What was the first "reward" you bought yourself? And do you still have it?

What vehicle, apartment or object did you set your sights on and really work for?

Mine is the Obey 9F Cabrio, loved the car since the first SP mission. Found on on the road in the first week of Online and tried to store it but sadly I couldn't. When tested ways of grinding money appeared I set about working towards one and finally bought one, modded it and it still sits n my Garage.

I regularly use it as well.

A reward I gave myself was the Valkyrie. Although at the time I already had the Buzzard and Savage as my go to helicopters, I really couldn't resist the appearance of the Valkyrie. The unique armaments it has, the nose art and decals, the overall performance of it too - it's too good to pass. I don't even get to experience the weapons on this since I'm a solo player, but it's too beautiful. I remenber grinding to buy it and just before I was ready to purchase it...surprise discount! :D

Aggregate Demand

Grotti Turismo R.

 

I grinded A Titan of a Job ​for weeks to get one. I love it and I still have it stored in one of my garages.

Not sure if it's the correct answer ... but :

 

Right after buying the Banshee with the 500.000 $ offered with pre order and the high end appartment for heists, I stopped buying anything more until I reached my ultimate desire : the Hydra and its huge 3 mills price tag. Such a grind...

I felt so rewarded when I got it delivered for the first time by Pegasus.

 

I crashed on a rooftop 30 seconds afterwards.

T20. Hell after this update my badsport with modded money friend has always beat me up in this at tracks against Turismo R. And McLaren is not my least favorite brand. 2m. on PS3 was not a joke. I do remember 10k bets always on Races and DMs, maximum focus, I even have stopped grief and free roam fights to not spent money on ammo. After moving on new gen. I bought this car within first 2 weeks, gladly it is easy to do currently.fNDz7R0.jpg

Probably the Savage or the Insurgent. However don't own the regular Insurgent anymore.

In the very beginning, I was grinding with contact missions and armored cars only. I bought a sunset red Carbonizzare and apt 51 at Richards Majestic.

 

Dont have either now, but I still think thats one of the best high-end apartments in the game because of its great view and excellent location - very close to Ammunation and LS Customs. Affordable too!

First leisure reward I bought myself was the Monroe. I love the Miura SV/Roadster, in baby blue.

 

First priority buy was the Buzzard.

 

Obviously still have both.

Coquette.. then I lost it to the "slot one no insurance bug" that happened on one of the early DLC's. That's where I started my compensation.

Pegassi Vacca. I think I painted it white eventually. Held onto it for a long time, but don't have it anymore.

The T20 was my one big reward. $2.2mil is still expensive today and in 2015 it was even moreso. I didn't have much income at the time, mostly lived off of my Billionaire days Adder bond money and some contact missions, but I'd gone years without a top-performing Super because I just didn't like the look of what was available at the time. But as soon as I saw the promo pics for the T20, I had to have it. No regrets. To this day it remains my only high-tier Super.

ETR1. I was so hyped about a super, bought it, loved the cornering on rails, then it got nerfed and it lost its appeal... It really feels slow? Maybe i expect too much. Yep thats it.

I'd say the z-type was my first splurge purchase. I still have it.

No surprise, but there wasn't really a clear cut thing I wanted until the Hydra came out. I got the tank thanks to the billionaire days and they didn't even bother to take it away from me. Spent hours grinding out contact missions and all that saving finally paid off. No regrets spending that 3 million dollars. Shortly afterwards I ended up getting most of the heist vehicles.

My first few targets in V online

 

First - a high end apartment, good old apartment 51 Richards Majestic. I wish we could redecorate the old apartments, but the location is great, close to everything but just far enough away from the usual war zones. Complete with not one, but two great views. On one side it has an unobstructed view across the movie lot and down to Vespucci, especially good at night when the fair ground is lit up in the distance. On the other side I look out over the golf course.

 

Next up, a Turismo R. Still have it, it looks good, sounds good & drives really nicely. I still only have four supers because I favor sports and classics, so that says something about how much I like it.

 

Armored Kuruma - back when my main means of making money was CM's getting the Kuruma was a real help. I got through jobs faster, used less ammo, less snacks, no armor, and therefore made money faster. Still have it, still use it in CM's

Same here! Nice to know I wasnt the only one who tried so hard to get the Valkyrie. Then commenced attempting to pick up randoms in free roam.. I got blown up with homing launchers so much, haha.

For me it was the Osiris... Still have the car to this very day.. Rebuilt it on my (now) main (female) character. Male still has his the Original in my Original first property (6 car garage).... Still love it to bits.

 

And the other one was the Sandking XL, I went hunting for (Took me quite a few days, as I didn't know jacksh.. about how to make em spawn and where to find them... After finally picking it up from the street and driving to my garage, I drove it all anxious (with detours to avoid playerdots) cos some other player might blow it up LOL.. Then I grinded rp to get all the nice options on it.. Still recall how I went from bumper to bumperoption... Was a blast and I still have it. To this day I find the Sandking still one of the more fun vehicules in game... Guess I'm a sucker for Pick-up trucks... :-) Ah, the memories... :)

The only vehicle in this game I ever grinded for was the Hydra. Now they've gone and broken it. That really doesn't inspire me to ever work for anything else.

I won a auction for a Great White Shark Card on last-gen (when I had piss poor money. It was about before the I'm not a Hipster update btw).

 

I treated myself to buying the Del Perro 10 car apartment, and upgrading some of the cars I already had (I had a Merryweather Mesa, a Cogscenti Cabrio, a Asea, a Tailgater and a Bati 801rr). I still have all of these items to this very day.

 

My god, it feels good to know that I'm one of the earliest players (as I started my online career in November 2013)

 

Also it was a really smart move to hang onto the Del Perro apartment, as 3 years later an Office from the Finance and Felony update is located right next to it, making me save money on the optional Living Quarters for the Office.

Adder. First thing that came to mind when I saw the title.

 

It's been bought and sold a few times. Don't have one currently.

Zentorno, i guess. Don't like it anymore tho, but before the Torero and Tempesta it was my best Pegassi vehicle.

I remember being really excited to buy my first 2-car garage at North Chumash (for the sunsets). Just enough room for my housemate's Oracle and my Ruiner. First supercar I saved up for was the Osiris, which I later sold, and then recreated, replaced, and then mysteriously obtained a worn variant that I still have today. I should drive it more.
