The best cars to steal in GTA Online can vary from the price they can be sold at, to the speed that they have. These are some of the best cars that players need to steal in GTA Online to begin their first steps as a criminal mastermind.
Updated July 17, 2024, by Jake Fillery: Sometimes there's nothing better than embracing the criminal life in GTA Online and stealing a vehicle. Sometimes players can steal something worth selling, keeping, or just for the fun of it, and GTA Online certainly features an abundance of exciting vehicles that allow an immense layer of fun and opportunity. If players are heading back into Los Santos, they should look to the best GTA Online vehicles to steal for a variety of different reasons.
16 Fire Truck
Top Speed: 96 MPH
![GTA Online: 8 Great Cars You Need To Steal (6) GTA Online: 8 Great Cars You Need To Steal (6)](https://i0.wp.com/static0.gamerantimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/collage-maker-07-jul-2023-03-49-pm-3807.jpg)
- Location: Call 911 for Fire Service Department
- Cannot be Sold
Speed | Acceleration | Braking | Handling |
69.75 | 40 | 16.67 | 51.52 |
Everyone has wanted to ride in a fire truck once in their life, so why not fulfill that dream? Whilst the Fire Department might need their fire trucks to stop Los Santos from burning down, players will want it more just to have fun. Players can't keep the vehicle they steal, but they can certainly enjoy it for how it's capable of destruction in both its durability and water cannon.
Players can use the water cannon to terrorize other players and NPCs, sending them across the floor like ragdolls. Whilst it might not be a daring vehicle to use for stunts, it's still a beautiful choice for those who want to embrace chaos for a while.
15 Imponte Phoenix
Top Speed: 113 MPH
![GTA Online: 8 Great Cars You Need To Steal (7) GTA Online: 8 Great Cars You Need To Steal (7)](https://i0.wp.com/static0.gamerantimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/imponte-phoenix.jpg)
- Location: Terminal, Maze Bank Arena, Cypress Flats, East Vinewood
- Sold for $2,000
Speed | Acceleration | Braking | Handling |
77.80 | 70 | 26.67 | 65.15 |
A mixture of classic and modest, the Imponte Phoenix is no Batmobile, and it certainly doesn't have missiles, but it's still a decent drive. Players who want to steal a car that is worthy of insuring and keeping for themselves should look to the Imponte Phoenix. It's not a bad choice, and if players can get their hands on one by stealing it, they should go for it.
The speed and acceleration are good, and the vehicle itself looks good, which is arguably the more important aspect of owning a car in the game. With this muscle car, players are in for a keen treat of vehicular joys.
14 Maibatsu Sanchez
Top Speed: 119.50 MPH
![GTA Online: 8 Great Cars You Need To Steal (8) GTA Online: 8 Great Cars You Need To Steal (8)](https://i0.wp.com/static0.gamerantimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/maibatsu-sanchez.jpg)
- Location: Sandy Shores, Grapeseed
- Sold for $800
Speed | Acceleration | Braking | Handling |
63.31 | 70 | 36.67 | 65.15 |
Players aren't going to net a decent profit from the Maibatsu Sanchez as it is only worth a few hundred dollars. However, what they are going to net, is a fun ride that is perfect for use in the Grand Senora Desert. When players leave the Vinewood Hills, they are going to need something that can be used off-road, and what perfect choice than the Sanchez?
Related
GTA Online lets players drive some fan-favorite vehicles from beloved movies and TV shows.
The Sanchez is agile, and quick, and allows players to do plenty of tricks across ramps and dirt hills. Players won't want to take a fancy or large car with them to the desert areas of the map, so the Sanchez is definitely something that can change their fortune.
13 Grotti Vigilante
Top Speed: 147 MPH
![GTA Online: 8 Great Cars You Need To Steal (10) GTA Online: 8 Great Cars You Need To Steal (10)](https://i0.wp.com/static0.gamerantimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/gta_online_vigilante-1.jpg)
- Location: Left on the Street by Other Players
- Cannot be Sold
Speed | Acceleration | Braking | Handling |
72.43 | 65.00 | 20.00 | 63.64 |
It's not a secret that the Vigilante is based on Batman's Batmobile. The Vigilante is one of the best cars to steal from other players, as it goes ridiculously fast, and when players purchase armor for the vehicle, it can act like a tank, smashing through other vehicles, and turning them to dust, especially when players use the boost function. The Vigilante is a grand vehicle, one that only the rich can afford, so why not steal it?
