¶ Introduction
One of the easiest and most affordable ways of making money in this game is to do exactly what the title of it says : Grand Theft Auto !
In this server, criminals can steal vehicles from NPCs or vehicle that are parked on the street. They can then either export them illegally at the docks 
in Elysian Island for a good pay out but with the cost of being wanted by cops after that. The amount of money you receive depends on the rarity of the vehicle.
Or if they are older / less valuable vehicles you scrap them at one of the 8 Scrapyards 
for less money but without the risk of a wanted level (as long as the cops don't see you steal the vehicle).
¶ Exporting illegal vehicles
High-value vehicles can be brought to an export point in Elysian Island, aka “The Docks" to export them illegally for a good money reward. But doing so can be quite risky with the docks being a red zone and when exporting you will get a 2★ “Illegal vehicle export” felony, and the cops will be called to your position.
¶ How to export ?
When you get inside a car that can be exported to the docks , you will get a prompt on the top-left of your screen telling you “You can export this vehicle for $[amount of money]" which also allows you to press Y in order to have a GPS destination set to the export point.
You will then have to head to the export point at docks, then once you are there you will have to drive your stolen vehicle into the export circle (red circle) and press Y while being inside the vehicle : doing so will kick you out of the vehicle, make it vanish and give you your reward depending on the state of the vehicle (damage will lower the reward). You will also receive a 2★ “Illegal vehicle export” felony.
Some things to keep in mind while exporting :
- Docks is a red zone: That means every other criminal can “camp” the export point and kill you in order to take your car and export it for themselves instead of having to go search for one.
- You can only export once every 5 minutes: If you try to export another vehicle before the 5 minutes cooldown ends, nothing will happen and you will just get stuck for ≈3 seconds on a black screen, making you vulnerable to other players.
- You are unable to export if police are nearby: If a police officer is in a ≈20m range around the export point, you cannot export a vehicle. You will have to either wait for them to get away, or kill them to export the vehicle.
¶ Most Wanted Vehicle
Each 24h in-game (a full in-game day) at 5:00am, a random vehicle will be chosen to be a “Most Wanted Vehicle” or “MWveh” for short : the first to export this specific vehicle will get a bonus reward for exporting it, but this only applies for the first time that the vehicle is exported : after it is exported once the vehicle will return to giving the regular export reward.
You can check which vehicle is the most wanted vehicle at anytime by typing /mwveh in the chat.
If anybody finds the most wanted vehicle, everyone will receive a notification which states who found the vehicle and the location that the vehicle has been found at. Because it is a most wanted vehicle, every non-emergency player can hunt you down and kill you to take the vehicle for themselves, making it a high-risk, high-reward vehicle to export.
When somebody is driving the most wanted vehicle there will be a green marker above the vehicle, making it pretty easy to spot.
If the most wanted vehicle hasn't been exported after 24h (at 5:00am the next day), its export reward value will be increased up to 5 times (5 days). After that if it still hasn't been exported, the most wanted vehicle will change and a new vehicle will become the most wanted vehicle. A most wanted vehicle can reach up to $1,000,000 in its export reward value.
A successful most wanted vehicle export will give a green notification to everyone which will state the amount of money that the most wanted vehicle was exported for.
Some things to note about most wanted vehicle :
- Emergency players cannot see what the most wanted vehicle is. They can't do the /mwveh command and they won't be notified every day at 5:00am when the most wanted vehicle changes. They will still get notified if someone finds it.
- The green marker appears above everyone, even emergency players. You are authorised to kill them if they are driving the most wanted vehicle in order to take it for yourself.
¶ Tips & Tricks
→ Look for high-end vehicles like supercars or luxurious vehicles : the more valuble a car is, the harder it will be to find, but the export reward will be higher.
→ Be careful of ambushes at Docks, especially when you have the most wanted vehicle : players are going to wait for you to come export your vehicle, either by blocking the export point with heavy vehicles like trucks, or by taking a vantage point like the roof nearby to kill you from a safe distance.*

¶ Scrapping vehicles
Some vehicles, most of the time older vehicles or more common, lower value vehicles, cannot be exported to docks, but can instead be brought to a scrapping yard to get money in exchange for scrapping and destroying the car.
¶ How to scrap vehicles ?
When you get inside a vehicle that can be scrapped, you will get a prompt on the top-left of your screen telling you “You can scrap this vehicle for $[amount of money]" which also allows you to press Y in order to have a GPS destination set to the nearest scrapyard on the map.
Each scrapyard has their own prices for scrapping the vehicles, the price you get on the GPS prompt is the price for the nearest scrapyard : here are the bonuses of each scrapyard based on the lowest value scrapyard:
- Rancho scrapyard (2/8) : no bonuses (lowest amount of money)
- Strawberry (3/8) : ≈x1.16 more value.
- La Puerta (1/8) : ≈x1.25 more value.
- El Burro Heights (4/8) & La Mesa (5/8) : ≈x1.37 more value
- Los Santos International Airport (6/8) : ≈x1.53 more value
- Paleto Bay (8/8) : ≈x1.63 more value
- Sandy Shores (7/8) : ≈x1.68 more value
You will then have to head to the scrapyard, then once you are there you will have drive your stolen vehicle into the scrap circle (red circle) and press Y while being inside your vehicle : doing so will kick you out of the vehicle, make it vanish and give you your reward (same reward regardless of the state of the vehicle). You won't get any wanted level for scrapping a vehicle.
There is a 5 minute delay between scrapping vehicles, just like the export at Docks.
¶ Tips & Tricks
→ Focus on spots 4/8 & 5/8 when at the east of the city, or spot 6/8 when at the center or west of the city : these spots give the best bonus in the city while not being far from each other, which means it's worth going to these spots for more money, especially because of the 5 minutes delay between scraps.
→ Steal parked cars instead of carjacking civilians : if there is no alarm on the vehicles, you won't get a wanted level so you will be able to scrap peacefully and legally.
→ Scrapping is a good thing to do while waiting for the 5 minutes delay between exports at the Docks.
