Stolen goods go to fences, that much is stated. What I cannot work out is whether fences are a location you drive to, a contact in the phone, or both.
Also does the condition of a stolen car affect what a fence pays, or is that only for the resale value shown in the app? Those might be the same number and might not be.
Accepted answer
On the value question: damaging a car is stated to lower its resale value, and the app shows a value before you take it. The most likely reading is that those are the same number and damage reduces it, but nobody has shown a fence transaction on screen.
That tension is almost certainly deliberate. Steal the nice car, then have to drive it like your gran is in the back.
if you have to drive it carefully to keep the value up thats going to be genuinely funny in a game about car chases
and then the cops show up and the whole plan is gone. thats such a good loop
Fences are described as where stolen goods go, and that is genuinely all that is stated. Location, contact, or both is unknown.
That is the cleanest answer, thank you. Same number, damage reduces it, unconfirmed until someone sees a transaction.
