and over in the romeo. once you have enough buy yourself an m3 or gt-r whatever and use that car on the same race. keep doing this until you get $$ for whateer you need.
right now i only got 2 more races in c class with everything being 1st place
