If you are asking how much a stolen car sells for in GTA Online, the short answer is: not much. Taking random street cars to Los Santos Customs usually pays a few thousand, with the best sellable models historically landing in the 8k-10k range when sold in good condition. There is also a hard 48-minute real-time cooldown between LSC sales, so you are typically looking at only one sale per hour. Title updates sometimes tweak sellability and payouts, so always confirm in-game before committing a grind loop.

Here is the ranked comparison if you want to turn stolen cars into money efficiently: 1) CEO Vehicle Cargo exports, 2) LS Car Meet Exotic Exports list, 3) Simeon export requests, 4) direct Los Santos Customs sales. Vehicle Cargo is the king because you source a target vehicle, then export it for a large markup. Top Range exports regularly net about 80k profit per car solo after upgrade fees, and experienced players average roughly 150k-300k per hour depending on sourcing speed and whether they run 2-4 car sales with friends.

Second place is the Exotic Exports list from the LS Car Meet update. Find and steal 10 specific cars around the map and deliver them to the docks. Each car typically pays a flat 20k when delivered in good condition, capping at about 200k for a full list per real-life day. Route knowledge and luck with spawns matter, but many players clear the list in 45-90 minutes, which lands near 120k-200k per hour when it goes smoothly.

Simeon export requests are next. He periodically texts a list of wanted vehicles and pays a modest premium for low-damage deliveries to the docks. Expect roughly low five figures per car when pristine, often around 10k-20k. Because lists and traffic RNG vary, the hourly rate swings widely, but a realistic solo pace tends to sit in the 60k-100k per hour range if you chain good spawns.

Last place for profit is straight Los Santos Customs sales of random street cars. Besides the 48-minute cooldown, many high-end or blacklisted vehicles cannot be sold at all, and average sedans or coupes often fetch only 2k-6k. Even if you manage to find one of the better-paying street cars in the 8k-10k band, the cooldown caps you near 10k-12k per hour. That is fine as a quick cash top-up early game, but it is not a competitive money method once you can buy businesses.

Bottom line: if your goal is pure income, treat LSC stolen-car sales as filler money between better activities. Graduate to CEO Vehicle Cargo or at least run Exotic Exports whenever possible. Numbers can shift with title updates, so check payouts in your session and adjust the plan accordingly.

Tips

  • Check sell eligibility before committing: if Los Santos Customs shows no Sell option, switch targets immediately.
  • Minimize damage during delivery. Even small repairs chip a few hundred to a few thousand off the final price.
  • Prioritize high-value street spawns like certain coupes and SUVs in wealthier areas at night to chase 8k-10k sales.
  • Use LSC sales as cooldown fillers while you source CEO Vehicle Cargo or hunt Exotic Exports for better hourly returns.
  • For Exotic Exports, learn common spawn routes in the city center and near the docks to chain quick deliveries.
  • When running Vehicle Cargo, sell only Top Range vehicles by cycling your warehouse inventory to avoid mid-range clutter.
  • If Simeon texts a list, grab the cleanest example of each model and avoid police attention to preserve payout.
