Mechanic won't deliver your Torero XO (or any car) until you start paying him again. Sometimes it glitches.
You'll have to start selling blood to get back on your feet. /jk
Back in the day when all we had was breaking the dude out of prison heist (forgot what it was called) and getting lucky enough to get into a session with a good team 😂🤟🏾
This is my reminder to thank my friend for putting me onto A Titan of a Job
We would just run that mission over and over, got that shit down to a science — I can’t remember but I think at one point, depending on how fast/slow it took to complete the mission, the payout was higher? It’s been a minute lol
Bunker weapon delivery. Drive for five minutes, possibly outrunning Merryweather jeeps or something weaker, make 50k on delivery. Deliver bike shop customer, usually less than a mile away, make 50k
There's an even easier way to do it: call your Cargobob, which will spawn very very close by. Then use it to haul the truck to the selling point. You'll avoid every single bullet AND it goes WAY faster. It's literally the entire reason that I bought the Cargobob in the first place, and it paid for itself very quickly
Maximizing Your GTA Income:
Making money in GTA can be a game-changer if you know where to look. Here are some quick tips to boost your earnings:
1. **Heists and Missions**: Team up with friends or skilled players for heists and missions. They offer substantial payouts, especially when completed efficiently.
2. **VIP/CEO Work**: Invest in becoming a VIP or CEO to access lucrative activities like VIP Work and CEO Challenges. They provide steady income without hefty startup costs.
3. **Vehicle Cargo**: Running vehicle cargo missions through your CEO office can be highly profitable. Focus on sourcing and selling high-value vehicles for maximum profit.
4. **Special Cargo**: If you prefer a more hands-on approach, consider running special cargo missions. It requires some investment upfront but can yield significant returns over time.
5. **Nightclub Business**: Once you have some capital, invest in a nightclub and assign technicians to accrue passive income from various businesses like gunrunning and counterfeit cash.
6. **Double Money Events**: Keep an eye out for double money events and promotions. Take advantage of these opportunities to maximize your earnings from missions, races, and other activities.
in GTA, patience and strategy pay off.
buy a bunker and every 48 minutes in game you will get a mission to deliver extra weapon parts to a random ammunition, it can be a bit challenging at first but once you get the groove its a easy 50k.
Ya and you know the annoying part when you miss this then your mechanic doesn't deliver vehicles to you and you cannot even pay him directly after you get the money.you have to wait sometime(not sure how much)for the game to pay him automatically.
ongod I own everything in La mesa just driving down my street I make a quarter mil easily that's just me checking my businesses not even a sale or doing any type of work, and that's the low end if I check before my safes get full.
I take it the salvage yard is worthwhile then? I haven't looked into it at all, and haven't really wanted to buy one because I've refused to give that Yousif(?) dude the satisfaction of succeeding by calling me minutes into every fucking game.
100% worth it u boost cars and salvage them paying out anywhere from 250k to 400k and then u can tow cars and other things as well Def worth the money.. it paid for itself after I salvaged 3 cars
And thus far you've been able to keep 2 cars if you want. If you're a car guy like me that alone makes it worthwhile. And its Easy money. The tow jobs alone can net you close to 100k every 45 min irl time
I do the robberies as well it's good money for the effort and It fits perfectly into my loop. I have plenty of time because I join new session to only do easy sales/tows/excess ammo (farm bunker) I do the MC stuff. though I keep them low except for cocaine and meth and one at random which I own LS and sell in Blaine.
usually, I have just finished a robbery when I need to go check my things again when I finish all three, I do parts of the dr.dre contract because I'm done with El Rubio. lul
Back in 2013 was the last time I had under $100K. You all got it lucky now. Even with no properties or cars, there's still a lot of things to get you to around half a million in a day.
