Overview
Personal Vehicles & Garages is an editorial name for ownership after theft. Nelson distinguished registered personal vehicles from temporary stolen cars, and compared garage swapping to managing horses in Red Dead Redemption 2.
What is confirmed
- Stolen cars can be registered as the player's own, but early on storage space is limited to three vehicles.
- Additional garages can be purchased around the map to own more vehicles.
- If all slots are full, a stored car must be sold to make space for a new personal vehicle.
- Personal vehicles can store the player's weapons.
- Temporary stolen vehicles show as grey radar icons, remain for a while, and disappear on game restart. They are not owned.
- Nelson named Scooter Bros as an app that delivers the player's car.
- Vehicles can be summoned/delivered to the player's location so long-gun storage is not stranded.
How it appears to work
Ownership is a registration step, not automatic after theft. Pay & Spray is involved in checking registration cost, repairs, and simple repaints. Elaborate paint needs a tuning shop.
What remains unknown
- A full map of purchasable garages and later-game capacities is not public.
- Whether Jason and Lucia share a single garage pool or have separate slots is not specified in the Famitsu interview.
