Owning a good vehicle in GTA Online is necessary to win races or stay protected against griefers and campers in the multiplayer lobbies. However, fancy features and amazing top speeds also come with a reasonably high price tag. While this is not much of an issue for experienced players, newbies often steal cars and motorcycles from random peds, as other options are expensive.

Fortunately, Rockstar Games has added several great vehicles to the game that won't tear a hole in your pocket. On top of that, they also offer good performance that is sufficient for low levels.

If you are also looking for good low-budget vehicles in Grand Theft Auto Online, this article should help you out.

5) Nagasaki Buzzard Attack Chopper

While a price tag of $1,750,000 might not look budget-friendly, this is the amount that will get you one of the cheapest yet best helicopters in GTA Online. Since players need to own an aerial vehicle in the game for efficiency and safety purposes, it is best to save up some money and go for the Nagasaki Buzzard Attack Chopper.

Being a weaponized vehicle, players can shoot Homing Missiles and fire the machine gun from this helicopter in the game. It can also fly at a top speed of 45.00 mph (233.35 km/h), which is quite fast. You can also spawn it anytime once you purchase it and register yourself as a CEO in the game.

If you've set your mind on getting a muscle car GTA Online, you should go for Vapid Pißwasser Dominator. Even though it falls in this category, the vehicle is quite sporty and manages to reach a top speed of 126.50 mph (203.58 km/h). It can also help you with heists, but beware of the random Auto Shop resetting bug that is currently plaguing the game during missions.

On top of that, you will only need to spend $315,000 to purchase the Vapid Pißwasser Dominator. The vehicle has good speed and overall performance, making it a sensible choice for new players.

The Vapid Sandking XL can only reach a top speed of 99.00 mph (159.32 km/h), which is more than enough for a vehicle that is made to tackle rough terrains. It has amazing torque and ground clearance that allows you to cross any obstacle without stopping.