Players will need to be lucky and hope that others in their session are rocking a Vigilante, and have not bothered to keep the car locked to strangers. Jumping into a Vigilante and using the rocket boost function up a hill can send players flying, and the homing rockets make threatening vehicles null and void, providing an expensive joyride to players in need of excitement.
12 Benefactor Schwartzer
Top Speed: 117 MPH
![GTA Online: 8 Great Cars You Need To Steal (11) GTA Online: 8 Great Cars You Need To Steal (11)](https://i0.wp.com/static0.gamerantimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/cmj-iwyweaaqy3n-cropped.jpg)
- Location: Downtown Los Santos, La Spada, Aguja Street, La Puerta, Vespucci Beach
- Sold for $8,000
Speed | Acceleration | Braking | Handling |
78.87 | 72.50 | 30.00 | 69.70 |
A rare sight indeed, the Benefactor Schwartzer is now a car that can only be obtained through thievery and for keen eyes, as it was delisted as of June 13, 2023, meaning it cannot be purchased. Players will have to look hard for this car, and it's pretty impressive if they can find one, since not only is it a rare car located on the streets, but it's also fairly customizable both visually and in terms of how it drives.
The Benefactor Schwartzer is a great car for those who know what to look for, and players can spend a great deal of time and care in making the vehicle something they would want to be seen in. Whilst it's no Vigilante or supercar, it will get the job done, and with relative fashion too.
11 P-996 Lazer
Top Speed: 195 MPH
![GTA Online: 8 Great Cars You Need To Steal (12) GTA Online: 8 Great Cars You Need To Steal (12)](https://i0.wp.com/static0.gamerantimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/gta-5-jet.jpg)
- Location: Fort Zancudo
- Cannot be Sold
Speed | Acceleration | Braking | Handling |
83.50 | 93.00 | 86.67 | 75.00 |
It's technically cheating, since this vehicle isn't exactly a car, but everyone needs to steal a military jet and cross it off their bucket list. One of the many joys of GTA Online is the endless fun that can be had, so jumping into Fort Zancudo and going for a joyride in a jet, with other jets and tanks and 5-stars on the police radar is a thrill like no other, especially when players can see how fast and free the air can be.

Grand Theft Auto Online: Best Muscle Cars, Ranked
With a design that oozes cool, and intense speeds, muscle cars are great in GTA Online, provided players have money and knowledge for the best.
Players can use an assortment of weapons, from the targeting missiles to the cannons, providing hellfire from above. Players can take this jet to Los Santos and have a field day with the weapon capabilities, or simply enjoy the thrills of the sky and do some barrel rolls before ejecting from the vessel. Whatever players choose, the P-996 Lazer is a must-steal, even if it will draw the ire of other players and the military.
10 Vapid Police Cruiser
Top Speed: 109.25 MPH
![GTA Online: 8 Great Cars You Need To Steal (14) GTA Online: 8 Great Cars You Need To Steal (14)](https://i0.wp.com/static0.gamerantimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/gta-online.jpg)
- Locations: Police Stations, Patrolling Los Santos, Calling 911
- Cannot be Sold
Speed | Acceleration | Braking | Handling |
80.48 | 75.00 | 40.00 | 77.88 |
Whilst the Vapid Police Cruiser is not exactly a vehicle that players can keep, it’s certainly one that can provide players with a bout of fun. There are many different varieties of police cars in GTA Online, and the Los Santos Police Department will not know what to do when an army of citizens with a walking arsenal of weapons decides to take their cruisers out for a joy ride. Since players cannot sell them, or store them, these vehicles should only be used for fun, and for intense getaways.
The Vapid Police Cruiser is the fastest of the bunch and can have 4 players inside, including the driver. Even better, players can use this vehicle to roleplay as a cop if they so seek, and they can use the sirens and horn for some special effects that other cars lack. The only downside of this vehicle is players cannot keep or customize it, and the fact it cannot be sold makes for a shame, but an understandable one.