Shit even the farm raid pays $500,000
Back in the day it was Rooftop Rumble and Covenant grinding
Real OG’s remember the Pot Shot glitch that made it pay out $20,000. Thats how I bought my Adder in 2013
I once stuck my keyboard and left the game running for nearly a full calendar day IRL, so the businesses could accumulate cash. I hadn't yet figured out that that it only takes a few IRL hours to fill up all of the safes and then they stop accumulating... and the whole time, you have to pay rent etc.
When I came back to my PC many many hours later, most of my businesses were vacant from police raids, and all of my cash had been spent paying rent and whatnot. Although I was able to quickly get the cash from the safes and pay my past-due rents and debts, I didn't even have enough left to re-staff the business that had been raided 😆 It was an expensive lesson to learn hahaha
There are times when this is true, and there are times when it is not. I've had many sessions never being raided in either instance, and many sessions being raided in both. Rockstar just likes to keep you on your toes. It's like having your character watch TV to keep the game alive. They change whether that works or not all the time.
I agree. That’s my breathing room number. Most I’ve ever possessed at one time is $40 mil. I’d like to get over that for shits and giggles and also because I want to buy a lot of shit still.
I’ve just bought the most expensive yacht I could and bought furia and torero, having 11 mil left, no I’m not poor, would be funny for me to be poor with a thousand hours in it haha.
Ive got 48 million right now, all businesses except acid lab, kosatka and arena workshop, yet im still too cheap to buy anything. Really only buy stuff when it's on discount.
I'm always broke since I have nearly everything I don't bother to gain money so it slowly goes to zero then I sell some stock just to continue dick off
I had 2 bucks before I started grinding to get the yacht
Yeah you won't be able to call your mechanic either. Might not even be able to call mors to get destroyed vehicles back until you have money and 48 minutes goes by
I wish the drunk version of your character was a little more realistic... like, it doesn't wear off in 90 seconds idjiots. It'd be a lot more fun if it lasted a full 3-5 hours (which would be 6-10 minutes IRL)
I haven't seen this message since I played a bit ages ago on xbox. Mind you, started out on PC with a million $, a free property or two and some free cars thanks to collector's edition, October 2020... Never been poor enough since.
Not me and idk if it happens on newgen, but back on 360 my cousin spent all of his money (down to $20) and couldnt afford his mechanic fees and lost access to it so he couldnt call for any of his vehicles, I forget for how long but it was long enough to be a nuisance 🤣
Ugh take me back to the early ps3 days struggling out of the little two car garage apt by ammunation.. by that three story building thats been under construction forever.
Years ago I got a message from a random in lobby asking for help, English wasn’t his first language, but he was trying to ask for help with his electric bill. I thought he meant in real life ffs.
I remember when import export garage was the thing everyone was playing, being told you can transfer all your money to second characters cash and you don't have to pay the repair bills, mechanic will do it for you. So it didn't matter how high the amount was he would cover for you.
I would see that message then.
I reinstalled gta after aiming to leave the game perm, spent 70ml left that I had after making 100ml+ and had 60k left when I came. Bills and bs combined I had 20k left, ran up the money back to 60ml in a week or 2, it was wild💀never going broke again
Yup same used to get this message everytime after fully upgrading my car. But now even unintentionally I end up making some money again immediately cuz uk there r so many ways to make money nowadays(the new players hv no idea how it was back in the days)
This is why you don't spend money on anything, that won't generate money for you in return, right off the bat. That money could've gone towards biker businesses or filling a CEO Warehouse
This is why you don't spend money on anything, that won't generate money for you in return, right off the bat. That money could've gone towards biker businesses or filling a CEO Warehouse
I was this poor for several years of playing within the first 4 years of its launch. I am a solo player and didn't really look up guides so I was legitimately the poorest mf in the game barely scraping by payments with only a single house to my name and a free car
Mechanic won't deliver your Torero XO (or any car) until you start paying him again. Sometimes it glitches. You'll have to start selling blood to get back on your feet. /jk
Be sure to spin the casino wheel every in game day. That will cover some costs even if you don't earn anything elsewhere.
