topdownshooter Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Each character has perma-vehicles that require NO saving on your part; it mentions it all more or less in the early game tips , Franklin's White buffalo And green bike, Trevors Truck, and Michaels Obey Tailgater "and Maybe the wifes red car as it shows up off and on with the horn I changed, they are the smartest to customize in my experience as the rest of my Personally saved home garage cars continue to disappear<(not cool). My advice is to use the separate character-color matching garages you are granted as I haven't run into any problems with them,..currently omw to check again but I'm confident they work Great. I made A lot of changes to Michaels Obey and I treat it the same way he treats his family, I make no efforts to keep tabs but its always back at the house. p.s Just hit Save and try some things people, be attentive. It's a bug dude. I spent many hours experimenting with it yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigIce17 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 you cant save stolen cars, only cars you buy Bullsh*t. I bought a dodge challanger look alike and a bati custom bike, pimped them up, put them in the garage ( on separate occassions, so dont say they dispaeared cuz u had 2 vehicles in the garage) and wen i came back hours later, *poof* magically disappeared from franklins garage. The car saving and impound system is flawed. Neither of these cars and many others ive customized save or report to the impound lot, what a waste of pretend cash. Edit: I think I know why they disappear though! Remember the characters live out their lives when you're not using them so maybe they take the car somewhere and abondon it which is why you never get it back! God forbid rockstar reads this, or they might use that as an excuse to justify the dissapearing cars GLITCH/BUG. I said the same thing.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stee_vo Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 It's pretty stupid, stolen cars show up at the impound but they can't be saved? What's up with that? And why would it say in the beginning of the game "Put cars in the garage to save them" if it doesn't work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seraglio Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 same here, cars don't save, it drives me crazy, luckily didn't buy any car, just stole them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fidzy Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Yeah cars I put in the garage disappear, not forgetting the 3 Cheetahs I bought for Franklin and the one that looks like a Koenigsegg CCX. I just resort to storing them in the actual garages (Grove Street, Vinewood and the other one for Trevor). :L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jatiger13 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Dont store your cars at the houses. And there is also an issue with the cars dissappearing if you take them to a mission. So don't do that either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alec Skorpio Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 If I put Franks Buffalo in the garage, it creates a duplicate on top of it and they both get trashed. If I put anything else in the garage, it dissappears. Also bought a Banshee with Mike and it went missing in his garage. But stolen stuff I f*ck around in shows up at the impound all the time. They've been trying to get this **** to work since San Andreas. What's the damn deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel5567 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Im extremely confused aswell , I had a replica of a audi and a lamborgini stored in the garage but when I next loaded the game they were gone so I fully upgraded a replica of a porshce and saved the game , but just now I loaded it and my porsche is gone and the audi and the lamborgini are back!?

OUT FOX EM Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 (edited) Add me and my brother to the unsaved cars gang. Cars don't save at home, and they definitely don't save when you drive one to a mission. At this point customizing cars is useless, as all it will do is drain your bank account. This is a pretty bad bug, considering the literal name of the game is Grand Theft Auto. If we can't steal cars and keep them, they shouldn't call it GTA. Edit: Registered for 8 years? Damn.

jamieleng Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 So the consensus seems to be, if you want to definitely keep a modded car then store it in the garages that hold four vehicles each. I too had a car disappear from Franklin's safehouse garage, the green Wayfarer & white Buffalo will always spawn outside his house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TsKappa Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I myself have wasted a lot of money modding cars that refuse to go to the impound after I lose them... This along with the melee system are my only main gripes, and one of em' just needs a quick patch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaLaC Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I would like to say someting/ my experience on this issue. First, you dont have to save the characters' cars in the savehouses. They will spawn automatically even after you have modded them in Ls Customs. For me, I modded Franklin's Buffalo to Green/Black Two-Tone. And every time it shows up. Second, I guess there is some bugs with Franklin's new house garage. I've saved two Carbonizzare before, one is modded, and one is stock. After I changed characters a few times and get back to Franklin. They're all disappeared. However, the case didn't go with the same with Michael and Trevor. Other two can save cars in their garages. One explantation is that, after u change character, Franklin took out cars for race or cruise drive Beacuse R* has said characters will have their own activities. That's all. Hope it help.

I too had a car disappear from Franklin's safehouse garage, the green Wayfarer & white Buffalo will always spawn outside his house. Nope. That too can glitch out. I had a custom Dominator for Franklin that I kept in the Grove Street Garage, took it out on a mission, everything went good. On the way back from the mission, the green motorcycle was parked to use to drive away. Went back to town, no car in the impound/garage or at Franklin's house. My guess is the game turned the car INTO the bike. The car system is just f*cked up ATM. There's no way to guarantee that your car will save.

Racer__X Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I've lost pretty much a million dollars worth of cars and tuning because of this. Pisses me off. But it does make sense that perhaps stolen vehicles go in your big garage, and cars you bought go in the one at your house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killerx2 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 how do we buy insurance. if the characters really do use the cars and mess them up, which needs to be patched, but if that is why, then maybe we just need to make sure the car is bought, and has insurance.

isedeasy Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I bought a car and kitted it out, flipped it on the way home and had to ditch it as the cops were chasing me.

mdgrncw Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 You can save stolen cars. I can tell you I accidently did this with michael. I stole a car and drove to his house and left the car on his drive way. I think I switched or saved I don't remember. Now michaels black car is replaced by some sh*t box red car. Same with franklins car, its been gone since the first mission. Whatever random car he last drove shows up. So car saving definitely needs a patch. The only one who gets their car is Trevor.

F-22_Raptor-02 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Maybe the system is to strict cos if i get out of a car that i own and walk miles away from it that car will still be there however if i get out and steel another car then the previous car will then vanish no impound no being stored back at your garage no nothing. Another instant was when i purchased a bike from the net spent $$$ on it took it to a car park for a mission went back after the mission and it was gone it wasn't impounded nor was it back at my garage. During the mission i had to get into a taxi maybe this caused the bike to vanish. If getting into another vehicle does indeed cause the previous cars you owned to dissapear then i would advise everyone not to bring them to a mission.

Pathum Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 (edited) I've had this happen too. What also happened last night was that I customized an Infernus with Franklin, saved in the garage( at home). Switched and did a mission with the others, then siwtched back. I got a switch cutscene where Franklin was out of the house, I looked around and saw my Infernus. I drove it home to see the exact same car sitting in my garage. I got an exact matching replica of my Infernus.Not really complaining about that, but then again it shouldn't happen. And now I'm worried if I lose one, I might lose the other too.

GTASERIESGAMER Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I had the same problem with Franks&Mikes garage, cars "wont" save. But there is this time that I parked a stolen car that i customized in Franks garage that disappeared but appeared again in one time. My theory is the car is still there It just wont spawn. This sh*t is annoying, Sometimes Iam scared to open the garage and seen nothing. Gladly the garage that you can buy is not bug/glitch. Another thing is cars you just left have a big tendency to disappear from nowhere this sh*t annoys me. Tips: Remove all cars from the impound save/park cars on buyble garage around SA Don't buy any f*cking cars online you might just waste thousands of dollars Wait for the patch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_grocki Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I parked a Carbonizarre at Franklin's Grove Street garage and left it there, then found another one and took it to his Vinewood safehouse garage and then immediately saved the game. When I reloaded the save, the garage was empty but his Buffalo was still there outside. That was last night. This morning I go to the iFruit app and see that the Carbonizarre is there waiting to be customized! I can't play the game at the moment, so I wonder what I'll find when I load it up... This is all very confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
