Ditch the Stealing Spree: How to Buy Cars (Legally-ish) at the LS Car Meet in GTA Online
So, you've cruised into the glamorous LS Car Meet, a veritable smorgasbord of four-wheeled eye candy. But hold on there, cowboy (or cowgirl, no judgement), before you get all "Grand Theft Auto" on the nearest Sultan RS Classic. There's a more civilized way to snag these beauties, and it involves less screaming pedestrians and more high-fives with fellow car enthusiasts.
Welcome to the Club (For a Cool Fifty K)
First things first, you gotta become a member. The LS Car Meet ain't exactly a "bring your own lawn chair" kind of place. Think of it as a fancy country club, but with less tweed jackets and more neon. Fifty thousand GTA bucks gets you in the door, unlocks a test track to rev your virtual engine, and most importantly, allows you to buy rides from your fellow gearheads.
Eye Candy with a Price Tag: Buying Cars from Other Players
Let's face it, browsing the digital car lots of Southern San Andreas Super Autos gets old after a while. Here at the LS Car Meet, you get the real deal: rolling works of automotive art, meticulously customized by your peers. Spot a slammed Banshee that looks like it could outrun a cheetah? Or maybe a Vapid Slamvan that'd make Liberace jealous?
Here's how to snag one:
- Make sure your friend (or whoever's selling) has enabled "LS Car Meet Service" in their interaction menu. Basically, it's like giving someone permission to buy your totally sweet ride (don't worry, they won't steal the original).
- Walk up to the car of your dreams and interact with it. A menu will pop up showing the price (based on the base car and all the fancy upgrades).
- Hit purchase and BAM! That ride is yours, delivered to your garage shortly after.
Bonus perk: You and your buddy both get a discount on any future "LS Car Meet Service" purchases. Win-win!
Just a heads up: This trick won't work on weaponized vehicles or anything else deemed a little too "hot" by the game. But hey, there's still plenty of other options!
Test Track Treats: Taking a Showroom Ride Home
Feeling indecisive? The LS Car Meet offers up a rotating selection of beauties on their test track. Take a spin, get a feel for the handling, and if it tickles your fancy, you can buy it right there on the spot! No need to hunt down the owner, just hop out and hit purchase. Easy peasy.
Word to the wise: These test track cars may not be decked out in all the bells and whistles, but they're a great way to try before you buy and expand your collection without the hassle of hunting down specific players.
So there you have it, folks! Forget the sticky fingers and embrace the legal (and way more stylish) way to build your dream garage at the LS Car Meet. Now get out there, show off your new ride, and remember: there's no shame in a little friendly competition on the test track. Just don't blame us if you end up spending all your GTA bucks on chrome rims and spoilers.
