Leave the car in a side alley
Which vehicle you choose to get away has no significance. You should pay a bit more attention to the selection of the spot where to hide the stolen car. The heist itself is going to take place in Cypress Flats (the Southern part of Los Santos, to the West of El Burro Heights). Therefore, it would be a good idea to hide the vehicle somewhere nearby. Choose some side alley, discernibly distanced from a main road (if it is a poor location, you will get informed about that). Turn on the phone, find Michael in the contacts list and select the first item on the list (Mark Getaway Location). You can now walk away from the car.

What are the key differences between the Subtle and Obvious approaches for the Getaway Vehicle mission
The Subtle and Obvious approaches for the Getaway Vehicle mission in GTA 5, specifically for The Big Score heist, have distinct differences in strategy, crew requirements, and outcomes:
Subtle Approach
-
Strategy: This approach involves minimal confrontations. The crew dresses up as security guards, infiltrates the Union Depository, and escapes with the gold using modified Gauntlets.
-
Crew Requirements: Requires decent gunmen, good drivers (e.g., Taliana Martinez, Karim Denz), and a skilled hacker (e.g., Rickie Lukens).
-
Getaway Vehicle: Not the primary focus; instead, the crew uses the Gauntlets for the high-risk getaway.
-
Outcome: Offers a safer route but with a lower payout, around $15-$20 million per character after expenses.
Obvious Approach
-
Strategy: Involves more gunfights and aggression. The crew creates a distraction while drilling into the vault.
-
Crew Requirements: Needs cheap gunmen and skilled drivers. No hacker is required.
-
Getaway Vehicle: A four-door car is necessary for the getaway. Vehicles like the Ubermacht Oracle, Obey Tailgater, or Bravado Buffalo are recommended.
-
Outcome: Offers a higher payout, up to $30-$40 million per character, but involves more risk and combat.
In terms of the Getaway Vehicle mission itself, the Obvious approach requires you to obtain and prepare a suitable getaway vehicle, while the Subtle approach focuses on other prep missions like the Gauntlets.
