Purchasing Cars

Isn't the title 'Grand Theft Auto' because you can steal cars? You don't have to buy them? However it could be nice if Rockstar finds some kind of way where you have to buy, also I would like a system where cars need gas!

No one is saying we want to HAVE to buy ALL cars, just certain more rare cars.....

If I buy a car, I want a few things:

- Can't be found on the road to steal.

- If left behind, it will spawn at the last garage/parking spot you saved it in.

This, otherwise is utterly pointless.

I wonder if cars you buy wont away?

 

It would be awesome if you really could down a limited amount of vehicles that never spawn away (unless you destroy them, or if possible, sell them).

only reason why i would want to buy a car is it saves time going around trying to find the one i want to steal. easier to buy it. specially during mature stages of the game and there's millions in the savings.

I hope there's used car dealerships, I think I'm dreaming though maybe next time!

 

I'd take much more pride in buying a clapped out old Regina rather than a $250,000 super car

Imagine saving up for a luxery car, buying it, then when you pull out of the garage you bought it from, a random ped opens the door, pulls you out and steels it

lol sorry but doesn't buying cars in a game titled "Grand Theft Auto" render that name kinda useless?

Franklin works for a car dealsership. Maybe you can purchase cars for a cheap price.

Really stoked about the economy they are touching on, especially with the cars.

 

I just hope we see a return to our own garages and not just designated parking spaces, often in IV a car in the world would budge my car out of the zone, therefore my car would disappear after a load, annoying. I'm excited to be able to spend money on vehicles, and modify them, making my car unique to the world, exciting prospect.

 

I will probably steal them though still, as it's more fun. I hope they implement a way in which it is more of a heist theme and harder to steal a car from, say, a showroom. Rather than 1 cop tailing you and loosing them in a few seconds. I think if they introduce car showroom theft (like they did with IV with Grotti), it has to seem like a big deal, like in the real world. It will make the reward of getting the car feel much better. I think they will do so somewhat anyway because of Franklin having to jack cars for his own showroom. In many ways the overall heist theme of the game could really boost gameplay element like that.

Brilliant Feature.

 

I would use purchased cars for things like golf, shopping, and other non crime activities.

 

For higher risk missions such as a bank robbery and car chases I would use a random stolen car.

 

This way my own cars will not be destroyed or recognized in connection with crimes.

 

I am not sure about respawning cars especially if they have been destroyed.

And what about our own purchased cars? If i'm cruising down the street and take, lets say, a side mission what is forcing me to step into another car. What will happen to my car I left? Will it be there when I get back?

Quick question:

 

If you buy a car, and it gets destroyed or anything, will the car be back in your garage?

If not, I'll really take care of my car. smile.gif

We don't know yet. See my post above yours. We have to wait and see.

Hopefully. I imagine this would be one of the main things R* could do to persuade us to spend some cash on a car as opposed to just ripping one off.

Loll, I think it'd be pretty funny/ironic.. and as long as it spawns back at your place not too big of a deal biggrin.gif It would be a blast trying to get it back from them. alien.gif

I think we should be in tight with the shops that we will take our cars to get customized to so that when something happens to our cars they are towed there for repairs and we can just pick them up there after paying for the repairs.

 

If its a case where we just abandon our cars for whatever reason we can just call to have it towed to our garage either for a small fee or free cause we are such good customers or maybe as a perk after doing some missions for the shop(s).

 

For a touch of realism, they shouldnt be able to repair a car that has been blown up. So if you see your car taking serious damage you're better off leaving it behind before it catches fire and jacking another car to get away.

Why would I buy a car when I can steal it? Apparently none of you take good care of your vehicles

- Can't be found on the road to steal.

- If left behind, it will spawn at the last garage/parking spot you saved it in.

If it just got left behind somewhere, it would be neat if it got impounded and you had to pay to get it back.

 

More realistic than it just spawning back at your place, but you still get to keep your car and not have it just vanish in thin air like previous games.

I don't know if any of you has already mod GTA IV on ps3 online. I did and i can tell you that if i leave my car spawned with mods and go to another city and then go back to the car, it is still there. I don't know how it is possible, but it is. If modders can do it, by changing some scrips or so, i'm sure R* can do it too. Just a guess. biggrin.gif

You can now wreck and leave them and you won't lose them. Just like how NPC's own cars in GTA games, I hope. A stolen car you can lose.