9 Ubermacht Zion
Top Speed: 117 MPH
![GTA Online: 8 Great Cars You Need To Steal (15) GTA Online: 8 Great Cars You Need To Steal (15)](https://i0.wp.com/static0.gamerantimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/collage-maker-09-oct-2023-02-48-pm-9770.jpg)
- Locations: Rockford Hills, The Families, Del Perro Pier, Vespucci Beach
- Can be Sold for $6,000
Speed | Acceleration | Braking | Handling |
77.80 | 55.00 | 30.00 | 78.79 |
Sometimes located during traffic, the Ubermacht Zion may be a common enough car to look at, but it has some pretty solid stats to make it a good car that’s worth taking. Players should take the Ubermacht Zion if they see it, regardless of whether someone is inside. The car has some pretty decent stats, and the 2 seater can be driven at pretty fast speeds.

7 Darkest Endings In The Grand Theft Auto Games, Ranked
The best Grand Theft Auto games involve plenty of crime and violence, so it's no wonder that some of their endings are truly dark.
Whilst players won’t get a great profit from selling this vehicle, it truly excels in being a vehicle that can be stolen, just to bring back home. This is a vehicle players can store, and upgrade from Los Santos Customs, providing more modifications to further increase their potential fast car in GTA Online.
8 Karin Sultan
Top Speed: 115.75 MPH
![GTA Online: 8 Great Cars You Need To Steal (17) GTA Online: 8 Great Cars You Need To Steal (17)](https://i0.wp.com/static0.gamerantimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/karin-sultan.jpg)
- Locations: Harmony, La Mesa, Strawberry, Senora Freeway, Larry's RV Sales
- Can be Sold for $1,200
Speed | Acceleration | Braking | Handling |
77.80 | 65.00 | 13.33 | 71.21 |
The Karin Sultan isn’t exactly the most attractive vehicle, considering it’s a 4 seated Sports Car, but that doesn’t stop it from being something new players should obtain. There’s a decent speed from the Sultan, with the top range of speed reaching 115.75 MPH.
The Sultan is a rather common spawn around GTA Online, which makes it a great car to steal since players won’t have to keep their eyes peeled so much, although it's a car not worth the retail price. The locations of the Sultan are as follows: Harmony, La Mesa, Strawberry, Senora Freeway, and Larry’s RV Sales.
7 Lampadati Felon
Top Speed: 113.75 MPH
![GTA Online: 8 Great Cars You Need To Steal (18) GTA Online: 8 Great Cars You Need To Steal (18)](https://i0.wp.com/static0.gamerantimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/lampadati-felon.jpg)
- Locations: Rockford Hills, Vinewood Hills
- Can be Sold for $9,000
Speed | Acceleration | Braking | Handling |
77.80 | 60.00 | 30.00 | 77.27 |
One of the luxury Coupes in GTA Online is the Lampadati Felon, a vehicle that can be found and sold for $9,000. It’s a great payday just for finding a car off the street, although the owner of the said vehicle probably won’t be too happy that a car worth $90,000 was stolen and sold for a tenth of that price, although that quick money is great to help with things before a mission.
Players can search for the Lampadati Felon in Rockford Hills and Vinewood Hills, two wealthy areas. The average stats and top speed of 113.75 MPH make it a decent starting car, but players can still sell it for quick cash.
6 Übermacht Oracle
Top Speed: 115 MPH
![GTA Online: 8 Great Cars You Need To Steal (19) GTA Online: 8 Great Cars You Need To Steal (19)](https://i0.wp.com/static0.gamerantimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/bermacht-oracle.jpg)
- Location: Urban Los Santos
- Can be Sold for $8,000
Speed | Acceleration | Braking | Handling |
80.48 | 67.50 | 30.00 | 68.18 |
Within Urban Los Santos, players will be able to find the Übermacht Oracle. This 4-seated Coupe can be found on the streets, saving them $80,000 in the process since they won’t be buying it. Selling this car will also give them $8,000 which is a great sum of money for a simple action.

The top speed of the Oracle is 115 MPH, and the other statistics of speed, acceleration, braking, and handling are all fairly consistent, which will allow players to truly enjoy what German engineering is capable of as they speed through the streets of Los Santos.
5 Benefactor Dubsta 2
Top Speed: 102 MPH
![GTA Online: 8 Great Cars You Need To Steal (21) GTA Online: 8 Great Cars You Need To Steal (21)](https://i0.wp.com/static0.gamerantimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/dubsta-2.jpg)
- Locations: Union Depository, Mission Row Police Station, Eclipse Boulevard, Vinewood Boulevard, Boulevard Del Perro, Cassidy Creek Bridge
- Can be Sold for $7,000
Speed | Acceleration | Braking | Handling |
75.12 | 50.00 | 26.67 | 65.15 |
For players with plenty of friends, or room, the Dubsta 2 is a great SUV for them, especially when it can be taken straight off of the street and directly into their garage or property. The Dubsta 2 spawns near the Los Santos Customs in Burtin.
