Keane Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 We already have enough problems with players owning expensive cars where it does not make sense for their characters to own them. It is one of the most frequent issues I deal with as a member of Player Management. There are currently no characters on the server that would realistically be able to own and maintain a super car. I'd even go as far as saying that there are no characters that would realistically be able to afford some of the higher end cars that are available. While there are players will millions on the server, from an in-character perspective these jobs would never make enough money. Some of the richest players are in the LSPD and LSFD for example, when the majority of firefighters and police officers in the USA make under $100,000 a year. Even if they made more than that, it still wouldn't be enough to afford and maintain a super car. The same goes for people who grind script jobs for hours and hours a day. It would not make sense for a miner or police officer to drive around in a super car. Players in general need to realize that the money in the top right corner of their screens is not the amount of money their character would realistically have. If eventually a character pops up that could realistically afford a super car pops up, I'm sure Property Management can be approached about it. Before someone brings it up, the one SultanRS that was given is an exception because it's not really a super car. Rockstar is terrible at classifying cars in GTA V. Link to comment

Jura Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Super cars shouldn't be readily available for anyone to purchase, they should go through the system of writing to whichever admins deal with it, giving a decent sized explanation and back story that would warrant them having a super car, and then they would also take the money for the car (price would depend on economy at the time and the car they've chose) I do feel like more low/mid-range cars should be added.

Warshock Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I would support this through admin hosted vehicle special car auctions. Along with an application or something to give why your character development, background, and such supports it. Also making it where the super cars cannot be traded. Link to comment
Ketamine Kowboy Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Just going to put it out there, no normal mechanic/Bodyshop would work a Bugatti Chiron, for a multitude of reason; most of these being the expenses that come with working on such cars. You'd also not be able to do a simple tire change, you'd need to ship the car off to the factory to get the manufacturer's specific tires fitted since no shop would have a set of $30,000 - $42,000 tires lying about. Supercars would never work, the SultanRS I can understand, it's a custom-built race car, but having an Adder or a Nero doesn't make any sense what so ever. For these reasons, and for multiple reasons listed by the people above me, I'm going to have to say no to this. Link to comment
Pascal Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 We don't have plans to support super cars currently.
