Are Simeon's payouts for cars always this lousy?

[bootymattress]

I collected a Fusillade that Simeon was looking for, it was the first time I actually bothered to deliver one of the cars to the docks for him, but he only gave me like a measly 3500 dollars or so for it. Seems like a waste of time bringing the cars there if the payouts are so terrible, the car was also undamaged when I took it in.

[novesori]

Before I became Glitcher Master Race (like 1 or 2 days when Online came out) I always delivered cars to Simeon, and he always payd more than LSC. I remember a Patriot was about 12.000-13.000$ in perfect condition.

 

Maybe you crashed the car?

[Alec Skorpio]

I think it's been nerfed, and he only pays a small amount more than LSC if it is in perfect condition.

I haven't gotten much over 9000 in over a month or so.

[YourAMiz1900]

most I ever got was 15,000. But I put some 4000$ paint job on it, so really was only about 11 grand that he gave me. Even the "High priority" cars aren't worth much.

[jbarb78]

I got 16k for the Bravado Gresley from Simeon last time I delivered one, I think that's the highest I've gotten from him. If it gets hit more than once, you can pretty much kiss the paint job money you spent goodbye, more than twice and it's not even worth delivering anymore. Needless to say, I'm never in a hurry to get one there with the way NPC's drive these days.

or other players...Some of them make it their prime mission to mess/blow up cars that are being delivered lol

Heh, you're not kidding. Some dildo lit me up driving by on the way to the docks to deliver, totally unnecessary. I laughed at the "I don't even wanna know what you did to it" response when I pulled into the garage, probably lost about $1500 for all the bullet holes.

[Maroofio]

I never knew people took those cars seriously, I just plant a sticky on it and wait for someone to collect it then blow them up.

[smokingndriving]

I sometimes plant a sticky on the car when I'm delivering it - if anyone else tries to get me, no one gets it. I usually get anywhere between $6-12 +/-, depending on the car. Sometimes the high priority vehicle is a motorcycle and I just go forget that because it'll probably be $2-3.

 

BUT: the lightly amusing thing that I discovered is that the sticky stays on the car after you deliver it. Anyone who's ever gotten ONE LITTLE DING on the car and gotten that, "Well, I guess we're going to have to use this one for parts", well, after you get out of the garage and get your money, you can hit the sticky and you still hear the car blow up in the garage.

It's not the NPC's I'm looking out for...it's the trolls and the douches who just want to destroy it so no one can deliver it that you have to watch out for.

[Pete4000uk]

I've got about $12,000 for a good top make car from him for the high priority ones. But often its not much. But then you have to think what he will sell them on for plus profit etc.

[jbarb78]

I don't really go for the high priority ones, just the ones on the list he texts so I can get rid of the message, plus the armored trucks tend to spawn more when that list is gone.

[MantisFang]

lets not even talk about how bad Gerald pays..

cheap ass

[Digitalbulletz]

I like the idea of them not paying an outrageous amount of cash for cars (Simeon) or drugs (Gerald) it gives it more a sense of realism for me. IRL if you steal a brand new car and take it to a chop shop depending on the car most u get is 5k and let's not even get started on a stolen key of yayo lol

[dewtech]

I got 22k for a Fathom but I'd spent over 40k on paint and wheels

[DJ Kornphlake]

most I ever got was 15,000. But I put some 4000$ paint job on it, so really was only about 11 grand that he gave me. Even the "High priority" cars aren't worth much.

...why wouldn't you get a cheaper paint job?

I only did it once to see if it had an impact on the sales...I always use the metallic paint, seems like it pays more than the others IMO.

[CarimboHanky]

customizing cars before delivery is stupid as you wont get all the money spend back.

 

i always use the $760 paint and deliver. 9k being the highest payout for a regular car, 11k being the highest for a high priority.

 

sometimes when i dont feel like delivering, i take the car to lsc, put ignition bomb, and park the car some where or simply drive around looking for people to kill me, and when they do BOOM surprise!

 

i also enjoy stealing high priority cars when people are about to deliver them at the docks. i check the map, teleport, off radar, hide next to the delivery door, kill the poor bastard, remove

wanted, deliver the car, get killed when i spawn outside hahaha

[mr quick]

I max upgraded a high priority vehicle, most expensive rims, bulletproof custom tires, red tire smoke, and chromed it

....6k

[rabbitgripper]

Since being gifted billions, I always go after the high priority cars and mod them to their fullest extent paying atleast 75-100k to do so. Then I either sell them and gift the "laundered" money, or find the lowest ranking player and attempt to give them the car. Hasn't ever paid more than 35k, so its a huge loss LOL. Theres often someone attempting to steal or destroy the car, so the mods help to get it around. Last night there were two ppl waiting at Simeons garage for me, so I just cargo bobbed it to the back side of the garage and peaced out. They probably wanted the 9k bounty on my head more than the 25k car hahaha. The things I do for fun now after becoming a billionaire. It's also fun to mod it, put it somewhere downtown and then set a bounty on whoever grabs it.

Obviously, if you have glitched money, it may seems like a complete waste of time, but I realized recently that most players don't even pay attention to those cars anymore. For someone like me, who's grinding every dollars I can get, it's easy money. Never takes me more than 10 minutes to deliver...

[Hanshot 420th]

It is small, but still still a decent payday. Like others have said try to keep it in perfect condition, avoid scuffing the paint and body damage.

 

With that said I delivered a Bravado Gressly, that I managed to get to the docks even surviving multiple attacks from other players, the thing was in rough shape and I still got $5100. I was shocked and stoked

[Stephen]

The F620 pays the best, close to 17k if it's a high priority vehicle. But don't waste money on the expensive paintjobs, because you only be reimbursed for it. The $780 one is just fine.

 

Tailgater pays good to, if I remember its close to 14 or 15k for it. The Patriot if it's high priority pays 10-11k

I fuly upgraded a car for him once, but it did not effect the pay from him AT ALL. I don't know how anyone else has, but ok...

 

The high priority cars always pay best, but those requested by the text message are based on their own value. It's best to pick the most valuable when sold normally, because some cars only sell for like ~$3000 in shops.

 

I got $12,000 from an Ocelot F620 I found on the street. That's about the most valuable, except maybe a Benefactor Surano. I'm pretty sure I've seen that requested, but never stopped to think til now-- How do you get that painted if it's a premium ride..? lol

[kingcool52]

Why would you put a 4000$ paint job on it

800$ paint job and theres your profit.
