Thanks to Ernie, I finally found the bodyless sandrail (dune buggy).

Unfortunately, it can't be painted. :angry:  It has some performance mods available but no visual ones. I will still keep it and sell the bodied one but I am very disappointed. I wanted to paint it the light blue crew color because I had a baby blue sand rail in real life back in the mid 90's.

I couldn't find the original photo so these are photos of a color copy that is in a plastic frame in my garage.

And for those of you that remember the old Toyota ads from back then...

There is a glitch/bug/oversight by R* that allows to further increase the value of any car.  Go into LSC, hover over the suspension options a couple of times, no need to buy anything. Then go to Horns and select Sad Trombone.  It should be free of charge.  Then sell the vehicle with an increased profit.  E.g a Baller selling for 9k will now sell for 22k.

 

FYI - not sure how Rockstar updated the selling price of the vehicle with the free Sad Trombone horn upgrade without fixing the actual glitch, but it's been reduced.  A Baller previously sold for 22k with the horn, it now sells for 15k.

Thanks all for the info on the rare cars.  I might go after these more often, even though Ballers spawn constantly.  So much so that I bought a garage just to keep them so I can sell them whenever I have a window.  :)

I grabbed the Sand rail as well last night, dunno if I will keep it yet. I am reevaulating my garages and some of the stuff I never drive.

The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

These are not upgraded and can't be stored but I thought it was interesting to find DLC cars in traffic in GTAO. I don't know if anyone knew about this.

Canis Mesa Off Road.

 

This is the general purpose vehicle the Merry Weather Mercenaries use.

 

Since it reminds me of my '71 Land Rover Series III that I set up for rock crawling, I have wanted one as soon as I saw one.

Scouring Google, I found through oChaoticRavenger  that there are two ways of getting one of these in your garage...

 

One involves hiring the Merry Weather Mercenaries to snuff someone and taking them out before they kill the target.

 

The other is free, aside from the time spent...

 

The vehicles spawn during a gang attack in North Chumash between the hours of 8pm and midnight.

They spawn after midnight as well, but when I grabbed the vehicle I gained 3 stars and it seemed that the whole military base deployed after me, so be ready for that if you are running late. =)

 

First you need to ensure that your personal vehicles are all in your garage(s). If you have a personal vehicle on the map when you initiate the gang attack you will not be able to get this vehicle into your garage.

 

Then head down to the location shown below and take out the Mercenary Gang, but be careful not to destroy the Mesas on the beach.

Once you have cleaned the gang, the vehicles become unlocked and you can drive them away.

***Important*** Since these are special vehicles, you can modify them but are not able to store them in your garage directly. What you need to do is: park the vehicle on a job marker; step out of the vehicle; select Host Job from the job menu; and when the job screen loads, back out.

 

When you load back into the session you were in, look around for the Mesa and get in.

 

Now you can drive it to your garage, customize, insure and cruise the beaches in your very own Canis Mesa Off Road.

Sweet! I've been trying to get one. I didn't know about the marker thing. I'll try this out. Thanks.

 

Found this Custom Bifta at the beach near the Military Base.

I read about this when GTA V came out on PS4. People were saying it's because the DLC cars are now "in the game" as normal cars and for that reason they spawn online (game mechanics or something). Not sure how this will be for any new DLC cars coming in the future.

Saw this info in GTAforums and thought it might be useful for anyone short on cash!

 

As you know the gang car and pre-customized car values have been raised with the Heists DLC. Here are some values listed (from GTAforums):

 

Gang Tornado 32k / 43k

Gang Manana 34k

Gang Peyote 36k

Gang Buccaneer 34k  

 

No idea about the other pre-customized car values but they are increased as well! 

 

Personally I found one Gang Peyote last night and its stored right now. I'll start taking them off the streets everytime I see them spawning. Seems like an easy way to make money.

Wish they were worth that much when I was a broke-ass, low level noob.  :lol:

 

I read somewhere that the gold & chrome Dubsta's are now worth about around 53k, but they spawn in a different place.

 

Yea I also saw somewhere that the gold Dubsta would sell for 60k. Unfortunately I don't know when and where they spawn (I've only found a customized Dominator in East LS). The gang cars however are so easy to get ...

Wow, and I thought I just lucked out.  I just sold one of my chrome pre-customized Dubstas for $67K.  Mind you, I did the Sad Trombone horn trick on it a while back so that may account for some extra $$.

 

Don't know about the horn but there's already a new glitch that gives 21K profit from buying/selling a vehicle. Guess those will come and go. I'll stick to legit ways :)

Can you Tracker/Insure that and what's the best car to use to make it spawn? I really want one of those.

No you can't store it or anything. I tried and it didn't work for me. It spawns on the beach near Fort Zancudo. I'm not sure exactly what time but when it starts to get dark, maybe around 22:00 in game time. You will see 2 guys on dirtbikes or ATVs.

 

If you go towards Paleto Bay, it will be the beach on the left side after you go through the tunnel, pass the food stand.
