You can sell most cars off the streets at the car mod shops. You can only do this every 30+ minutes or so though.
-A perfect condition Landstalker gets $5800

Anyone got other prices?

I don't know if trains exist but I think hopping in a train under cover would be a good way to ride out a day with a bounty for that achievement. And also make everyone cry while chasing you down.
If even just two players are semi-organized, one grabs a chopper, the other sits gunner in the side.
Two mates and I were placing $1000 bounties on people then hunting them down from the chopper. We ended up with quite a lot of angry players and bounties on our own heads and only buggered off when the cops damaged our chopper too much, then we shot each other to collect the bounties on our heads.

What about shooting and popping out their tires to slow them down?

The "GTA Race" with weapons seems like complete garbage. Get a good start, get out front and be blown up by everyone else for your trouble. Oh, and it takes so long to respawn and get back up to speed you're now guaranteed to come in near last because the races are all so short. If I want vehicular deathmatch I'm better off just pissing people off on the free roam map.
GTA Race is the best :colbert: Go back to Forza/GT if you wanna straight race

The trick to GTA Race starts is to hang to the sides at the start and shoot out tires like a mofo. Blowing up cars just lets them respawn with a new one, if you burst out tires they have to nick a new car, get a repair pick-up or reset manually.
And of course if you're losing and it's a lap-race you can just jam up an area with buses/cars and shoot everyone as they come by.

Really guys. If some jerkoff is chasing you and harassing you in Free-Roam, shoot out the tires to their car if possible. It forces them to either nick a new car to follow you or repair their ride.
Also don't forget to buy Bulletproof tires when you unlock them :v:

Wow Rockstar, you are loving turds. Maybe instead of loving turning off Mission Replay just lower the rewards for the missions they're exploiting?
Fail/Finishing a mission and your loving Vote Screen is just 2-3 team Grab-snatches, lovely LTS and just more races. So if you want to do another mission you have to drop out, load, select a mission, load, invite friends, load, start mission, load.

If you get a police van you can get people to sit in the back with the door and shoot. The Cargobob can pick up the Police Van with your crew sitting in the back of the van. GTA physics do not like carrying poilce vans with crew mates in it.

It's a shame you have to get up to Rank 20+ to start unlocking the more fun missions and extra free-roam stuff. Also how often do the Security Vans spawn?

The first SMG is painful, yeah, since you only get 16 bullets until you get extended mag. The MP5 is a good replacement until you get the AK.
Psssh, the only thing the AK does better is have longer lock-on range (but you still get pistol sniped by the AI), the SMG/MP5 is accurate for more than three shots.

This No-Replay stuff wouldn't be as large of an issue if you could select proper bloody missions from the Mission Vote screen instead of Single Round Counter Strike, Most Toys Wins (Team)Deathmatch, Mandatory Wave Defence Hide & Seek Mode and several buckets full of Races. At least more races unlock as you level up I guess. :sigh:

The removal of replaying a successful mission is annoying because if my team has taken 3 tries to finish it and finally do, I'd like to jump back in and try it again. Instead I have to sit through a loading screen, vote I want out, load, call up for missions, load, wait for players, load again to finally start the mission!
And the biggest reason why I'm replaying these missions is because I want to play missions! I don't want to play races! I don't want Deathmatches! Missions! I want to play your content! Put loving missions on the Job Voting screen!

While I totally agree with you and find the co-op missions the most fun, "story-wise" it isn't really realistic. The Contact missions are supposed to be one-time interactions, Gerald doesn't need a big bag of coke every ten minutes and Martin isn't supposed to want the same guy assassinated ten times in a row.
It stems more from if you want to play a mission that Tony 'Gerald' Montana or Martin gives, you have to go through several loading screens to get another go to anything. So it was easier just to restart the mission and play it again.
If the missions were on a random pick-list you'd have less grinding. Finish Violent Duct then it loads you into Flooding the LS River (or whatever) then finishing that switches you to Death Metal.

2. I also am being "kicked" from any game (deathmatch, free roam) with more than 2 other players.
