So You Want Wheels in Los Santos? A Totally Unofficial Guide to Buying Cars in GTA 5
Ah, the open road. The wind in your hair (or helmet, if you're rocking a sweet motorcycle). The freedom to outrun the cops... well, for a little while at least. But before you can unleash your inner Dominic Toretto, you gotta get yourself a ride in Grand Theft Auto 5.
This guide, unlike your driving skills, is guaranteed to be smooth and reliable. Buckle up, gearheads, because we're about to take a joyride through the wonderful world of car buying in GTA 5.
Step 1: You Gotta Have a Place to Park It (Unless You Like Sleeping on the Sidewalk)
Let's be honest, stealing a car and leaving it abandoned on someone's lawn gets old fast. Especially when your neighbors start giving you the stink-eye. This is where garages come in. You can buy them scattered throughout Los Santos, with more spaces meaning more cars to hoard... ahem, I mean collect.
Tip: Keep the flow, don’t jump randomly.![]()
Pro Tip: Don't be a cheapskate. Those one-car garages fill up faster than a donut shop on National Donut Day.
Step 2: The Internet: It's Not Just for Cat Videos Anymore
Remember that clunky brick we used to call a phone? In GTA 5, it's your key to car-buying nirvana. Whip out your phone and open the internet browser (fancy, huh?). Here's where things get interesting.

Welcome to the Wonderful World of Car Websites:
- Southern San Andreas Super Autos: These guys have a little bit of everything, from muscle cars to sedans. Think of them as your one-stop shop for all things "reasonably priced" (air quotes fully intended).
- Legendary Motorsport: For those who crave the finer things in life (and by finer, we mean insanely expensive), Legendary Motorsport is your speed. Prepare to drop some serious cash on these high-performance beauties.
- Warstock Cache & Carry: Looking for a car that can double as a tank? Warstock has you covered. Here you'll find armored vehicles, weaponized wonders, and everything in between. Just remember, driving a weaponized vehicle through rush hour traffic might not be the best idea.
Step 3: Don't Just Buy with Your Eyes, Take it for a Spin!
Unlike some sketchy car dealerships we know (cough, cough, Downtown Los Santos), most websites in GTA 5 allow you to test drive a car before you buy it. This is your chance to see if it handles like a dream or steers like a drunken hippo.

Step 4: Delivery or Drive-Thru? You Decide!
Once you've found your perfect match, it's time to seal the deal. Choose where you want your new car delivered: your trusty garage or right to your feet (because who doesn't love a little curbside service?).
Congratulations! You're Now the Proud Owner of a New Ride
Tip: Don’t skip — flow matters.![]()
Now that you've got your dream car, it's time to hit the road and wreak... I mean, explore Los Santos in style! Just remember, with great cars comes great responsibility. So avoid those pesky wanted levels and enjoy the ride!
Bonus Tip: Keep an eye out for special events and promotions! Sometimes you can snag a rare or discounted car if you're in the right place at the right time.
Now you're all set to cruise the streets of Los Santos. Remember, drive safe (ish) and happy motoring!
