Buckle Up, Buttercup: How to snag your dream ride in GTA 5 (PS4)
So, you're fresh off the plane in Los Santos, pockets jingling (or maybe not so much jingling), and the chrome-plated dream machines screaming down the street are whispering sweet nothings in your ear. But hold on there, slick, buying a car in GTA isn't exactly like picking up a pack of gum. It's a jungle out there, and this guide is your machete.
How To Buy A Car In GTA 5 Ps4 |
Step 1: You Gotta Have a Place to Park It, Baby (Unless You Like Sleeping with the Fishes)
Before you go all baller and snag a Bugatti that costs more than your apartment, you gotta have a garage. These come with most safehouses you buy, so check your real estate listings. Don't be that guy who pulls up to his mansion in a stolen Sanchez – it just screams "amateur."
Tip: Don’t skim — absorb.![]()
Pro Tip: Garages only hold a certain number of cars, so choose wisely. Don't be a hoarder, unless you hoard money. Then by all means, go nuts and buy every single garage in town.
Tip: Summarize each section in your own words.![]()
Step 2: The Interwebs are Your Friend (Mostly)
Alright, you've got a roof over your soon-to-be-extensive car collection. Now it's time to hit the digital streets. Pull out your trusty phone (because who carries a laptop in Los Santos?) and open the internet browser. Look for that fancy "Eyefind" icon – that's your ticket to car city.
QuickTip: Go back if you lost the thread.![]()
Welcome to the Mall of Cars: Browsing the Best (and Slightly Shady) Dealerships
Here's where things get interesting. Eyefind has a whole section for Travel and Transport, which basically translates to "temptation central." You'll find a bunch of websites selling cars, each with their own specialty:
Tip: Skim once, study twice.![]()
- Southern San Andreas Super Autos: These guys cater to the "want a decent car that won't break the bank" crowd. Good selection for everyday driving (and maybe the occasional getaway).
- Legendary Motorsport: If you've got a trust fund burning a hole in your pocket, this is your jam. Think Ferraris, Bugattis, the kind of cars that make pedestrians cry. Just remember, with great speed comes a great big price tag.
- Warstock Cache & Carry: More into the "shoot first, ask questions later" lifestyle? Warstock has tanks, weaponized jeeps, the whole nine yards. Disclaimer: These aren't exactly inconspicuous. Cruise around in a tank and prepare for unwanted attention (from the cops, that is).
- Benny's Original Motor Works: This place is all about customization. Got a beat-up old beater you love? Benny's can turn it into a fire-breathing monster (or at least give it a sweet paint job).
Pro Tip: Don't just jump on the most expensive car. Read the descriptions, take those test drives (responsibly, please), and find something that suits your style (and bank account).
Step 3: You Click, You Pay, You Ride (Hopefully)
Once you've found your automotive soulmate, it's buying time! Click that "purchase" button and watch your hard-earned cash disappear. Don't forget to choose which garage you want your new baby delivered to. You wouldn't want to leave it parked on the street – Los Santos isn't exactly known for its respect for personal property.
And there you have it! You're now the proud owner of a sweet new ride. Just remember, driving responsibly is highly overrated in GTA. But hey, at least you'll look good doing whatever it is you do.
