It’s not limited to mere sports cars either.

Here are some of the best and where it’s possible for you to expect to find them.

If you used cheats, you may not have known how rare some of these vehicles were.

You wouldn’t want to waste your time because of a small oversight.

Besides, you’ll want to fill your garages with cars worth your time.

And nothing says worthwhile like a rare vehicle.

14Bandito

Location:West of San Fierro City Hall towards the pier.

The Bandito is an unconventional-looking vehicle, but it’s fast and fun to race around San Andreas.

The fastest way to get a Bandito is by finishing “The Green Sabre” mission.

It unlocks access to San Fierro.

Once you get there, go to the beach on the west side of the San Fierro City Hall.

Who doesn’t love Monster Trucks?

It’s the ultimate off-road vehicle that makes free-roam even more enjoyable.

After Officer Tenpenny drags you out to the Back o' Beyond, drive to Flint Intersection.

Inside the trailer park is the Monster Truck.

Go ahead and take the vehicle toa safe house.

Don’t worry if you wreck your truck.

It’ll always spawn in the trailer park, so you might slowly amass a fleet of Monster Trucks.

12Dune

Location:Outside Las Venturas Stadium.

The Dune is an enormous rally truck based on the real-world KAMAZ 4911.

The Dumper found in the Quarry in GTA San Andreas

You could survive an extended shoot-out with Ballas and Vagos.

GTA Online has just as many leisurely activities as it has murderous contracts for you to enjoy.

And even then, it doesn’t appear on Mondays and Wednesdays (in-game).

Fortunately, this mission isn’t too strenuous.

11Enforcer

Location:Only appears during a four-star wanted level.

10Dumper

Location:Hunter Quarry in Bone County.

dead character, blood on wall, heart in chains

Note that the quarry is the only location where the Dumper will spawn.

You won’t be able to get away forever.

9Go-Kart

Location:Varies, Under the Storm Drains near Ganton.

A Hotknife parked out in San Fierro in GTA SA

Karts are so fun to drive around San Fierro and Los Santos.

Too bad the game isn’t well-optimized for them.

You might find yourself getting caught on the sidewalk way more often than necessary.

For such a fun little car, they sure are buggy.

They don’t start spawning until you complete “Cut Throat Business.”

From there, you could find Karts hidden all over San Andreas.

However, their locations seem to be temperamental.

If you’re fast, you’ve got the option to steal one from a race.

8Hotknife

Location:San Fierro Driving School or the Las Venturas Strip.

Luckily there are a few ways to do so.

If you’re a bad driver, head to Las Venturas and hope it appears on the Strip.

Keep in mind the Hot Knife is a rare spawn.

A Phoenix parked in a driveway in GTA SA

Your last option is to run through Vigilante missions until one appears.

Unfortunately, you’re free to’t customize the car.

Location:Appears in the final mission of the game.

Triple-A Games

The SWAT is an APC that only appears in the final mission, “End of the Line.”

While you’ve got the option to find two, only one can be saved in a garage.

It may seem like a lot of effort, but the SWAT is a remarkable vehicle.

GTA San Andreas

Despite its size, it’s fast and great at cornering.

Don’t forget its water cannon and high armor.

It’s the next best thing to the Rhino.

Why does Berkley’s RC van have such a low spawn rate?

It doesn’t have any impressive stats or features.

Due to San Andreas’s age and RAM limitations, whatever vehicle you drive influences other spawning cars.

5Phoenix

Location:Rarely spawns inside the impound lot of the San Fierro Police Headquarters.

Despite appearing regularly along Vice City’s Ocean Beach, the Phoenix is harder to find in San Andreas.

You could enter the San Fierro street race and intentionally fail to try and keep it.

It’s more likely the car will be destroyed than recovered.
