What is free
At the time of writing eight cars are free. Four are debadged real cars that keep their real names: the 2016 BMW M3 (F80), the Mercedes-AMG G63 (v2), the 2016 Dodge Charger and the Dodge Durango (Police). The other four come from the certified lore-friendly line and are renamed in GTA style: the Police Cruiser, which stands in for the Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor, the Ubermacht B30 for the BMW M3 (E30), the Vapid Dominator GT for the Ford Mustang GT and the Benefactor Dubsta Halloween for the Mercedes-AMG G63.
Each one is a complete add-on vehicle, the same kind of file you get when you buy a car, with the same install steps, updates and Discord support. The set can change, so the Free cars collection and the list on this page always show what is free right now. A free car's page shows the price it used to sell for struck through next to the word Free.
There is no free car pack. The free cars are single cars that you claim one at a time; the packs are all paid.
The conditions
There are two. First, you need a Goodara account. The account is free, and it is what lets the car sit in your library so you can download it again later. Second, downloading a free car means you agree to get our emails about new cars and deals. Every one of those emails has a one-click unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing does not take the car away: it stays in your library and you can still claim other free cars.
That is all. A free car never goes through the cart or the checkout, so no card or payment details are asked for.
How to claim a free car
Open the car's page from the Free cars collection. If you are not signed in, the button reads "Create a free account to download". Register or sign in and you are sent back to the same car, which is then claimed without another click.
If you are already signed in, the button reads "Download free". Press it and the car is added to your account library and the download opens. The link is also sent to your email. To get the file again later, open your account library; a car you have already claimed shows a direct download button on its page.
How to install one
A free car installs like any other add-on resource. Download and unzip it, put the resource folder in your server's resources directory, add ensure followed by the folder's name to server.cfg, and restart the server. Then spawn the car with the spawn name shown on its product page.
The cars are standard streamed resources and run on QBCore, ESX and standalone servers. To sell one in a dealership rather than spawn it, register the spawn name in your framework's vehicle shop; the vehicle shop post in the related reading covers QBCore, Qbox and ESX.
Debadged or lore-friendly: which free cars to take
The eight free cars come from both lines in the catalog, so they are also a way to see the difference before you spend anything. The debadged cars have no real-world badges but keep the real model name, so the free M3 is listed and spawned as a BMW M3. The certified lore-friendly cars are renamed as well, with a GTA-style make and model, so the free E30 stand-in is an Ubermacht B30.
Which line suits you depends on your server's own rules about real-world car names. If you are not sure, claim one of each and look at them in game.
What the paid range adds
Coverage. Eight cars will not fill a dealership, and the free set has no supercar, no motorcycle and no EMS vehicle. The paid catalog has the specific models players ask for by name, often in several generations and builds, along with police and EMS fleets and engine sounds.
The packs are where the price per car drops. A pack bundles a set of cars in one purchase for less than buying the same cars singly, and the car packs page has a table comparing every pack by vehicle count and price. A sensible order is to claim the free cars, check that they install and perform well on your server, then buy one pack for breadth and a few singles for the models your players request.
