[soubhikmandal999]

Hii.. today I buy and download gta v for the first time... And goes to gta online there i got a option on buying cars in legendary sports website... Which is trade price and buy it now price..what is it..? And which price should I give to buy the car... Should I have to do any mission in trade price.. and if do then what if I am not completing the mission?

When you point the lock it says how to unlock the trade price (aka lower price). For example you need to do 10 nightclub delivery missions to unlock custom pounder's lower price. All unlocks are pretty much different.

I'm aiming at the "Karin Sultan RS" trade price. It says it will unlock when my LS Car Meeting reputation is high enough but I don't know how high it should be. Lvl 22 and it's still locked.

But if you really want something immediately just buy it with normal price.

At the beginning I wouldn't spend too much money on vehicles because you can get good free cars on the site aswell. Though get Bati 801. It's only 15k. And free Duke with some upgrades will help you a lot.

The bati 801 is a really great bike, we rode the heck out of it but then finally got deluxo's, yeah they are a little cheesy, but with all the driving left and right to just see whats on a computer, or using that boring master terminal, they really save time, and are an easy escape from high level cops.

i really wish they would have put access to all your business "computers" right on the phone with the exception of the "resupply" or "deliver" type stuff that actually has to start at the location itself. want to see how much is in the NC safe to make sure it isnt capacity, drive all the way there... want to check weed farm supplies go to MC... blah...

The driving is a little much which makes it more of a chore than fun IMO, when i really enjoy the driving is just rolling around in a custom low rider to bounce and look silly (and piss my wife off) or just crusing around checking out G's stash or looking for gang wars, all the money making just makes sense to make point A to B as quick as possible and hope the sell missions are fun ones.

I know i went off topic. had the same question as you.

Trade price you get for completing some task, or multiple versions of that task or whatever, if you see a padlock it will tell you. the regular price most of the times anyone can get.

when i first saw it i was like WHAT, trade in! my current personal vehicle! no way, but i was thinking too much like buying new cars, you dont lose anything. just are given the opportunity to get a cheaper price furthering gameplay.

That being said trading in properties is exactly what it says, you lose your old one, and sometimes i think you forefit all upgrades, however i have never done this to test it as one seems just as good as another.

oh BTW if you get to the point to buy a Hangar, defiantly choose one at the military base, i found it gives you level 1 access (they wont try to shoot you just for flying over them and you can walk around freely)

think of trade like trade skill.. or an industry trade.. once you've done the work for/with the vehicle, you have experience with the trade and therefore unlock the discount price as someone in that trade..

anyone not in the trade would have to use buy now to pay the full price..

you get a discount every 5 levels, but its randomly picked from the lot. So you just gotta grind it out and hope you get it early.

And don't forget to try your luck with Casino's wheel every day. I won Powersurge couple days ago (maybe now my new favourite vehicle in the game).

And also one of the best super cars in the game you can get free and that is just playing through "the drug wars" content and you also get a cheap acid lab business as well.
