Mission walkthrough

  1. Locate the car near the café

    Travel to the marked parking area near Callahan Point. The Manana contains the body Joey wants removed. Nearby Forelli cars can start attacking once you disturb the scene, so identify the road out before getting in.

  2. Keep the Manana alive

    Drive away from the pursuers and head towards Harwood. Avoid long exchanges of vehicle damage in this fragile car. If an attacker gets alongside, use the next clear turn or traffic gap to break contact rather than grinding against it.

  3. Reach the crusher

    Follow the marked approach into the scrapyard. Slow down on the final dirt track so the car does not flip or fall into water. Destruction by an explosion does not count as disposing of it correctly.

  4. Leave the car for the crane

    Park in the marked collection area, get out and move clear. Let the crusher sequence finish. Do not re-enter the vehicle while the crane is collecting it. Completing this opens Joey's final mission, The Getaway.

Key point

Finish this mission and The Getaway before Last Requests. The normal crusher route is enough; no out-of-bounds travel or special weapon exploit is needed.

Optional for reaching the ending; required for 100% game completion.
