There are plenty of ways to make money in Grand Theft Auto 3, but one of the most profitable involves selling stolen cars. Scattered across Liberty City are three special locations in which players can flip certain vehicles for cash. If they're able to deliver all of the vehicles that the buyer is looking for, they'll then get a huge cash bonus to help inflate their bank balance.
Players will be able to start selling cars fairly early on, as two of the three import/export locations can be found at the harbor in Portland. The final import/export list won't become available until players have unlocked the game's third island, however, meaning that they'll have to wait until near the end of GTA 3's main story to get started on it.
Portland Docks - Import/Export Garage (Civilian Vehicles)
The first import/export location can be found at the docks in Portland. Players will earn $1,000 for each vehicle that they deliver, as well as a $200,000 bonus for completing the list. Most of the vehicles can be found in Portland, though the Dodo can only be found at the airport in Shoreside Vale, meaning that players won't be able to complete the list until the final section of the game.

Players will earn $1,500 for each one that they deliver, as well as a $200,000 bonus for completing the list. As with the previous list, most of the vehicles can be found in Portland, though players won't be able to get their hands on an FBI Car or a Rhino until much later on in the game.

Players will again earn $1,000 for each vehicle that they deliver, as well as a $200,000 bonus for completing the list. Given that most of the vehicles on it are among the fastest cars in GTA 3, tracking them all down will not be easy. Those wishing to achieve 100% completion will need to do so, however, as finishing all three lists is one of the many requirements.
