How to sell cars in GTA 5

A new way to make money.

Given its namesake, you’ll often steal vehicles in Grand Theft Auto 5. Not only does it save you cash, it can also provide you with some of the best means of travel through their speed and style.

Then, there’s the option to sell these vehicles, another way to afford the luxuries of Los Santos. Find out how to sell cars in GTA 5. 

How do you sell cars in GTA 5?

Players can only sell cars in GTA Onlineas GTA 5 Story Mode does not have this feature. Enter this mode and head to Los Santos Customs to begin the transaction. Of course, you’ll need to get a vehicle first, so steal a car from some unlucky soul. 

Conveniently, there are four Los Santos Customs locations across the map, including the following areas:

  • Los Santos International Airport
  • La Mesa
  • Burton
  • Grand Senora Desert

You can also use the points of interest on the right side of the map to mark a nearby Los Santos Customs:

While there, drive inside the garage to sell a car in GTA Online. The “Sell” option will be within the Categories section. You’ll get more cash if the vehicle is in proper shape and has additional modifications. So, don’t bang into street light poles before entering the garage.

After selling a car, players won’t be able to sell another one immediately due to its 20-minute cooldown period. If you do so, you’ll see the notification, “Sorry – we don’t need any vehicles right now.” That means you can’t earn cash fast this way, but you can check out our money guide to see other alternatives.
