IV:MP Vehicles

Novice

All vehicle owners must possess:

• Passport
• Driver's license

It's only allowed to use one vehicle at time, owning a house or a garage is recommended before buying a vehicle
Vehicles will spawn where the owner left it, /savecar is only for color and tunes.

Buy a vehicle

• Go to a vehicle dealership (in this example I'm at Willis Wash And Lube)
• Enter a vehicle you like and type /purchaseinfo for details

(Click on the pictures to zoom in)

• Then if you are still interested in buying this vehicle type /buyvehicle (please notice the difference in mileage)
• Congratulations for buying your first vehicle

Buying a vehicle that isn't on the showroom

• Tired of waiting for a dealership owner to show up?
  
  
• Go to a vehicle dealership and stand near its yellow marker
• Type /importvehicle to see what vehicles you can buy from there

4: (Benson, 85k) 5: (Biff, 92k) 8: (Boxville, 55k) 10: (Burrito, 36k)

The list continues

• Type /importvehicle [model id]
  • For example /importvehicle 5, will import a Biff for 92k
  • The imported vehicle will be automatically added to your /invent
    
    
• Notes:
  • Importing the vehicle yourself will probably be more expensive
  • You can only use this command if the vehicle you wanna buy isn't on showroom

Transfer a vehicle

You can transfer your vehicle using the /transfervehicle command.

Painting a vehicle

• Go to a vehicle dealership
• Use /carcolor [color id] (color ids can be found at the picture below)

• Then don't forget to use /savecar, or the new color won't save

Fixing a vehicle

• Go to a vehicle dealership
• Use /fixvehicle and wait while the repairs are being made
  • You can check the repair price on /purchaseinfo

• Go near a mechanic
• Use /fixvehicle mechanic id and wait while the repairs are being made
  
  

Add or remove vehicle components

• Go to a vehicle dealership
• Use /tune [0 - 9] (I'm using /tune 0 on this example)

(Before)

(After, added a rear air intake)

• Then again, don't forget to use /savecar, or the vehicle components won't save

Vehicle livery

• Go to a vehicle dealership
• Use /livery [0 - 9] (I'm using /livery 1 on this example)

(Before)

(After)

• Then again, don't forget to use /savecar, or the vehicle livery won't save

Fill up a vehicle

• Park near a fuel pump at a gas station (I'm at Cerveza Heights RON for this example)
• Use /pricelist to look at the fuel prices

(Click on the picture to zoom in)

• You can use /purchaseinfo to check what fuel type your vehicle uses
• Type /fillup and the server will gradually increase your fuel level
  • The vehicle must not move during the process or it will stop
    

• Go near a mechanic or call him in case your vehicle run out of fuel
  • Do /fillup [mechanic ID] .
    
    

"Towing" a crashed vehicle

• Use /towvehicle [mechanic id]
  • If you are the vehicle owner it will be towed to the cars impound
  • Otherwise it will be towed back to the garage where /loadvehicle was used
    
    

This command costs 250$

Changes on /savecar

In the 2.0 version /savecar no longer saves the spawn position for your vehicle, that means your vehicle will spawn where YOU left it

• What happens if someone stole my vehicle?
  • The spawn position is only saved when the owner exits the vehicle, therefore it will spawn where you left it
    
    
• What if someone used /loadvehicle on my car?
  • The vehicle will be sent back to the garage 5 minutes after the person quits the game

Locking a vehicle

• Enter the vehicle you loaded or a vehicle you own and type /carlock
  • The vehicle will remain locked until /carlock is used again or the vehicle is stored
• Or type /carlock near the vehicle to remote lock it (only works on the vehicle you loaded)
  
  
• If you own a CB channel you can also allow players to use your vehicle while its locked by typing /carlock [channel Number]
  • Anyone with a CB tuned in that channel will be able to drive your vehicle
