How to Sell Cars in GTA5
Although Grand Theft Auto 5 is over a decade old, there’s no slowdown in the game’s popularity. The well-loved action franchise is set in a world where you get to cause all the trouble you can think of, including stealing cars and selling them. If you want to know how to sell cars in GTA5, we’ll cover how to steal and resell them or legit buy them to sell too.
How to Sell Cars in GTA 5 Online
You can only sell cars in GTA 5 online, not in Single-player/story mode. You can only sell one vehicle every 48 minutes of real-time, equal to one car in-game day.
Before Selling a Car in GTA5:
How to Buy a Car
You may decide to buy a car and sell it later when you upgrade. Here’s how:
- Use the game’s Eyefind web browser via your phone
- Go to Travel and Transport
- You’ll see websites with options for categories of vehicles
Here are the types sold:
- Southern San Andreas Super Autos: All-round
- Warstock Cache & Carry: Weaponized/Utility
- Benny’s Original Motor Works: Customizable
- Legendary Motorsport: High-end
You can also buy a car in “person” at GTA Online Luxury Autos dealership or GTA Online Premium Deluxe Motorsport. They both have a changing inventory to keep your eye on in case something tempting pops up.
After you buy your car, you’ll need a garage to store it in until you’re ready to sell.
How to Steal a Car
If you decide buying is too pricey, well…there’s a reason why the game is called Grand Theft Auto. Steal cars by hijacking NPCs or hotwiring them from streets or lots. The fancier the car, the more it sells for. Also, the better the condition the better the price, so try not to ruin it during your getaway drive.
Where to Sell a Car in GTA 5
