Neal's Cars is free, it has been for some time now. You cannot purchase it because the subscription model is not being used anymore.
However, all old platforms, like Desktop, Windows Phone and Windows Store, are not being supported, only the web version is in use. If you want to continue using Neal's Cars you will need to migrate to the web version.
All "old platform" users of Neal's Cars will need to create an account on the Neal's Cars website in order to continue to use their account going forward. The Desktop, Windows Phone and Windows Store versions are obsolete and unsupported, the last build of those platforms was 8/23/2015.

This account expiration is an attempt to migrate those existing users to the current web version to gain access to updated features and capabilities, like Service Intervals and vehicle images. This also attempts to mitigate possible data security issues presented by the Desktop version.
If your account shows that it has expired, then perform the following steps to get an account setup on the web version, free of charge.

If you really, really, really need to use an older, unsupported, platform version, please contact me with your reason and I will consider reinstating it for a short time. You must be very persuasive in order for this to happen.
