Buying and selling cars in GTA 5 on the Grand Role Play server can be a challenge for beginners. This guide will help you understand how to choose, buy, sell, and insure your car, as well as provide useful tips on tuning and safety.
How to Avoid Overpaying for a Car
One of the common mistakes beginners make is buying a car directly from a dealership. Despite the appeal, dealerships offer cars at full price without any additional tuning. To save money, it is recommended to first select a model in the dealership, remember its name, and then look for the same car at a car market. This will allow you to buy the car at a better price, often with tuning already installed, and avoid long delivery times.
Car Insurance and License Plates
After buying a car, it is essential to register it with license plates and insure it. This is important to protect against theft and to avoid problems with the police. Insurance and license plates can be arranged at the SAHP office or via a special bot located there.
Tuning Your Car in GTA 5 Grand Role Play
Tuning allows you to improve both the appearance and performance of your car.
Exterior Tuning
This includes changing bumpers, installing lights, tints, paint jobs, and other visual upgrades. These modifications don’t affect speed but make your car stand out.
Chip Tuning
This technical upgrade improves your car’s performance. Upgrading the engine, gearbox, and suspension can significantly boost maximum speed and acceleration. On average, full chip tuning costs around 1.5 times the car’s price.
Selling Your Car in GTA 5 Grand Role Play
When you no longer need a car, there are several ways to sell it:
- Through LifeInvader: You can post a sale ad, find a buyer, and transfer the car through the interaction menu.
- At the car market: The car market is a safe way to sell your car where many buyers can be found.
- Selling to the state: If you can’t find a buyer, you can sell the car to the state through the interaction menu, though you’ll only receive 10% of the car’s value.
Safety Tips
- Don’t leave your car in random places. Police officers may tow it away.
- Drive carefully. Frequent crashes can lead to more breakdowns and increased fuel costs. Additionally, your driving skills and maximum speed may decrease.
These tips will help you avoid common mistakes when buying, selling, and using cars in GTA 5 Grand Role Play, while saving time and money.