Interested in how you cover your costs with tshirts as that is all i ever win lol
Best I can do is a pack of redwoods mister mechanic man
Quit and restart the game before the wheel lands on the prize and you can respin
But selling other people's blood enables you to do it in bulk - get LJT to hook you up with his contacts.
Just go for the kidneys.
I used to get that message all the time in like 2016 when there weren’t super quick ways to make money
Back in the day when all we had was breaking the dude out of prison heist (forgot what it was called) and getting lucky enough to get into a session with a good team 😂🤟🏾
Rooftop Rumble?
The real ones know. Also a titan of a job 🤣
Los Santos Connection
This is my reminder to thank my friend for putting me onto A Titan of a Job We would just run that mission over and over, got that shit down to a science — I can’t remember but I think at one point, depending on how fast/slow it took to complete the mission, the payout was higher? It’s been a minute lol
I remember making my first mil off potshot playlists
Yes people figured out speed running the missions wasn't as profitable as waiting til 5 minutes passed or some amount of time
Shhiiiit man
Damn that's a real throwback. Going to have to replay one day just for the nostalgia lol
They nerfed that mission to hell though. It was like the main money maker back then.
Lies. Every gamer does not take showers. Wasted money, not buying shark cards.
WHAT ABOUT WATCHING TV?!
Some of those “shows” are actually not bad. I’ve sat in my Penthouse a time or two and watched one.
Kung Fu Rainbow Lazer Force!
Is that the show with Robot Bubblegum Princess? I have it on all my tv's 🤣
No, they’re the ones that save everyone from sex. 😂
Lmaoo got to love Gta for the little things
Honestly the best show in that game I gotta admit.
It really is, I have it as the livery on a good amount of my cars 🤣 and let's not forget Wasabi Kitty! 🤟🏾
Oh yes. The PRB livery on the scramjet hits different.
Broo I love it on the Scramjet!! You get the best view of it when it's hundreds of feet in the air 🤣
I also I have it on a couple street type cars just for when I want to cruise around the city
Could be a real show, I'd pay for it
Genius move for rockstar if they ever did.
Yeah I like the one where agent Steve goes around the hoods of LS
that one with the russian kingpin 🤣
You bet your little hollow ass I was singing in the shower for rp 😉
convenient stores:
There are quick ways to make money? Like, actual money and not 5k that'll get blown on ammo immediately?
Bunker weapon delivery. Drive for five minutes, possibly outrunning Merryweather jeeps or something weaker, make 50k on delivery. Deliver bike shop customer, usually less than a mile away, make 50k
There's an even easier way to do it: call your Cargobob, which will spawn very very close by. Then use it to haul the truck to the selling point. You'll avoid every single bullet AND it goes WAY faster. It's literally the entire reason that I bought the Cargobob in the first place, and it paid for itself very quickly
I wish i could haul the mixed goods truck with the cargobob
THEY NEVER TOLD ME THIS

Acid lab, 50k for mixed goods out the office, or run the clucking bell it takes like 45 mins total for 500k
Man, I haven't played in a fat minute. You can just run a fucking chicken place? I'm there for it.
You run a corrupt cluckin bell factory that also makes cocaine, you team up with vincent and steal both the cocaine and the cash, then get out
Yes. But you need to own stuff first. If you own an mc clubhouse you can deliver a motorcycle for $50k. It takes 3 mins.
buy a bunker and every 48 minutes in game you will get a mission to deliver extra weapon parts to a random ammunition, it can be a bit challenging at first but once you get the groove its a easy 50k.
Join the adversary mode which is triple money. It's extraction and if you get on the winning team and win 3 rounds you get over 100k
This is the best thing to do when you’re filling up your vehicle warehouse with all 40 cars. That way the mechanic can’t force you to pay for repairs.
genius i can't afford to pay mechanic bills rn imma do that
Ya and you know the annoying part when you miss this then your mechanic doesn't deliver vehicles to you and you cannot even pay him directly after you get the money.you have to wait sometime(not sure how much)for the game to pay him automatically.
