Exports and Imports


 * This article is about a side mission in GTA San Andreas. For the side mission in GTA III, see Importexport.gift/Export, for the side mission in GTA Vice City, see Sunshine Autos Import Garage.

Exports and Imports are a series of side-missions which become available after Customs Fast Track for Cesar Vialpando.

To export a vehicle, grab a vehicle able to export (usually called wanted at the board near the crane) then park it near the magnetic dockside crane in Easter Basin, San Fierro. Enter the magnetic dockside crane, then move and lower the magnet to pick up the vehicle you want to export. After attaching the magnet to the vehicle, maneuver the vehicle using the crane to the tanker. (Alternately, you can simply drive the vehicle up the ramp leading to the boat; however, some vehicles are too big or long to drive up the ramp.) Carefully drive the car onto the marker. A message will then display that you have successfully exported that vehicle. You will receive money, depending on the type and condition of the car.

Money is deducted for any damage, so it's a good idea to take the car through the Pay 'n' Spray behind Wang Cars, to repair damage. Alternatively, fix the cars in your garage to save money. It's a good habit to do this with every car obtained for the mission, even if no damage occurs while Carl is driving it, as unnoticed damage can occur to parked and computer-driven vehicles off screen before Carl obtains them.

Reward

 * Cash is awarded for each car successfully delivered, ranging from $10,000 to $135,000 (with cash deducted if the vehicle is delivered with damage). The player will receive a large cash bonus for completion of each of the lists, ranging from $100,000 to $200,000 per list.
 * Delivering a vehicle will unlock a new vehicle being made available for import on certain days. These vehicles range from the vehicle which has just been delivered to the dock, to rare vehicles Carl may only be able to obtain via import which become available for every five cars delivered. These vehicles may be purchased on certain days of the week only, and may be bought during or after completion of the sub-mission by returning to the blackboard. Vehicles purchased appear on the deck of the freighter, requiring Carl to either use the crane or attempt to drive them down the ramp.
 * Exporting all 30 vehicles is a requirement for 100% completion of the game.

Trivia

 * When a vehicle is wanted for export, it will spawn in a particular place within San Andreas and will keep on spawning in that location until it has been exported.  A lot of the time, those vehicles will be locked or alarmed.
