Import / Export
Grand Theft Auto III introduced import/export garages and cranes, Vice City continued them at Sunshine Autos and San Andreas has turned them into the primary method of acquiring your desired vehicle.
In GTA San Andreas you have to deliver 30 vehicles to the Import / Export crane at Easter Basin Docks. You'll need to use the crane to pick up the vehicles and place them on the ship in the red marker.
You'll earn huge amounts of cash for the vehicles if they are in perfect condition however some of these vehicles are very rare and can be hard to find. Until now!
Maximizing Rewards
You can either drive incredibly carefully to deliver the vehicles in perfect condition, take them to the near-by Pay N' Spray, or park them in your Doherty garage, let the door close to repair the vehicle, then follow the train tracks down to the docks.
This will ensure you earn the maximum amount for each vehicle delivery.
This guide will list the vehicles you'll need to acquire, where they are parked and screenshots will show what they look like and their locations.
The Import / Export Crane will be unlocked after you finish Cesar's Missions for the Garage in San Fierro and you'll need to complete all three lists before you're rewarded fully with game completion percent.
After you deliver each car, a new vehicle will be available for importing. You can only import vehicles on the day they are listed under on the chalk board at the end of the dock and they can cost quite a substantial amount.
Important!
The majority of the vehicles listed below will only spawn in their fixed location while they are needed for the current list at Easter Basin Docks.
If you're not on the right list, chances are the vehicle won't be there.
If a vehicle is not there, or the doors are locked when you first check, drive around the block and check again. You may need to do this a few times before the game spawns the unlocked vehicle.
