Vehicle Cargo
The main objective of the Import / Export update will be for CEO's to locate rare and exotic cars around the game world, then successfully steal them and bring them back to their hideout. There, they can be repaired and modified, then resold for massive GTA$ profits.
Much like Special Cargo missions (introduced in FAiF&F), vehicle Vehicle Cargo take place in the free-roam open world, and can be intervened with by other players in the session. Rival CEOs who possess vehicle warehouses can claim the vehicle for themselves, or to a nearby police station for a reward. Motorcycle Club members can also collect the vehicle and drop it by a chop shop to sell for scrap.
Stealing Vehicle Cargo
After purchasing a Vehicle Warehouse, CEOs are able to source the location of a valuable car, steal it, then return it to their warehouse to be sold later for profit. To initiate a Steal mission, open the SecuroServ app on the computer in your Executive Office.
While vehicle theft missions all have the same final objective, the scenarios surrounding each mission vary. Some missions will require players to discern the target vehicle's location by analyzing a photograph. Others are simple stick-up robberies, while others can utilize more advanced methods - like stealing a police helicopter to scan the license plate of the target car.
Once acquired, players must get the vehicle back to their warehouse while causing as little damage to the car as possible. If the vehicle takes damage en route back to the warehouse, the cost of repair will automatically be deducted from the eligible resale value of the car. Successfully stealing exotic cars will also unlock new Special Vehicle missions.
Selling Vehicle Cargo
Once acquired, exotic vehicles can be sold via Export missions, which consist of three types: Private Buyers, Showroom Sales or Specialist Dealers. Specialsts and Showrooms call for custom modifications being made to each vehicle, meaning CEOs will have to spend a little extra in order to secure a higher profit margin.
New Garages

In order to store these new, illicityly-obtained vehicles, special Vehicle Warehouses and? Executive Office Garages are available to CEO's, compelte with their own Autobody Shops and customizable décor.
Vehicle Warehouses
New properties called Vehicle Warehouses can be purchased as a CEO from your corporate laptop in your Executive Office. These warehouses, located all over Los Santos and Blaine County, can hold as many as 40 stolen vehicles, and have a wide range of customization options. Each Vehicle Warehouse can also be upgraded with a storage space to house one of the new Special Vehicles as well.
Executive Office Garages
Players can also purchase massive new garages to store and display their personal collection of vehicles in their Executive Office buildings. Purchased on Dynasty 8 Realty, the baseline version is one story and can store 20 vehicles, and can be upgraded with two additional floors to hold up to 60 cars.
Executive garages can also be upgraded to have their own mod shop, which also contain all of the customization upgrades available in Benny's Custom Motor Works.
Special Vehicles
The update will also include several new unique vehicles, which can be used for unique Special Vehicle VIP work. Only one special vehicle may be owned at a time, and they can be traded back to the dealer for discounts on the next one purchased.