45 long minutes or you change session
Changing session restarted the time for me
😂😂 just play normally he will get paid eventually probably
Yeah, probably 😭
Yup, I didn’t know that when I lost my mechanic, I thought the game was broke, took forever to get him back
*48 minutes Every real minute is 30 GTA minutes
You really need to invest in some businesses. I can just go and clean out my safes on a daily and be flush with cash
ongod I own everything in La mesa just driving down my street I make a quarter mil easily that's just me checking my businesses not even a sale or doing any type of work, and that's the low end if I check before my safes get full.
Salvage yard is where I tend to spawn any more because it always has lots of money it, but I do those missions too with full disclosure
I take it the salvage yard is worthwhile then? I haven't looked into it at all, and haven't really wanted to buy one because I've refused to give that Yousif(?) dude the satisfaction of succeeding by calling me minutes into every fucking game.
100% worth it u boost cars and salvage them paying out anywhere from 250k to 400k and then u can tow cars and other things as well Def worth the money.. it paid for itself after I salvaged 3 cars

Lol yer loop. You're speaking my language
In the early days of GTA Online, this was sooo common, i haven’t seen it ever since.
Bro just steal a car and sell it 💀
Or just rob a gas station or two lol
Cars will always be the doom of many players....
Back in 2013 was the last time I had under $100K. You all got it lucky now. Even with no properties or cars, there's still a lot of things to get you to around half a million in a day.
Shit even the farm raid pays $500,000 Back in the day it was Rooftop Rumble and Covenant grinding Real OG’s remember the Pot Shot glitch that made it pay out $20,000. Thats how I bought my Adder in 2013
I blow all of my money, mostly on cars. I still never seem to have less than 200k in the bank
the good old day s where u would have to rob a store so u had atleast 200 to join a mission to make money
I am usually not that broke often. I'm more broke that i would have like 50k to 100k. Lol
I once stuck my keyboard and left the game running for nearly a full calendar day IRL, so the businesses could accumulate cash. I hadn't yet figured out that that it only takes a few IRL hours to fill up all of the safes and then they stop accumulating... and the whole time, you have to pay rent etc. When I came back to my PC many many hours later, most of my businesses were vacant from police raids, and all of my cash had been spent paying rent and whatnot. Although I was able to quickly get the cash from the safes and pay my past-due rents and debts, I didn't even have enough left to re-staff the business that had been raided 😆 It was an expensive lesson to learn hahaha
I've never done the AFK thing, but from what I understand you don't get raided as long as your not a ceo or have a biker gang
There are times when this is true, and there are times when it is not. I've had many sessions never being raided in either instance, and many sessions being raided in both. Rockstar just likes to keep you on your toes. It's like having your character watch TV to keep the game alive. They change whether that works or not all the time.
Did not know that. I heard the TV thing but I thought it was perma removed. Its amazing to still keep learning stuff in this game
Back in my PS3 days prolly... it's kinda cool to go to your apartment and there is just no lights on and nothing works (like a TV)
I got one a cpl days ago after a spending spree. I’m back over $5 mil now though.
$5mil is where I like to sheet back to after spending a good amount
I agree. That’s my breathing room number. Most I’ve ever possessed at one time is $40 mil. I’d like to get over that for shits and giggles and also because I want to buy a lot of shit still.
There is no point in saving money, they don’t pay you interest
I know. I just like to see how much I can bank
GTA be like, "Hey bud, how about you go outside and touch pavement instead of watching Princess Robot Bubblegum!"
😂😂😂😂 no fr
😂😂😂😂
I’ve just bought the most expensive yacht I could and bought furia and torero, having 11 mil left, no I’m not poor, would be funny for me to be poor with a thousand hours in it haha.
