Business Knowledge Base - Import/Export

[Weekendwarrior]

I reach 10 standards and mids and 12 high. So I waited and had 2mins+ on cooldown left when I had to go so I closed the game. Later I came back online, drove to my warehouse and it was 6mins+ ?

 

Has it always been like this? Am I missing something?

You got 300k because of the bonuses, without them you would have got 160k (80k per car). You get 20k less per car in collections because you dont need to pay 20k to modify them.

 

As Classique says, you don't pay the $20k per car if you sell a collection. And in any case, modification costs are deducted from your bank before you spawn outside your warehouse so it still shows the full figure ($125k or whatever) even if you're not selling a collection.

 

Have you actually delivered any Import/Export cars?

Yes i have delivered many Import/Export car (i made about 6 Million sinc christmas).

 

If you sell a highend car to a private buyer (were you modify it for 20 k without the bonuses) you get 100k per car. With the current bonuses you get 125 k per car and pay 25 k to modify them.

If you sell a collection of highend cars you get 80 k per car without bonuses and you dont need money to modify them. With the current bonuses you get 100k per car since 80k divided by 4 = 20k and 80k+20k=100k. You also get a set bonus for delivering a collection who are not affected by the current event.

 

Thats atleast how it was for me.

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

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

 

I know that one. Seems that my new position to fight of the wave have also hostile driver, that where the additional cars came from (just pissed of npcs driving by). I also use the Cargo bob style, if I am alone. This time in the session there where 4 of my friends, and they went of to a heist, leaving me alone. I am most of the time in small, friendly, peaceful session. But there are times, those get empty or the other players help me sale a collection. So, even though I don't need it often, I like to have the right strategy for selling without enemy players in the session and using a cargobob. It will happen, so always be prepared.

[feiaschdada]

Something I noticed: I am a collection hunter. Most of the times, I have friends in my session, helping me if I need to sell a collection (and it is worth while, since they also get the collection bonus). Now most of the time, imitatively after selling a collection the likely hood of sourcing a new collection vehicle seems to rice. Is it just luck, coincidence or does other have that too? Is there a max amount of full collection you can have? Somebody noticed things around whether or not the game gives you a collection vehicle?

[TommyTightShoes]

Is there a list of car collection prices anywhere please ? Like which cars should I keep for collections.

[Strikeslip]

I find selling in a populated lobby much faster than in a private-public lobby. Normal people are easy to evade, but with the AI you either have to take the time to deal with them, or have a couple thousand dollars worth of bullet holes put in your rear end and the joy of panicked NPCs trying to run into you. Using a cargobob in a populated lobby is a big risk compared to simply driving due to jets and people with homing rockets.

 

Side note:

Stunt races are double money for the next two weeks. An eight+ minute race in a full lobby can earn in the order of $55K, if memory serves, maybe more. But does the I/E sell timer tick down while you're racing?

You're just a lucky sob;)

And no, you can have all collections complete....but it doesn't give you anything. Though I still haven't checked if actually selling all the different collections gives you something.

Last time i was selling cars with a friend we found easy solution for the AI attacking us. Just park the cars in a safe spot, deal with the waves of npcs (4 waves or so) and you are good to go.

cooldown only counts down while you're in game and switching to a new session seems to add time to the existing cooldown too

Did they fix the issue with pegasus vehicles getting destroyed shortly after you leave them? I haven't had that problem the last 2 days.

Didn't see anything official, but for me it's working fine again as well.

had it multiple time yesterday. It seems something around the way you park them. I think the game "respawning" them is a problem. Spawn them aware of any object that could mean a hit to the helicopter (walls, edges etc).

 

Yesterday I parked my cargobob on a grassland that has a small fall in front of my warehouse. After coming back, it was flipped and laying on its f*cking side. My guess is, that the game despawns your heli if no one is arround and respawns it, if somebody come around, but maybe not exact in the right position and that by respawning it, it got flipped.

 

Maybe the calculation is off if there is a height difference near your helicopter. Since that guess if always keep a distance to falls, edges and walls while parking it and for the 2 hours (not long enough to prove my guess) I've played have not got the problem.

 

So take it as a guess why this happens and try to park your helicopter away from edges on horizontal areas with no NPCs arround. If it helps, let us know.

[Gridl0k]

I spent hours using the cargobob with no drops yesterday, staying in the same lobby. That's my current best guess, it's lobby-dependent, so if your CB plays up try changing.

Yes i have delivered many Import/Export car (i made about 6 Million sinc christmas).

If you sell a highend car to a private buyer (were you modify it for 20 k without the bonuses) you get 100k per car. With the current bonuses you get 125 k per car and pay 25 k to modify them.

If you sell a collection of highend cars you get 80 k per car without bonuses and you dont need money to modify them. With the current bonuses you get 100k per car since 80k divided by 4 = 20k and 80k+20k=100k. You also get a set bonus for delivering a collection who are not affected by the current event.

 

Thats atleast how it was for me.

 

I've delivered collections before the current 25% event - every time I've got the full value (i.e. $100k for a top range car, $62,500 for a mid range etc). And the set bonus is definitely increased by 25% for the current event. So I'd say your recollection is pretty much 100% incorrect.

Well i can only say what i saw myself. For the collection of z-Type and roosevelt it said 160k before the event.

the price of cars in a collection is the profit you make from specialist sale and not the sell value. ( 80k for a top car in a collection - with the 25% 100k for a top car in a collection)

If you follow the link in the first post all that information is there, plus more.

[DiemessGTA]

How often do the lists of collection cars change? I finally bought my import/export warehouse so I'm a bit late to the party.

As far as I've seen they don't.

[Tez2]

Yeah, the list of cars available in each collection will never change and R* can't change them via tunables.

It will remain like this until the next update if they ever want to change the way it works.

For example, Fading Power Collection will always require:

1- Coquette Blackfin (Normal)

 

2- Nightshade (Variant)

I have a complaint related to import export. I'm referring to the cargobob.

Sometimes, the cargobob unexpectedly hooks the car off, dealing significant damage to it and it makes me angry. How does this happen?

 

Buddy of mine figured this out. If you land the CB with the hook down it damages it somehow. Also he figured out if you pass over certain spots on the map the CB will drop the car. One that stuck out to me was Bennys.

Well as mentioned i don't have a problem right now so no testing will be necessary for now at least. But when it did happen from the new dlc come out til yesterday my choppers would get destroyed no matter how i parked them. It could be on a road, on a parking spot or in the middle of a grass patch with no obstacles near it. It wasn't 100% but very often. Just as it was out of sight i would get the message from Pegasus that it had been destroyed.

From what I noticed it tends to do that when you are in a lobby with other people but when you play alone in a lobby it won't unhook randomly.

[Chimpokomon]

Is there a consensus on the best special vehicle garage locations? I made the mistake to buy the one by LSIA. I want to trade it for another but I don't wanna screw up again.

seems to be the case

Can you explain a little more for us new warehouse owners. Thanks

[YanktonGangster]

What he means is that your warehouse can only hold so many of each car type. If you max out the number of standard and mid-range cars in your warehouse, you'll only get top range vehicles every time you go to source a vehicle to steal.

I land while having the hook down all the time. It doesn't do anything. The hook will sometimes glitch but to me it seems to be more related to how long you have been using that chopper. For that reason i never use it for more than one steal and the following delivery. Then i get a new chopper.

10 standard and 10 mid to be exact and none of them can be duplicates.

IMO Murrieta Heights (most expensive) and use the highway access through the broken walls a *lot*.

 

In any event I would avoid the cheapest one, it's a warzone.
