Step-by-Step Walkthrough
Steal a Vehicle
To start selling cars, you need to acquire a vehicle. You can either steal a car from the streets, or use your own vehicle. Keep in mind that higher-end cars yield better profits, so aim for luxury or sports cars.
Pro tip: Look for high-end vehicles in wealthy areas like Vinewood.
Customize the Car
Once you have a car, head to Los Santos Customs. Here, you can customize the vehicle with upgrades such as paint jobs, spoilers, and performance enhancements. Customizing a car can significantly increase its resale value.
Pro tip: Choose customizations that enhance the car's aesthetics and performance for maximum profit.
Sell the Car at Los Santos Customs
After customizing the vehicle, return to Los Santos Customs. Approach the counter and select the option to sell the car. Keep in mind that you can only sell a car every 48 minutes in-game, so plan your sales accordingly.
Pro tip: Avoid selling cars that are too damaged, as they will fetch a lower price.
Repeat the Process
Continue stealing, customizing, and selling cars to build your wealth. Focus on the most valuable cars and keep an eye out for special vehicles that can provide a higher return on investment.
Pro tip: Consider forming a crew with friends to speed up the car acquisition process.

What About Vehicle Damage?
Vehicle damage affects resale value, so it's best to avoid selling cars that are heavily damaged. Make sure to repair any damage at Los Santos Customs before selling. If a car is too damaged, consider using it for races or missions instead.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Don't sell cars too frequently; you need to wait for the cooldown period. Also, avoid selling cars that are too old or that have a low market value. Focus on newer models or special vehicles to ensure profitable sales.