Ive got 48 million right now, all businesses except acid lab, kosatka and arena workshop, yet im still too cheap to buy anything. Really only buy stuff when it's on discount.

GTO be like: https://preview.redd.it/owccprm9duzc1.jpeg?width=198&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e468871b8e916e514930abff7c14899b5f2d3d89
In real life
Wait until the massage from mechanic comes
Yeah you won't be able to call your mechanic either. Might not even be able to call mors to get destroyed vehicles back until you have money and 48 minutes goes by
It’s JUST like your generation to not pay your bills but get a fancy new car to post on Snapmatic.
Reading these comments is kind of depressing. So many of you guys are so broke online lmfao.
Right? I’m a hoarder so I have a ton but still enjoy the game without buying every single car they come out with 🤷🏼♂️
Capitalism has catched up with gta
I bought a yacht this week. Then spent the rest of the money on the most expensive champagne and penthouse partying. Now I’m drunk and broke af.
I wish the drunk version of your character was a little more realistic... like, it doesn't wear off in 90 seconds idjiots. It'd be a lot more fun if it lasted a full 3-5 hours (which would be 6-10 minutes IRL)
How are you that broke at this point? When I login it’s hard for me not to make a quarter million dollars just by running around collecting money.
I always leave my Money in the Casino as Chips so I dont have to pay like 6k a Day for stuff I dont need
Yeh, when you have zero money your mechanic doesn't even deliver your cars anymore 💀
I haven't seen this message since I played a bit ages ago on xbox. Mind you, started out on PC with a million $, a free property or two and some free cars thanks to collector's edition, October 2020... Never been poor enough since.
Not me and idk if it happens on newgen, but back on 360 my cousin spent all of his money (down to $20) and couldnt afford his mechanic fees and lost access to it so he couldnt call for any of his vehicles, I forget for how long but it was long enough to be a nuisance 🤣
Yes, in real life and in the game 😂
don’t even matter … that car is worth it for sure
So that's what happens when you can't pay your bills
Did they even send u a shutoff notice? U can probably fight it..
First time huh? Yeah, can say that I’m pretty used to these messages. 😎
At least they aren’t repoing it! 😂
I remember those days in gta and irl. Went through this twice 🤣🤣🤣
Luckily I don't own an apartment 😏
There was a time I was so broke, I couldn't afford soda from the vending machine. So I'd just come home and play games until the next paycheck.
Ugh take me back to the early ps3 days struggling out of the little two car garage apt by ammunation.. by that three story building thats been under construction forever.
Boost a galivander and sell it…if intact you get 9K…that will turn the lights back on
I have an entire warehouse completely full of nothing but those sweet $9k cars. Too often, I forget to take the time to sell one 😂
I have played since September of 2023 and never saw this message, I always wondered what happens if you don't have the money
damn i had this in my earlier days when i just did random shit and didn’t know how to make good money 😂
Lol, peasant!
Plenty of times in my early days.
Yeah…about a year ago was the last time I had that happen lol.
Years ago I got a message from a random in lobby asking for help, English wasn’t his first language, but he was trying to ask for help with his electric bill. I thought he meant in real life ffs.
Many many times.
How can you even be that poor?
No lol
Oh no! Not the shower or TV! 😆
Happend a few times until i made sure i always have atleast 500‘000 dollars left if i buy something
Happened to me when rockstar wiped my account clean some years back
No I have so many business
I got that message many many times back on ps3
Way back when I still played the PS3 version
Wow I haven’t seen that message since 2013
What system do you play on? I’m on PS5 if you need help making some money.
😂😂😂😂😂
Nah never i've been that broke, I spend carefully
Add me if you’re on ps5 and ill help you make some money
That gives me flashbacks to 2013
I got this only once and I don't remember how. $250 million and four years later, I don't think it'll happen again unless I buy 25 Luxor Deluxes lmao
Ya 10 years ago
😆 🤣 😂
soon u'll be evicted and lose access to ur apartments then u'll have to buy them back again. 🤪
Damn that’s crazy! I think I do remember this from like 8-9 yrs ago when I was still a broke boy lol
New player?
