Stevie's Car Thefts

Overview

Stevie's Car Thefts are a GTA IV side mission in which Niko Bellic steals thirty specific vehicles for Stevie, a car dealer and friend of Brucie Kibbutz. They unlock once the Alderney safehouse is available and Niko has finished No. 1, A Long Way to Fall and Smackdown. Brucie calls to introduce Stevie, who then sends texts giving each car's district, street and landmark, along with a photo of the exact spot where it is parked. Every car must be brought to S&M Auto Sales in Chase Point, Bohan. Payment depends on condition, from $2,310 for a Faggio Sport up to $36,300 for a Super GT or Turismo.

Walkthrough

1. Complete No. 1, A Long Way to Fall and Smackdown, then wait for Stevie's first text.
2. Read the hint and match the photo to your surroundings; the car is usually within a block.
3. Get in; a message confirms you have found the right vehicle.
4. Drive it carefully to S&M Auto Sales in Chase Point.
5. Collect payment and wait for the next text, repeating until all thirty are delivered.

Tips

• Light scratches and a smashed window do not lower the price, but broken lights and dents do.
• The South Bohan safehouse is a block from the garage: saving there repairs the car and moves time forward so the next text arrives sooner.
• A Pay 'n' Spray also fixes damage and passes time.
• Undelivered cars can be parked at a safehouse to keep; they respawn at their original spot.
• Avoid using the phone's sleep mode after Brucie's Exotic Exports, as it can stop Stevie's first text from ever arriving.

Rewards and unlocks

• Up to $398,970 in total for all thirty cars.
• "You Got the Message" achievement for delivering the full list.
• Afterward any vehicle can be sold at the garage, with prices dropping for repeated models.
• Required for 100% completion.
