Stealing Your Way to Style: A Totally Legit Guide to Buying Cars in GTA 5 (PS3)
Ah, Los Santos. The land of opportunity, questionable fashion choices, and enough car dealerships to make your head spin. But let's face it, who wants to spend all their ill-gotten gains on a measly little sedan when there's a Bugatti with your name on it screaming "look at me!" out the window?
This guide, my friends, is for the refined gentleman (or gentlewoman) with a taste for the finer things in life, and by "finer things" I mean, of course, the sweet rumble of a stolen supercar. So, ditch the boring bank loans and dusty insurance forms, because we're about to become connoisseurs of the fine art of...ahem..."acquisition."
Step 1: Embrace Your Inner Entrepreneur (or Petty Thief)
QuickTip: Skim first, then reread for depth.
Look, let's not sugarcoat it. You're not exactly strolling into a dealership with a bouquet of flowers for your new ride. Instead, you're going to need to unleash your inner entrepreneur (with a dash of larceny on the side). Think of it as a business venture - one with a high ROI (Return On Investment...in joyrides).
Capitalizing on the Free Market (with a Crowbar)
QuickTip: Pause at lists — they often summarize.
There's a whole world of beautiful vehicles just begging to be "borrowed" out there on the streets of Los Santos. A shiny Banshee here, a sleek Adder there - the possibilities are endless! The key is to be resourceful. Remember, a car left unattended is practically a gift with a blinking red bow. Just be sure to choose your "donors" wisely. You wouldn't want to upset some psycho ex-military dude with a minigun strapped to his trunk, would you?
Step 2: Los Santos Customs: Your One-Stop Shop for Hot Rides (and Laundering Evidence)
Tip: Don’t just glance — focus.
Once you've secured your "investment," it's time to make it official (-ish). Los Santos Customs is your partner in crime... er, I mean, business. This is where you can ditch the pesky "stolen" label on your new ride and turn it into a legitimate (looking) member of your garage family. A quick spray paint job, some fancy rims, and voila! Suddenly, that beat-up Felon you relieved a gangbanger of looks positively showroom-worthy.

Pro Tip: Don't skimp on the bulletproof windows. Trust me, you'll thank yourself later.
Tip: Reread slowly for better memory.
Step 3: The Art of the Disappearing Act (Optional, But Highly Recommended)
Look, there might be a chance (a very small chance) that the previous owner might not appreciate your "borrowing" their wheels. In these rare instances, it's best to employ a strategic vanishing act. Those handy storm drains scattered around the city are excellent for, ahem, "disposing" of any unwanted attention. Just remember, what they don't see, can't hurt them (or you).
Step 4: Revel in Your Automotive Glory (and Maybe Lay Low for a While)
Congratulations! You're now the proud owner of a (questionably obtained) whip that's sure to turn heads (and possibly get you into cop chases). Cruise the streets, impress your friends (or outrun them), and enjoy the sweet satisfaction of a job well done. Just remember, maybe lay low for a bit until the heat dies down. You wouldn't want to attract too much unwanted attention to your...unique business model, would you?
