1: Make another separate Car-Shop in Ls, Lv and SF where the players could buy those vehicles which are not available in the normal car shops.
2: Set their buying price a bit high than normal vehicles. Like 700k or 1 million. Their re-tow price should be like 20-30k. Normal vehicle re-tow price is 750$.
This will not just give players to have access to majority of the vehicles but also be useful as Money-Sinker item.


This is not a bad idea and we can actually pull some stats for that and see which vehicles are being bought often. However we won't be adding all off-road vehicles, I guess just a good amount.

Where do you suggest that carshop can be? Do you have anything in mind perhaps? (a picture could help). Do you think it is going to be used by a fair amount of players?

First, I think we need to reconsider a 20k tow fee. Even the 2.5million shamal only costs 750 to tow.

A good amount is all we need. Just, really, anything.

I was thinking an industrial area, making a trucking spot? Or even one of the farms in Flint county, farms always are selling old beat up rusted trucks

Increasing the towing fee for certain luxury vehicles is not a bad idea and will be looked into aswell. As for where to place the dealership, actual pictures of the location would be appreciated and might help us choose a spot easier. I can hope in-game some time later and show to me a few decent ones.

Perhaps indeed using some vehicles from the donation shop, and adding them to a brand new car shop is a good idea however it'd be better if you actually rent those for X amount of time and X amount of money, rather than having them permanent, don't you think?. Not every vehicle from the donation shop, rather like 20-30 maybe?

Only the vehicles that are rarely bought on the website will be able to be purchased from the car shop (check the list above). As for the number of vehicles on the list, not certain, but I would say like 10-15? That would be enough.

I am not sure about the renting suggestion though. What do you guys think?

Out of the long list I gave of possible vehicles, only 5 on your list seem to fit the idea, and the roadtrain had the most purchases...at 5. Five purchases in four years...not exactly a hot ticket item. And as I said, most of the vehicles in my original list are NOT even on the donation page. So those have a total purchase rate of ZERO.

I think as far as cash sinking, we should charge alot (1mil is fine) but thats to own. Renting a truck that would be used alot seems kind of pointless as these are most RP vehicles. You're not going to outrun a cop in a Walton...or a Benson, certainly not in a Sadler. So renting would be pointless and make the feature unwanted. I would like to see some mods for them though. None of these vehicles have /policelights for donation, so many the ability to donate for lights on a few, or pay ALOT of in game cash for lights, neons, and other perks would make it more fun?
