Barn Map Farming

[Highway Hunter]

Barns are a great way to get vehicles alongside the scrapyard. But I was wondering is there a good way to farm for these Barn maps? I know you get one on level up and can possibly get one from cases, but is there a good way to farm them decently quickly?

Auctions are another good place for random cars.
You get Barn locations randomly from crates. You get those crates from doing repair jobs not restos.

Not really, everything you have named is how you get the maps,

Seems like everything I buy (parts) at a barn I sell for same price. So with the $100 visit charge there's no profit. Am I doing something wrong?

Do you repair those parts. don't buy junk under 15%

Only buy repairable parts, and be aware that some parts only pay you the money you spent to repair them when you sell them, so you don't profit from them in a big way. The nice thing about barn parts is that they tend to be higher a %, so there's less chance of a fail on the repair. If you stick to parts that pay like Engine Blocks and Transm,issons and such, you can make out quite well. Body parts and Rims pay out some. Leave the glass and lights alone, save any common parts for restorations.

Once you have the lucky perk, you can make quite a few cases in a relatively short time doing quick jobs like Exhaust or Transmissions. Many cases makes for decent chance of maps. I have so many maps and barns to go through...

Honestly, I just buy the cars and turn them over. With so much money in the bank I can't be bothered to nickle and dime the parts game. I save that for challenges like trying to build a car with all used parts and no repair table allowed.

Cheers..!

Some times I buy a low mileage car from the junkyard and try find a good donor car from a barn with high miles and basically just "transplant" to the lower mileage car, replacing what's needed or doing little upgrades and repairs depending on what car it is, and selling the other for scrap.

Barn cars are usualy more expensive then junkers tho, i also find there milage and price tag alot higher in barns. Junkers are good for repairing spare parts or when you feel like shinning something old up.
If your looking to seriously flip cars you need to look for low miles and have high quality parts replace standard stock parts. You need to farm a fair amount of crates to get the parts you need as its all random and there are thousands of parts.
Buy a Lambo in a junkyard your looking at 50K or under buy one in a barn you could still pay upto couple hunderd thousand.

Would of cost me a bit if i bought it in a barn as the frames are in better condition in barns then junkyards.
