IMPONTE PHOENIX HELP!

[Army Ranger19]

I've been looking for the Imponte Phoenix FOREVER and I can't find ot anywhere I've did NO HAY BRONCA like 10 times I've gotten the Imponte Phoenix, killed, and destroyed the gangmembers vehicles. I spawn back into GTA Online and Im in the car, but when I go to put a tracker on it the option isn't there and it won't let me put it in the garage. Is this to do with the 1.11 update or what Im started to get frustrated. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT!! Thanks

[Inked.]

I think it was a few updates ago they did away with the whole "saving a car from a mission thing", at least from what I knew.

 

I been looking for it too. Was easier to find when the game came out haha.

You can't store mission vehicles anymore. You'll have to find the Phoenix in free roam or glitch/dupe it

It spawns on the highway near the docks after delivering a car for Simeon. Also, just ask in the request thread for someone to give it to you.

[Shadow_Titan17]

I get them fairly often. Best place is to look near the docks by Simeon. I once got over 30 Phoenix's spawning.

[mrLEATHERFAE79]

Can someone confirm this theory,If you have already owned and insured a car it's more likely to spawn,apart from the Tailgater of course?

This. Go into an invite only session and drive around the docks by Simeon's garage.

I doubt it. I have owned/sold both the Bison and the F620 several times and they still don't show up all that often.

Here's what you should do to get the Phoenix easier:

 

1.) Load up a solo or invite only session, just as long as you are alone.

2.) Go to the docks where you deliver vehicles to Simeon or in the area where the prison and LSC are in the desert.

3.) Drive around those areas until you find a Phoenix. It shouldn't take too terribly long. I hear it helps if you also drive a muscle car.

 

The reason why you want to be alone is because I noticed there's a larger variety of cars when you're alone. You also wont have to worry about a random killing you.

I'll try all these methods guys thanks and if y'all want to help me find it feel free.

XBL Gamertag: Army Ranger19...like I said feel free to help and send a friend request

One way to do it is to go to the docks and set your spawn location to last location, then keep switching servers until you either see one driving around, or you see one parked near the warehouses. I'll be honest, the Phoenix isn't that great. It fish tails to easily and when you put it's stats at max, it just over revs the engine really hard and takes a few seconds for it to actually get up and going.

[Army Ranger19]

I finally found it THANKS GUYS and not it isn't that great now that I actually got it for awhile..

[CrusherTroi]

I found a few Phoenixes around the Strip Club area. Just drive around there and they'll spawn eventually.

[mrLEATHERFAE79]

@Army Ranger19 have you tried the Ruiner? I have had all the muscle cars maxed out and found this to have a good balance of handling and speed,also does not spin out at every corner.

Ruiner def a much better racer, but the Phoenix has much more style and that engine sounds so bad azz!

[Fruzzy]

I found mine on the freeway between mount chillad and mount gordo

Only immediately after said vehicle is taken to LSC to be sold,(i.e. only for the remainder of the session). After that, you're at the mercy of game's random 'vehicle playlist' as well as other players' vehicle types.

IDK, the Ruiner Looks badass IMO, because it can be made to look like the DeLorean from Back to the Future and Knight Rider KITT. Like many others, I've searched for the Phoenix for a very long time-o But then, I found it kind-of disappointing. Both Sabre and Ruiner are much more fun, and look as good or better. Just my $0.02

@gorskiegangsta I meant in invite session,I can usually get cars that friends need and they seem to be cars that I've owned and sold apart from a Schafter which I still own won't spawn for me.Probably random but just an idea.

[fw3]

They are out there. I also searched for a couple of months to find one. I ended up finding mine at the docks near where Simeone is.

I will tell you this, that I know the feeling of just wanting one and feeling frustrated in not finding it.

Once you get one - and you will - you'll dress it up nice and hopefully enjoy it.

For me, however, it was a short-lived love affair, as I was very disappointed at how it handled in rain, races, and in chases.

Tail-happy doesn't begin to cover how much I grew to un-love this car.

I ended up selling it and got a Bravado, which is only slightly better to drive, but looks so much... well, not like a Phoenix!

 

Cheers!

[dingodile_r89]

They usually spawn for me when I deliver either a Dominator or a Patriot to Simeon.

 

Apart from that, I saw them spawn on the freeway on the west when I was robbing stores, I was driving an Akuma.

 

I hope this helps, good luck to you!

[Schweppez]

It's a little slippery, but I just love the way it looks with the custom tires. I made my Pheonix all-black like Mad Max's Interceptor

It's boner inducing...

I like my phoenix. Got one from "no hay bronco" to trigger spawning.

 

Once I drove the "mission phoenix" in free-roam, I saw them driving everywhere.

 

I did have the Ruiner to for a while. Drives okay, but flips over way too quick imho.

[budcat]

I normally drive a Ruiner because it vaguely looks like my old 1988 300ZX and I have to say it handles much better, in my opinion, than the Phoenix. A guy let me drive his Phoenix during a RR session and I embarrassed myself so bad spinning in circles and crashing at every turn. I figured I could drive it like my Ruiner but hell no.

It works OK, I actually see more Phoenix spawns driving my Vigero than my Phoenix.

That's a good way to get it. Yes, it is a total burnout machine and I f**king love it!

[ExtremeTorque]

Yesterday,I found lots of Phoenix at the docks and was wondering If i should steal one and check the forums if anyone wants it lol.

[Cwinny24]

Lol well f*ck, sold mine yesterday and promised myself to get it back when second garages come out.
