Game Forum / Action Games / Grand Theft Auto / January 2007Vice City garage?
Hi group, I just recently got Vice City, and was wondering whether it is possible when saving the game, to store my car/motorbike in a garage like in GTA3. its getting really annoying having to steal a car every time i boot up the game. thanks, lisa >Hi group, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >thanks, >lisa There are several properties around the city which have garages. You need to get enough cash together and purchase the properties. The garages can store various numbers of vehicles. Not all of the properties have garages. > Hi group, > > I just recently got Vice City, and was wondering whether it is possible > when saving the game, to store my car/motorbike in a garage like in GTA3. > its getting really annoying having to steal a car every time i boot up the > game. Yes, you can store cars in garages (if you own the garage property). Also, there's a cheat program available that will let you store any car in any garage. You can even choose the car colors. And the garage contents are saved when you save your game. And this cheat program also lets you store and load garage configurations at will. how much cash, and where? lisa "Immure Obfuscation" wrote : >> Hi group, >> [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > And this cheat program also lets you store and load garage configurations > at will. > how much cash, and where? > lisa [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > And this cheat program also lets you store and load garage configurations > > at will. There's a not too expensive one quite close to your safe house. The club you drop the colonel's daughter off at on the first real mission, it's at the other end of the short street. there are some broad steps up to the save marker and the garage is to the left of those steps. It's only a single vehicle one if I recall properly, you don't get multi vehicle ones til you open the other islands.

If I recall, they are about $10K each. There's one south of your default savegame point (Ocean View). There's are two more near the (currently) blocked bridge at the golf club north of Ocean View. Each will take just one car, but with creative parking can take two. Don't bother buying them just to store cars, though - it's easier to steal them. Use them for unique cars, like Diaz's bulletproof admiral. Spoiler space Spoiler space Spoiler space Spoiler space Spoiler space Spoiler space Spoiler space When you get to the first Diaz mission, kill him before the "bad guys" appear, then steal and agarage his car. Rinse, and repeat until your three garages are full. This damage proof (can still be destroyed by overturning or fire attacks such as molotovs) car is really useful for the side mission where you have to crash that woman in her Comet, and the story mission where you have to follow that BF Injection without "engaging it" to find the hideout. You can follow as closely as you want, because your car isn't going to be damaged by the informer who keeps shooting at you. OK it's not the sexiest car in the game, but it's d*mn useful. > i've gone further than the 'L' missions. i'm currently up to 'A' and 'C' > missions. could i get directions from the safe house to this house? There are many maps of Vice City available on the net. One showing the safe house locations is at http://gtawarehouse.com/vc/maps/properties.JPG. The ones marked with an S are safehouses and the one closest to the hotel is "Ocean Heights". > i've gone further than the 'L' missions. i'm currently up to 'A' and 'C' > missions. could i get directions from the safe house to this house? > > thanks, > lisa Anssi has provided you with a map, you lucky thing :O) SignaturePaul (Need a lift she said much obliged) ------------------------------------------------------- Stop and Look http://www.geocities.com/dreamst8me/ > how much cash, and where? > lisa (This is from memory....) The properties you can purchase all have names and are listed in the stats as "Properties Owned". It's actually part of the 100% completion requisite to own all of them, as well as being handy save spots. I think there's a properties guide on Gamefaqs.com that could be very helpful for finding the others, but the ones with garages are: East island: 1. Find the northern-most hospital (In Vice Point I think) and go south. It's the nice looking villa-style building. 2. Find the nearby Pay'n'Spray (Again it's the most northern one). Directly south of that is an apartment building with a place you can buy. 3. Look on your map for the southernmost AmmuNation. It's on a two lane road, just to the east of that is another road. The property is at the very south end of that road. Starfish Island: 1. After taking over the Diaz mansion, the garage becomes freely available as part of the Vercetti Estate. You'll have to play through the storyline missions to get it though. West Island: 1. The Hyman Condo can be purchased as soon as you get to the west island (Again, storyline mission completion will unlock it). Find the huge Hyman Stadium in the north-west of the island. The road going east out of the area has an alleyway opposite that leads to the house purchase marker. I can definitely recommend buying this early on the west island as it has four garages that can each hold three or four vehicles. Hope that helps!

"Do sugar cubes have dots or is that a dice I just put in my tea?" To the world you are somebody, but to somebody you are the world. Thanks a lot. I'll be sure to buy one now.

The garages behave in exactly the same way as in GTAIII, meaning you can take advantage of storing more vehicles than you're supposed to, typically three or more in only a two capacity. In case you don't know, the game treats bikes as being the same size as cars, so although you have room to store 10 in a garage, the game won't let you. Be warned that some garages like to "eat" vehicles if it's overstuffed. I wouldn't advise storing any special (ie: bulletproof) cars in an overstuffed garage. I did the same in San Andreas and lost my everything-proof Admiral :o( Finally, believe it or not you can store boats in garages, although there are more than enough boats to nick dotted around Vice City. Just thought I'd mention it. In GTAIII it's possible to save the 'Ghost Missing' boat in a garage to restore it (It's a unique boat that only appears once and often get's blown up).

That's a new one on me. Have to go look for that... > Where did that come from? In the mission "Los Sepulcros" you're supposed to gate crash a Ballas funeral that's taking place. 1. Grab a Tow Truck and store it in a nearby garage. 2. Start the mission and drive over to the cemetary. Park the Tow Truck near the Admiral. 3. Simply shoot any of the Ballas gang members standing around to fail the mission. 4. Hook up the Admiral and tow to a safehouse garage. Yup, it really is that easy! There are different methods for getting it but this is by far the easiest. If you do do a Cleve 'Messing With The Missions' experiment be warned that if Sweet gets in to the car at any point of the mission it will lose it's proofing. > That's a new one on me. Have to go look for that... In the mission "Paparazzi Purge" you have to chase and kill a reporter who's giving too much attention to Asuka. When you chase him, providing he's taken enough damage (Using the Predator boat's mounted machine guns) he'll eventually beach himself on Portland Beach near the Lighthouse. After this, you'll need to spawn a Rhino and push it to your safehouse. This can take anything up to half an hour so be patient. It will just about fit in your Portland garage. You won't be able to take it to Staunton Island as the game needs to load data before you get there; in the process it will delete your boat from memory. If all that seems like too much of a kerfuffle, simply jump on the boat when it's beached and press the enter vehicle button/key. The name 'Ghost Missing' will still appear despite the vehicle being blown up! Btw, has anyone noticed that in GTAIII, VC and SA the Squalo models are numbered 1 to and 3 respectively?
