Put your money in the bank. Go to your phone > internet > money > Maze Bank.

You'll be able to deposit all your money there. You hardly ever need money on you.

After 2 street races (1v1) I thought I'd do a mugging (as you do) and found at the moment of robbin' I had no bullets left.

It's just not on for a decent fellow to be drained like this!

How it differs between 500-750 probably is dependant on how you died. I got run over and that was towards the lower amount, always different amounts though. I fell to my death a few times trying to scale (and succeeded) Mount Josiah, these cost the upper amounts around 750.

Got myself a 2 car garage and 2 Nissan GTR's

First time trying to log on to Online since it was released.

Created my character (annoyingly the third time I have done this, also only once did it recognise the link between my PSN and the R* Social Club) and got dumped straight into a free roam lobby, floating down just behind the Vinewood sign. Nicked a car, tried to do a job or find where this first race thing was and nothing. Deposited my cash at an ATM and then got shot up by someone on a freeway. Tried to rob a petrol station, and that failed. Then everyone left, so I decided to join another lobby and then it kicked into the Lamar cutscene.

However I was able to go to the blue dot to start the race, but then it just hung waiting for other racers. About 5 minutes went by and nothing so I had to quit out completely.

I can see there is huge potential there, but they need to do a lot of work to get it stable, let alone running smoothly for all customers

Cheapest two car garage is only ~$26,000

Edit: Oh, and you can sell cars you steal at an LS Customs once a day, most I've got from a sale is $8,000 from some convertable.
They don't want to buy the high end vehicles though, I tried :(

Update: I play with another member of my crew, a RL friend. We've amassed about $300k between us, he's purchased a house with a 6 car garage and I've got 4 different garages. Got about $60k left.

Tips: Paying $100 to not be shot at is useless, don't bother, they'll run you over anyway.

Memorise the City as most simeon missions are located there and you are instantly pursued by police usually at a 3* level, you want to know where the nearest multi-storey car park is and gun it.

You'll get a 30% XP bonus if you do missions as a crew.

The Range Rover is the car that sells for $9000 at LS customs. You can sell a vehicle every 24 hours in game.

Helicopters frequently spawn at the Helipad location that can be found in the single player. Just off the beach.

Auto-Aim makes all shooting combat hopeless so unless you're bounty hunting try not to engage players otherwise you'll just be killing him, being killed by him and so on, there's little to no skill involved.

As I've said above, the Elegy RH8 is free in game when you've purchased a garage and linked your gamertag or PSN ID to your Rockstar Social Club. (Nissan GTR replica)

After level 10, You can have a bounty placed on your head by NPC's for randomly stealing cars. If you're in a crew, have your mate shoot you and half the pot. Dirty but a quick and effective way to make a quick $.

Will post more later.

Hopefully doing the above will help me make some bread asap!

So why do you need a garage, seems expensive so what do you get in return?, just that nissan car or what?

Yes, i agree. I've done the Meth job a couple of times, and I can see it's a bare bones simple job... but i like it!

I can only imagine the fun we can have doing a armed truck or a full heist within and part of a crew!...... ;)

The high end cars can only be kept with a garage. They can't be stolen off the street and insured. With a garage you also get a mechanic at the cost of $50 a day and he'll maintain your cars and deliver them directly to you with a quick call. Cars you legitimately purchase are automatically insured and tracked.

Also:

Always bank your money! You lose a % of your cash when you die or get arrested, so make sure you always deposit it ASAP. Use the bank link on your phone's internet rather than an actual ATM, to avoid being mugged.

I'll try it anyway, but I fear that the Rockstar Cloud Servers have screwed up *again*.

I've got about $30k in the bank and the $31k 2 car garage, and still rocking my Futo, which annoyingly wasn't the car that I got the free Simeon mods for.

Robbing stores, selling cars and doing a few missions and grabbing one or two of those cars Simeon wants when you're in free roam

It's the tools who all they want to do is shoot anyone else they see, and/or camp out LS Customs to gun anyone down that cost me money in medical bills :mad:

This is what came out, mission is 'Where credit's due' from Simeon, quick and simple way of completing it. Annoyed I'm only seeing an option of 480p when I uploaded a 720p file over 800mb in size. I'm going to sort out my editing software later and see if I can get this right.

Edit: 720p appeared. I really want to get it to 1080 though but Rockstar may have to patch the game for that. Is it choppy for anyone else at 1080?
