Grand Theft Auto: Exporting Like a Boss (Without Looking Like a Doofus)
Ah, the glamorous life of a GTA Online car exporter. You wheel around in stolen rides, pockets lined with fat stacks of cash, and leave a trail of envious stares in your wake. But before you channel your inner Dominic Toretto, there's a little more to this business than just hotwiring a Z-Type and hoping for the best.
This guide, my friends, is your key to becoming an export extraordinaire, a sultan of stolen sedans, a czar of pilfered pickups. Buckle up, gearheads, because we're about to take a joyride through the wonderful world of GTA Online car export.
How To Get Cars To Export In GTA 5 |
Step 1: From Chump to CEO
First things first, you gotta ditch the rusty old beater and upgrade to a life of luxury (well, as luxurious as Los Santos gets). That means becoming a CEO, fancy title and all. Think of it as going from the guy selling lemonade from a cardboard stand to a full-blown beverage baron (minus the whole, y'know, lemonade part).
Tip: Reread if it feels confusing.![]()
There are CEO offices scattered around the map, so snag yourself one and get ready to impress your virtual secretary with your impeccable taste (or at least the most expensive wallpaper you can afford).
Step 2: Warehousing Your Wheels (Without the Hamsters)
Now, you can't exactly keep all those stolen beauties parked on your virtual lawn. That's where a swanky vehicle warehouse comes in. This isn't your average storage unit – think climate-controlled chrome palaces for your automotive conquests.
Here's the kicker: warehouses ain't cheap. So choose wisely, my friend. Do you go for the budget option in a not-so-desirable part of town, or splurge on the penthouse suite with a view (that view being other people's less impressive warehouses, obviously).

Step 3: The Art of the Steal (Without the Orange Jumpsuit)
Alright, this is where things get exciting. Time to put your GTA skills to the test - and by skills, we mostly mean not crashing into everything in sight while evading the fuzz.
Here's the deal: you use your CEO computer (because apparently CEOs steal cars with high-tech gadgets these days) to initiate a "Source Vehicle" mission. Your ever-so-helpful assistant will locate a car for you to "borrow."
Pro Tip Alert! Not all cars are created equal. Keep an eye out for "Top Range" vehicles – those are the real moneymakers. But a word of caution: don't go all demolition derby on your way back. A scratched bumper might mean the difference between a cool million and pocket change.

Step 4: Exporting Like a King (or Queen of Crime)
Now that your ill-gotten gains are safely tucked away in your warehouse, it's time to turn them into sweet, sweet GTA dollars. Head back to your CEO computer and select "Export Vehicle."
Here's the fun part: You get to choose how to deliver your stolen treasure. There's the "Specialist Dealer" option, which nets you the most cash but also throws some serious heat your way (think rival gangs with itchy trigger fingers). Or, you can go low-key with a "Private Sale" or a "Showroom" delivery, but those come with a smaller payout.

The Choice is Yours, But Remember:
- High risk, high reward with the Specialist Dealer.
- Less drama (and less money) with the other options.
So, play it safe or go for glory? The decision is in your (slightly sweaty from all that GTA action) hands.
Bonus Tip: Become a Mastermind (Not a Mayhem-Maker)
There's more to this car export business than just mindless mayhem. Here are a few tricks to become a real pro:
- Stock Up on Warehouses: The more cars you have, the more money you can make. But remember, even a virtual car baron needs a budget.
- Master the Art of the Getaway: Those police chases can get hectic. Learn the best escape routes and hone your driving skills to become a slippery eel for the fuzz.
- Recruit Some Muscle: Going solo is fun, but having a crew to watch your back during those export deliveries can be a lifesaver (or respawn-saver, as the case may be).
With these tips and a little bit of practice, you'll be exporting cars like a seasoned pro in no time. Now get out there, steal some fancy rides, and become the envy of every gearhead in Los Santos!
