Cheap to buy, $400k ish to start the lowrider process, then it's going to be like 30k-250k per mod depending on what you put into it. Hydraulics alone are $230k ish for the top upgrade.
Was interested in playing again when I saw the trailer, but with ridiculous prices like that there's no point. I don't want to have to grind heists to afford mods for mediocre vehicles.

Well that info has made me a hell of a lot less excited for this update. $400k just to be allowed to mod the cars in the first place. I don't even have that much money.

Well, they gotta sell shark cards somehow! :v:

It's going to be like $1.5-$2 mil per lowrider depending how insane you are, really.

(calling it, the cars will cost $1.5 million at the low end to buy and fully customize)

awwww yeah

Let's put something together for this, I'm trying to do the first Lamar mission, 4-players mandatory and instant mission failure if anyone dies. After a few attempts this morning I have zero tolerance for trying this with pubbies.

I'd say it's more like 1mil at the low end, per car.

The good news it that because the actual car cost is next to nothing you can blow up peoples fancy lowriders all day and hardly spend and insurance money.

I don't even know if the first one's bad or not because the pubbies somehow die in the first 2 minutes.

yeah I wanted that so bad too but the faction is more like the buick GNX as has been mentioned in this thread

rockstar should have brought back the majestic from GTA SA; that's the one that more closely resembles the Monte Carlo featured prominently in training day

edit: Also hellfaucet I love you but that faction looks repulsive imo

Not sure if the Lamar missions are harder than heists or if this is just what it's like to play with pubbies.

After decking out a Faction I want to play GTAIV again. I also want to pimp out a Moonbeam but ran out of cash modding my Voodoo and Faction. Can't be arsed to play heists with pubbies either. May end up buying a shark card. :shepspends:

Too many cause they're all bad. They seem fun if you could actually play with your friends instead of getting forced into matchmaking with randoms.

Lowriders and the new clothes are great though. This update delivered for me in so many ways. The only thing I really wish it had was some new haircuts apart from the god awful corn rows.

Unless I'm missing something the new clothes are lame. One style of jacket in different colors, one style of hoodie in different colors, 2 new pairs of tennis shoes, some earrings, and necklaces.

I'm disappointed that the "B" bomber jacket doesn't have a brown variant for a Hotline Miami costume but beyond that I like the new clothes. They're all garish as gently caress and are exactly what I want my dude wearing when I get in a modded bouncing car.

Hey nice, car upgrades now unlock by level too. I've been playing on my 2nd character and was dreading having to grind out race wins.

Uh, half of them have unlocked by level since the game came out in 2013. You sure you're not just looking at those?

Yeah I could be confused!. Did for example turbo always unlock at Level 100?

No, Rockstar made more stuff unlock by rank now. It's in the patch notes.

Changes to Performance Mod Unlocks: Performance mods are now more accessible and unlock by rank, as well as via Race wins.

Also from the patch notes

Further weapon rebalancing tweaks have been made based on community feedback. The damage and accuracy of the AP Pistol have been slightly reduced to bring it in line with similar automatic weapons.

Taking out police choppers from the Kuruma just got a bit more complicated.

So wait, MORE car upgrades are tied to rank now? Or are they tied to rank OR race wins? It was so much easier to unlock more poo poo by trading race wins than grinding out levels. If a bunch of poo poo is locked away now because I'm only level 41 than gently caress you, Rockstar.

Rank or wins. You can still grind out the engine upgrades at level 5 if you want.
