If your goal is pure profit per export in GTA Online, CEO Vehicle Cargo wins by a mile. Top Range cars sold to the Specialist Dealer buyer pay $100,000 gross with a $20,000 mod cost, netting $80,000 per car if you avoid damage. With the 20 minute export cooldown per player, a stocked solo grind reliably lands about 3 sales per hour, or $240,000. With careful stacking and filler activities between cooldowns, many players squeeze closer to $300,000 to $320,000 per hour. Title updates and event weeks can change rates, so confirm the exact numbers in game before planning a grind.
Ranked pick 1 - Top Range Vehicle Cargo exports: Best net per car and best hourly once your warehouse is primed. The loop is simple: fill your Vehicle Warehouse until you have 10 Standard Range and 10 Mid Range cars parked as dupes, then every new source becomes Top Range. Always choose Specialist Dealer for the sale. Multi-vehicle sales with 2 to 4 players let you move several cars per cooldown, preserving the $80,000 net per car while compressing your active time.
Ranked pick 2 - Mid Range and Standard Range Vehicle Cargo: Only move these to build collections or to manipulate your warehouse pool. Mid Range pays up to $62,500 gross with $15,000 cost for about $47,500 net, and Standard Range tops out at $50,000 gross with $10,000 cost for $40,000 net. These are fine cash if you are clearing space, but their time-to-profit loses hard to Top Range. Collections can add a modest bonus if you hold matching sets, but availability and bonus amounts vary by update, so expect only a small bump per car in practice.
Ranked pick 3 - Exotic Exports list and Simeon requests: The Los Santos Tuners Exotic Exports board pays about $20,000 per delivery and a final bonus for completing the list, commonly totaling around $200,000 per day when all 10 are found. Simeon export requests pay in the same ballpark per vehicle. These are convenient side cash while free-roaming, but their hourly rate is typically lower than a focused Vehicle Cargo loop.
The verdict: If you have a Vehicle Warehouse, Top Range to Specialist Dealer is the undisputed money pick. Optimize by maintaining the 10 Standard plus 10 Mid buffer to force Top Range spawns, sell clean to avoid repair deductions, and use associates to run 2 to 4 car exports per cooldown. Expect $80,000 net per car and around $240,000 to $320,000 per solo hour when fully set up, with scope for more during event bonuses.
