There are many vehicles that you can unlock, to help you around the city. Just as you do with characters, many of the vehicles will require you to find a token to unlock it before you can buy it, and all vehicles that must be bought will cost 150,000 studs each.
Below you will find three lists for the different types of vehicle, and the vehicles are listed in the order they appear in the vehicle selection screens.
