Ditch the Rusty Debauchery, It's Time to Roll in Style: A (Mostly) Legitimate Guide to Exotic Cars in GTA 5
Los Santos is a land of opportunity, that much is true. But let's face it, cruising around in a beat-up sedan with questionable muffler noises isn't exactly screaming "baller" (though it might attract some interesting wildlife). Fear not, aspiring petrolhead! This guide will steer you in the right direction to snag some of the hottest rides GTA has to offer, all without turning your character into a wanted criminal... well, most of the time.
1. Become a High-Society Hiker: The Exotic Exports List
Ever heard the saying "finders keepers, losers weepers"? Well, in Los Santos, it's more like "finders become millionaires, weepers become roadkill." Here's the deal:
QuickTip: Read section by section for better flow.![]()
-
Unlocking the List: This treasure map to sweet rides requires an Auto Shop and some good ol' fashioned thievery. Complete a Robbery Contract for KDJ (the resident conspiracy theorist with a surprising knack for heists) and you'll gain access to the Exotic Exports List on your Auto Shop's magic blackboard.
-
The Thrill of the Hunt: The List details ten exotic beauties scattered across the city. Your job? Find them, deliver them, and get paid! Keep an eye on your minimap for blue dots – these mark the location of your soon-to-be chariot. Pro tip: Invest in a good pair of running shoes, some of these car chases might involve a bit of off-road adventuring (or shall we say, evading the cops).
-
Bonus Bucks: Deliver all ten cars within a day and you'll score a cool $100,000. Not bad for a day's work (assuming you don't total the vehicles in the process).
2. Spoils of War (But Like, the Legal Kind): Vehicle Cargo
Feeling more James Bond than Indiana Jones? Then this might be your hustle.
QuickTip: Repetition signals what matters most.![]()
-
Office Space: You'll need an Executive Office to get this operation rolling. Once acquired, purchase a Vehicle Warehouse. This bad boy acts as your personal Batcave for all things automotive.
-
GTA's Most Wanted (Luxury Cars): Specialists will source exotic vehicles for you (think Bugatti on a budget... well, a GTA budget). Steal these beauties, deliver them to your warehouse, and then legally sell them off for a hefty profit. Just avoid any pesky roadblocks or overzealous police chases, and you'll be swimming in cash in no time.
3. Wheelin' and Dealin' with Luxury: Simeon's Repo Work
Remember Simeon, that grumpy used car salesman with a questionable moral compass? Well, he can be your unlikely ticket to exotic car heaven (with a few bumps in the road, of course).
QuickTip: Go back if you lost the thread.![]()
- Repo Maniac: Simeon will pay you handsomely to reclaim his "borrowed" (stolen) vehicles. The fancier the car, the bigger the payout. Just be prepared to deal with some seriously disgruntled ex-owners who might not be too keen on giving up their rides without a fight.
4. Patience is a Virtue (Especially When It Comes to Supercars):
Let's be honest, sometimes you just gotta cruise the streets in a top-of-the-line Adder or Zentorno. But these bad boys don't exactly grow on trees (or in parking lots, for that matter). Here's the (slightly less glamorous) alternative:
Tip: Stop when confused — clarity comes with patience.![]()
-
Stalking the Spawn Points: Some fancy cars have predetermined spawn locations. A quick Google search will reveal these hidden gems, but be prepared to wait – these rides are rare and might take a while to show up.
-
The Waiting Game: Cruise around wealthy neighborhoods like Rockford Hills or Vinewood Hills. Sooner or later, you're bound to spot some baller rides parked outside mansions. Just remember, if it's not yours, don't hotwire it (unless you're feeling particularly adventurous and have a good lawyer on speed dial).
There you have it! With a little patience, cunning, and maybe a dash of questionable morality, you'll be rolling around Los Santos in style in no time. Remember, while some methods might be more legitimate than others, just avoid attracting too much unwanted attention (unless, of course, that's your thing). Now get out there and start building your garage of automotive dreams!
