Before you can begin the operation of stealing an expensive vehicle, you first need to complete some set-up missions. This is why they are considered mini-heists. Completing the mission will yield around $200,000 to $400,000 cash.
Is Red’s Auto Parts Salvage Yard business worth it?
It’s a decent mid-game business. The mini-heist missions can take a bit of time to complete but they do give out a decent payoff.

This way, you can save up more money to buy the rest of the upgrades.
