livnew Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Ok so I don't really understand what the difference is between buying a car and upgrading it and then stealing a car and upgrading it and putting it in your garage. Is there any difference? In both ways do the cars get impounded? Also, is the insurance just for GTA Online? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realistic Steak Cult Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 When you buy a car, you own it. When you steal a car, you still dont. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raavi Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 When you steal a car there is a chance that someone will call five-0, that a cop will try to pull you over, or that the owner of the car you stole comes after you. When you buy the car on other hand, it's yours. – overeducated wonk who fetishises compromise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillaDanny Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 you can get insurance for bought cars but you can't get insurance for stolen cars (correct me If I'm wrong though) so basically if your stolen customized car is trashed, you won't see it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I understood from the videos you have insurance offline and online but I really can't confirm that, try looking into the internet in your ingame phone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iNero Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 wanna know that too. i still have no idea how the impunt works. when I loose the personal cars of franklin or the others, they still stand at their house. but then it say me that the car is at the impound. and you only can get back one car so I dont know which car you can get back when you drove one, get out, get in another one and so on... which car does it choose for the impound garage? and where can I get back an insured car?

kmanmx Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I dunno, I don't get it either. I spent about 50K upgrading a cool car for Franklin. I could have sworn I left it in his garage at his house. But now it's not there, it's not at grove street garage and it's not at the impound. Makes no sense.

It's pretty annoying, such a waste of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MajesticJazz Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Funny how the reviews fail to mention this. I hope Rockstar speaks out on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iAzNSAVioR Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Well, in GTA Online, you can steal cars and put a tracker (or insurance). If you buy cars such as a Adder online, it'll be sent to your garage and it'll automatically have a tracker and insurance set on it. (Note: To buy cars online in GTA Online, you must have a apartment or garage for it to be sent to.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