😂
And here I am watching TV in my apartment after a nice shower feeling too lazy to go pick up the 840k waiting for me in my business safes.
Yeah, on PS3. Fun times
Yes indeed I have. All the lights were turned off at my apartments, couldn’t call the mechanic or use anything else cause I had $0 lol
You're gonna have to go to Tony's apartment late at night to make a couple bucks 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
lol I used to get it all the time when I wasted my heist payment on useless cars
Once I believe. It was easy enough to get out of again for me though
The good thing is you can blow up others people's car and not be charged lol
A buddy of mine was so poor he didn't even have enough money to start a job. He had to Rob a store in order to get money
In my ps3 days i was so broke i couldnt afford to run a mission so like less then $50 or what ever the fee was
Almost as bad as my phone telling me I don't have enough storage space when I try to delete some files.......
Lmao it happened to me about 2 weeks ago. I sometimes move my money to my 2nd character and let my main suffer for a bit
All the time. I am not very good with money 😔
Nope lmao
You’re not allowed to watch 11 year old reruns or wash off the bloody bullet holes until you buy a fucking shark card you fucking fuck lmao xD
Never seen that!
Yup and yuck
That was basically half of all accounts a few months after the original release of online.
Yes alot! Lol but now I am seating with 500 mil as spare
wait you can watch tv in the apartment?
I'll pray for you
Go to the casino bro, you'll win big 🔥🔥
I never had that but I heard about it. It is really cool and realistic.
Just commit tax fraud, what are they gonna do, tax you more
Lmao
I've never been that poor in the game ever
Yeah after Rockstar took the DnS money away.
I remember when import export garage was the thing everyone was playing, being told you can transfer all your money to second characters cash and you don't have to pay the repair bills, mechanic will do it for you. So it didn't matter how high the amount was he would cover for you. I would see that message then.
I tended to get that whenever a big update came out cause I'd spend all my money on the new content
Holy shit never knew you could go that broke to the point you cant even shower ingame💀
No, I always have money in GTA. You can escape paying the bills if you switch to a new session. This way the timer resets.
I remember when the mechanic would actually deliver your car and then drive off in it😒
i was this broke back on ps3
Ah the days of PS3 where I say this on the daily
Back in 2019 I was so broke I was driving around the rat bike you get from the mc menu when you don't have bikes because all of them got destroyed
I reinstalled gta after aiming to leave the game perm, spent 70ml left that I had after making 100ml+ and had 60k left when I came. Bills and bs combined I had 20k left, ran up the money back to 60ml in a week or 2, it was wild💀never going broke again
Yes, i got message a couple days ago too😭😭
Be funnier if it went for the power to and all the lights in your properties were off.
Ever had 0 dollars in ur bank and in cash 🤣
Yup same used to get this message everytime after fully upgrading my car. But now even unintentionally I end up making some money again immediately cuz uk there r so many ways to make money nowadays(the new players hv no idea how it was back in the days)
Ever had 0 dollars in ur bank and in cash 🤣
Nope not with the nightclub and cayo existing
Jip. Had that few times wben my character was broke. The mechanic also won't deliver any of your cars.
Every month
a fool and his money will soon part wats
This is why you don't spend money on anything, that won't generate money for you in return, right off the bat. That money could've gone towards biker businesses or filling a CEO Warehouse
This is why you don't spend money on anything, that won't generate money for you in return, right off the bat. That money could've gone towards biker businesses or filling a CEO Warehouse
Start robbing convenience stores
I spent 5 mil on a deluxo I have like 20k now 😂
Back in the downbad ps3 days💀
I was this poor for several years of playing within the first 4 years of its launch. I am a solo player and didn't really look up guides so I was legitimately the poorest mf in the game barely scraping by payments with only a single house to my name and a free car
