Stats are stats, and cars are the most expensive way to increase your stats. It's best to wait until the end game to use in-game cash to buy cars or farm them when you get to a high enough level.

200 Audis cost $180m and only increase your stats 2,200 / 1,800 max. That's $82k per attack point / $100k per defense point or $45k / total points gained.

Compare that with Steel Garrotes for $53k (10 / 5) for attack or Blast Shields $210k (1 / 19) for defense. Let's say your last weapons for armor and melee are Wrestler's Mask (4 / 7) and Butterfly Knives (5 / 5). SGs would cost $11k per attack point gained and BSs would cost $18k / defense point gained. Much cheaper way of improving your stats if you needed too.
Thanks a lot for the math Murf, very interesting. Thing is I'm pretty much maxed on those other weapons. I'll think about it, don't have enough money to get the cars right now.
