So You Want a New Ride in GTA 5 (Without Resorting to Grand Theft Auto)?
Let's face it, cruising the streets of Los Santos in a beat-up sedan is about as exciting as watching paint dry (unless it's a really high-quality paint with a surprising amount of texture, which, to be fair, could be interesting). You deserve a car that screams "success" (or at least "questionable financial decisions"). But fear not, friend! This guide will turn you from tricycle-riding chump to sultan of speed in no time.
How To Buy Cars In GTA 5 Single Player |
Step 1: Ditch the Flip Phone, Embrace the Internet (Duh)
Gone are the days of dodgy car salesmen hiding rust under a questionable wax job. Welcome to the age of online shopping! In GTA 5, your trusty smartphone is your ticket to a world of vehicular wonder. Just whip out your phone (because, let's be honest, you're probably glued to it anyway) and fire up the internet browser.
QuickTip: Stop and think when you learn something new.![]()
Warning: Don't accidentally try to order a pizza. Let's be real, after a certain number of double cheeseburgers, even a Lamborghini won't outrun your health problems.
QuickTip: Pause at transitions — they signal new ideas.![]()
Step 2: Pick Your Poison (Luxury or Landfill?)
Here's where things get exciting (or terrifying, depending on your bank account). You've got two main websites to choose from:
Tip: Look out for transitions like ‘however’ or ‘but’.![]()
- Legendary Motorsport: Home to the kind of cars that make hedge fund managers weep with joy (and possibly a touch of self-loathing). Think Ferraris that purr like angry kittens and Bugattis shaped like spaceships. Just remember, with great speed comes a great big price tag.
- Southern San Andreas Super Autos: These guys offer a more "balanced" selection (read: slightly less likely to bankrupt you). You'll find muscle cars, sports cars, and even a few luxury sedans that scream "midlife crisis" in the best way possible.
Pro Tip: Don't be afraid to window shop (virtually, of course). There's nothing wrong with drooling over a Bugatti Veyron before settling on something a little more...practical (like a car with cup holders that don't resemble clown shoes).
Tip: Read at your own pace, not too fast.![]()
Step 3: Click, Confirm, and Voila! (Well, Almost)
Once you've found your automotive soulmate, clicking "purchase" is as easy as, well, stealing candy from a baby (which we don't recommend, by the way). Just choose a color (because who wants to be stuck with a bright pink Lamborghini, amirite?) and a garage to deliver it to.
Important Note: Make sure you have a spare garage slot! Leaving your shiny new ride on the street is a surefire way to find it replaced with a rusty old tractor (hey, free tractor?).
Step 4: Show Off Your New Wheels (Responsibly, Maybe)
Now that you're the proud owner of a magnificent machine, it's time to hit the streets! But a word to the wise: avoid high speeds and sharp corners, especially if your driving skills resemble those of a drunken sloth. There's a fine line between looking cool and looking like you just borrowed your grandpa's mobility scooter.
Congratulations! You've successfully purchased a car in GTA 5 (the legal way, that is). Now go forth and cruise, my friend! Just remember, with great power (horsepower, that is) comes great responsibility (like, you know, not running over pedestrians).
