Beaters

Beaters are cars with reduced performance, engine problems or mismatched body parts like bumpers and fenders. They also are rusted or run down.

Beaters
This section links to all articles about cars that have beater versions. These cars are old and rusted, but still drivable, besides some performance issues. In San Andreas, these are actually separate vehicles to their usual counterparts in the game's code, explaining why they cannot be repaired or modified. The GTA IV beaters have lower performance, all seem to have very bad suspensions, and will scrape and throw sparks on bumps and turns with a little speed. GTA IV beaters can be repaired/repainted. A few GTA V beaters can actually be given more performance-oriented modifications than their undamaged counterparts, making the beater variants more desirable; these include the beater Rebel which can be turned into a Baja 500-esque trophy truck, and the Rat-Loader which can be modified into a high-performance rat rod, however even with resprays and repairs, the rust, fading, dents, and corrosion cannot be removed, unless the is a specific modification that replaces the damaged parts with undamaged ones.
