Want to make some fast cash in Grand Theft Auto 5 story mode? Selling cars is a surprisingly efficient and straightforward way to boost your in-game wallet. While Los Santos offers numerous avenues for earning money, few are as readily accessible and consistently profitable as the illicit car trade. This guide will walk you through every step of how to sell cars in GTA 5 story mode, turning stolen rides into cold, hard cash.
Finding a Ride to Sell (or Steal!)
The first order of business is acquiring a vehicle to sell. While you technically could purchase a car and then attempt to resell it, the more lucrative and GTA-appropriate method is to liberate a vehicle from its current owner. Given the game’s criminal nature, “borrowing” a car without permission is not only acceptable but practically encouraged.
For maximum profit, target vehicles that exude luxury and speed. Think high-end sports cars and premium sedans – the kinds of vehicles you’d expect to see cruising through Rockford Hills. These will fetch you a much higher price at your selling destination compared to economy cars. Keep an eye out for these prized rides as you explore the city.
Locating Los Santos Customs: Your Selling Point
Once you’ve acquired your desired vehicle, you need to find a buyer. In GTA 5 story mode, your go-to destination for selling cars is Los Santos Customs. These garages are scattered throughout the map and are easily identifiable by their spray can icon. Pull up your map, locate the nearest spray can, and set your GPS.
Drive your stolen (or borrowed) vehicle to Los Santos Customs. Upon arrival, carefully drive into the open garage bay. This will trigger the modification menu, but your goal is to sell, not customize (unless you want to, of course!).
Selling Your Car Step-by-Step
Inside Los Santos Customs, you’ll see a range of options related to vehicle modification. However, to sell your car, you’ll need to navigate to the bottom of the menu. Look for the “Sell” option and select it.
Upon selecting “Sell,” the game will display the amount of money Los Santos Customs is willing to pay for your current vehicle. The price will vary depending on the type and condition of the car. Accept the offer to finalize the sale and watch the cash get added to your character’s account.
Rinse and Repeat for Maximum Profit
Congratulations, you’ve successfully sold a car in GTA 5 story mode! The process is remarkably simple and can be repeated as often as you like. To maximize your earnings, continue to “acquire” high-value vehicles, deliver them to Los Santos Customs, and sell them for a quick and easy profit. With a bit of dedication, you’ll be swimming in GTA dollars in no time.