With 4 seats, players can cruise around Los Santos together, as long as an Oppressor MK2 isn’t on its way to ruin the fun. Even though this vehicle has a maximum speed of 102 MPH and great off-road handling, it’s hard for any vehicle to outrun a heat-seeking missile.
4 Pegassi Bati 801
Top Speed: 135 MPH
![GTA Online: 8 Great Cars You Need To Steal (22) GTA Online: 8 Great Cars You Need To Steal (22)](https://i0.wp.com/static0.gamerantimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/mixcollage-19-feb-2024-12-42-pm-3803.jpg)
- Locations: La Puerta, Sanders Motorcycles, Mission Row
- Can be Sold for $9,000
Speed | Acceleration | Braking | Handling |
80.48 | 75.00 | 46.67 | 70.30 |
The Bati 801 may be an outlier for the fact that it is a motorcycle, but it needs mentioning considering just how good of a bike it is. The Bati 801 is relatively cheap but can be found in La Puerta and Sanders Motorcycles, Mission Row.

3 Sentinel XS
Top Speed: 137.75 MPH
![GTA Online: 8 Great Cars You Need To Steal (24) GTA Online: 8 Great Cars You Need To Steal (24)](https://i0.wp.com/static0.gamerantimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/sentinel-xs.jpg)

Speed | Acceleration | Braking | Handling |
76.19 | 52.50 | 30.00 | 74.24 |
The Sentinel XS is a great vehicle that can be stolen in GTA Online. This Coupe vehicle spawns in Rockford Hills, Vinewood Hills, and Del Perro Pier. By stealing this car, players are saving themselves the purchase price of $60,000, and they can even sell the vehicle off the street for $6,000, It is not the most expensive in GTA Online, but a start.
With a top speed of 117.25 MPH and a stylish design for modern car enjoyers, the Sentinel XS has great potential, especially for next-gen console owners. Players of GTA Online for PS5 and Xbox Series S/X can spend $1,305,3000 to invest in the HSW Performance Upgrades in this vehicle to reach speeds of up to 137.75 MPH.
2 Dominator
Top Speed: 120.25 MPH
![GTA Online: 8 Great Cars You Need To Steal (25) GTA Online: 8 Great Cars You Need To Steal (25)](https://i0.wp.com/static0.gamerantimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/vapid-dominator.jpg)
- Location: Pillbox Hill, Rockford Hills, Los Santos International Airport
- Can be Sold for $3,500
Speed | Acceleration | Braking | Handling |
77.80 | 72.50 | 26.67 | 68.18 |
Muscle cars are always a great find on the streets of Los Santos. They’re a great introduction to vehicles in the game, as they feature unique handling and braking to other cars. One of the most common finds is the Dominator, a car that can be found around Pillbox Hill.
It’s a quick bout of cash if players get the Dominator, as they will earn $3,500 just for stealing and selling it. It's not too frustrating to find in GTA Online. Alternatively, it’s a great car to keep for its look and the fact that it can reach a top speed of 120.25 MPH.
1 Ocelot F620
Top Speed: 117.50 MPH
![GTA Online: 8 Great Cars You Need To Steal (26) GTA Online: 8 Great Cars You Need To Steal (26)](https://i0.wp.com/static0.gamerantimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/ocelot-f620.jpg)
- Locations: Del Perro Pier, Galileo Observatory, Burton
- Can be Sold for $8,000
Speed | Acceleration | Braking | Handling |
77.80 | 60.00 | 30.00 | 75.76 |
The appearance of this Coupe gives off the energy of a successful GTA Online player. The car itself is worth $80,000 which is a fairly expensive vehicle just to be roaming around the streets of Los Santos with the doors unlocked and keys in the ignition. It's a decent car in an ongoing list of important GTA Online updates.
It’s a fairly nice-looking car that players can either keep to utilize the top speed of 117.50 MPH or sell to Los Santos Customs for up to $8,000. That may not be much, but for a vehicle located rather easily through Del Perro Pier, Galileo Observatory, and Burton, it’s best to keep one's eyes peeled.
