To sell a car in Grand Theft Auto (GTA), drive it to a Los Santos Customs shop, interact with the mechanic, and select the 'Sell' option. The sale price is determined by the vehicle's model, condition, and any upgrades. In GTA V and GTA Online, this is a key method for earning in-game currency, but there are restrictions, such as cooldowns on selling multiple cars or limitations on high-end vehicles that require specific approaches.
Steps to Sell a Car:
First, locate a Los Santos Customs shop on your map—they are marked with a spray can icon. Steal or drive your owned car to the location. Avoid damaging the car en route, as vehicle condition impacts the sell price; significant damage reduces the value. Once inside, choose the 'Sell' option from the menu. If the car is too expensive or rare, you might need to use a vehicle warehouse in GTA Online for higher profits.
Important Tips:
- Sell cooldown: In GTA Online, you can typically sell one car every 48 minutes (in-game time) to avoid triggering anti-fraud measures.
- Best cars to sell: Focus on high-value models like sports or super cars, but note that stolen personal vehicles from other players cannot be sold.
- Modifications: Adding performance upgrades (e.g., engine tuning) can increase the sell price, but it's often not cost-effective.
