Dealership Location & Route
The **car dealership** sits on an elevated or hill-adjacent lot visible from several spawn approaches — community guides call it the “hill dealership” near expanded Summer Update blocks. Open your map and look for the vehicle vendor icon northeast of central Gunstop traffic (exact pin shifts after patches — verify live on Wiki Updates).
On foot, hug main roads and avoid EXO Guns PvP alleys until you have a Glock 17. After your first buy, set GPS memory: dealership → construction site → laundromat → Gunstop becomes the standard money loop. Driving routes use PC Controls or Mobile Controls.
What You Can Buy First
Starter budgets after Drake bag ($700) and Glock 17 ($3,500) usually afford a **cheap van** or economy sedan. Vans hold more escape loot and tolerate crashes during Trap House exits; sports cars shave seconds off Studio Robbery getaways.
Full buy order and tier picks: Starter Cars guide and Vehicles Tier List. Summer Update added luxury lines (Maybach-class entries) — end-game flex, not first purchase.
Dealership vs Other Vehicle Sources
Dealership stock is fixed vendor inventory with clean-money pricing on many tiers. Player trades in VC servers and black market flips happen but scam risk is high for new accounts.
Do not skip the dealership because YouTube shows stolen supercars — reliable ownership starts with a legal buy, insurance of spawn point, and laundering dirty grinds via Clean Money before big purchases.
Shopping Trip Checklist
Before visiting: wash dirty money if the lot requires clean bills, bring enough for cheapest viable tier plus repair buffer, and clear inventory for keys. After buying: park off-street near your Construction loop or deli route.
Pair first car with Map Jobs markers — commute time dominates early hourly rates more than an extra $500 on paint. Paint and repair shops relocated in Summer Update; see Summer Update guide for post-patch shop pins.
PvP & Safety Near the Lot
Dealership lots attract campers who shoot new buyers. Use private VC for your first purchase trip if possible. Spawn car, drive immediately to job zone — do not idle in the purchase circle.
If wiped, you lose the vehicle until respawn rules return it — check patch behavior. Keep a backup Glock 17 and avoid carrying Switch-tier gear on broke test drives.
