I restock Coke biz (fully upgraded) w $75k supplies. I then run CEO activities until LJT call it needs resupply. At that point it has $112k sellable product near, $168k far. I sell it far for $168k ($93 k profit / GM) then refill supplies. Then go do import biz.

 

What I do as well, and it make sense to buy the supply and not get it free, since the time you lose getting the supply would be more or less a waste of time unless very lucky in supply mission.

So because I enjoy variety and I am sh*t at sniping drivers, I have a tip for the steal missions at the racetrack.

 

If you have a Dashound bus in your Pegasus list go ahead and call it when you are nearing the track. Get in the bus and block the exit to the track. It fits perfectly. Start f*cking up all the other cars and after a second those that remain will try to escape only to be stopped by the bus. Just walk up and get in the car you need, blow up the bus, and drive out.

I bought the Garage in "La Puerta" for 2.735.000 $ and "Urban" Interieur for 230.000 $ and on my Bank there is correctly -2.965.000 $.

But as i get in the Garage i realized, that there is only the Standard Interieur?! Anyone of you had already this Bug?

couldn't find this on the forum

 

but sometimes when you go steal a car they are at a car meeting where there are other cars modded up with things like neon, can you steal these other cars and keep them then go back to the one you were actually meant to steal?

Pretty sure they are all locked.

is this business possible for lone wolfs?

i've heard/read that you need at least on other player in your org. to be able to sell a vehicle or a collection of vehicles.

is this true or is there a way to do all of it by yourself?

 

sorry if this was already asked somewhere in this thread.

[Gridl0k]

It's very suitable for single players, yes.

 

Also FWIW 25% bonus tomorrow through the 17th.

I've been doing it solo from the start. (i havent sold any collections yet though) (also, you don't HAVE TO sell collections)

 

already made almost a million by myself in a solo lobby.

You need an extra player/extra players if you are into collections cause 1 car = 1 player, 2 cars = 2 players etc.. Other than that everything else is fine solo, and I have earned a good deal of money without doing any collections. Edited January 2, 2017 by C64fanatic

Any solution for the overpowered buzzards?

 

I used to call a friend to swing by with a hydra to take them out while I fly the cargobob.

But when I'm alone used to spawn the limo, get in and take them out with a revolver or the turret, but that doesn't work anymore. They'll kill you, inside or not.

 

And shooting you before you spawn.

[feiaschdada]

Did they changed something? Just got 4 waves a 3 cars on selling- one of them was yellow...

Intentionally fail mission, do another source mission.

But it's part of a collection. Or it's a Top Range vehicle.

 

And the fastest way of failing it intentionally is to go and destroy the cargobob. Yeah, f*ck that. Just switch sessions.

Yeah....

Make sure you've sniped all the 6 npc's before picking the car up, so your 'Bob will have suffered no damage.

Then when you pick up the car, only go up very high, so you can full speed to your warehouse all the way. The buzzards won't spawn yet then. They'll spawn just after you move forward.

You'll often have covered over a third of the way before they even catch up to you. Just keep going and you should make it to your warehouse safely.

The last 10 or so times I did the mission this way and didn't fail yet....a few times my 'Bob was leaving a trail of thick black smoke before I made it home though;)

Only sell in public sessions and enemies will not chase you.

Or simply use the Cargobob when in an empty lobby, just go high enough and the NPC's won't be able to aim at you and hit you.The unhooking bug only seems to occur when other players are present in lobby, otherwise in empty it works fine.

Only sell in public sessions and enemies will not chase you.Well but then you will get chased by random assclowns in jets and in my opinion the npcs are much better.

Does buying a special vehicle garage take up a spot for the cargo warehouses? And can you buy more than one special vehicle garage?

[ibsmokin]

I've just got rid of my duplicates. Down to ten ten and 12. Testing this now

First car sourced it's a mid range zentorno....

[ibsmokin]

Sorry but I gotta call Bullsh*t on this theory.

[Sagrawa]

Does buying a special vehicle garage take up a spot for the cargo warehouses? And can you buy more than one special vehicle garage?

Nope, it doesn't take up one of the 40 spots. They get stored in the basement of the warehouse.

And no, you can only have one vehicle warehouse.

 

I've just got rid of my duplicates. Down to ten ten and 12. Testing this now

First car sourced it's a mid range zentorno....

Yeah, that makes sense....You have all 32 cars in the warehouse, so you start getting the duplicates again.

[nido997]

so , just to point it out :

I now have 40 Cars in my warehouse : 20 of them are low range !!!!! 14 mid-range , and only 6 top range ! so I don t believe that there is kind of balance between the ranges in the vehicles warehouse . I do think it s random : I was having only top ranges the whole last week ( although I didn t play that much ) when I had 17 low and 11 mid range cars , and I was selling the top cars immediately ( except the ones belonging to collections ) ... but since yesterday I ONLY had low & mid range vehicles ... I don t know, it s just random ....

Yeah, that makes sense....You have all 32 cars in the warehouse, so you start getting the duplicates again.OK so you're saying I should have sold a top range. In your opinion would having collection vehicles missing affect this method? What I'm saying is do all collections have to be completed for this to work?

EDIT: if I'm trying to get a certain collection car should I delete it's duplicate while the other ranges remain at their respective max being 10 or 12?

No because I'm pretty sure if you sell it, it'll become available to source again. Try to sell off other cars in the other ranges instead of selling the duplicate of the car you need for the collection.

[ibsmokin]

My problem is right now all my twelve top range Cars are part of a collection.

Ooooohhh sell them! Actually wait til tomorrow.. 25% more $$ on exports.

40 > 32. The Method does not work if you have 40 cars in your Warehouse. Sell all the duplicate cars (have only one version per car in your warehouse) to get to 10 low range and 10 midrange cars and do nevee go above 12 Toprange cars.

As long as you do not have more then 12 toprange cars you will now get a toprange car everytime you source another one.

So once I decided to sell the t20, devil. The next car I sourced was a t20. Sold that sourced another and again and again. So I blew up a jester and the next car I sourced is a jester.

I think when you have all the 32 cars and no duplicates whatever car you get rid of is the type of car you will source.

I think like you said you only get duplicates after you have the 32 which is one of every model available. So it's like there's a slot for one of each type of car until you hit 32 and then it's random so when you remove a car from its slot it's forced to refill it from a random selection of the different variants of that car for you to source.

[V4S]

sorry if this has been answered, i don't really wanna fish through 36 pages.. but when you get a timed bomb equipped source, can you hook it to a cargobob before it activates (since these tend to spawn in covered areas) or will it blow up regardless since you got in it?

It won't activate until you get out of the Cargobob and into the car. If you just pick it up with the 'Bob then the mission itself won't even progress as it would act like you're picking up a normal car.
