Have you ever been freeroaming and see a Felon GT? Jump out, grab it, drive it to your garage, stash it, leave your garage, then request your Zentorno via the interact menu? Only to realize that your Zentorno is a 725K Felon? I'm not sure how this works, but if you're roaming around in car A and pickup a car B, then drive car B to your garage, then leave your garage (Car A is still outside) then request your car A via the interact menu, You get car B BUT it still has the value of car A. This is a killer... 1.2M in cars lost because of this... Reposted this from my post on the Rockstar forums.
It occurred to me personally, though I had an Audi R8, which means it wasn't as severe as it might have been.
This situation has never occurred before. I believe they're attempting to complicate the process of earning money. Preventing sales of cars worth over $500,000 is frustrating, and removing the replay option after missions feels excessive. It's understandable to dislike losing effective ways to make money, but eliminating most good methods seems too much.
I owned a garage packed with vehicles and invested a total of 14 million dollars (the numbers are real, not just exaggerated). I followed the guide on how to move them. All my cars disappeared. I opened a support ticket and after two weeks, they sent me 3 million GTA$ as compensation. It seems there’s a known issue where if you didn’t play since December 2013 on the console, your cars are lost—though this wasn’t mentioned in their transfer instructions.
They are not covered unless you have proper insurance and tracking in place.
