Right here we go:
I think that cars would be a great addition to the server. An example of how it could work:
The gas station on the far side of the map would be a perfect place to set it up. I once played on a server where an NPC was outside the gas station, and by interacting with him one could look at and buy cars. These purchases were permanent, and one could spawn a vehicle in another section of the interactive menu when talking with the NPC. The cars could be despawned in the same fashion, but they needed to be a certain distance from the NPC, to prevent one from merely despawning a car if it were to be stolen. A mod like the one seen here

could work admirably, but it appears that it is no longer supported, and thus might not work as intended or at all. Regardless, there are doubtless others like it that would serve.
This one could be another option:

The concept of a player being a car dealer is to me an unfavorable one, and I believe it would be better to have these cars be permanent and NPC-interaction based, like the two shown above.
These cars should be quite high priced if implemented, to encourage players to work their money up for something other than just printers or bitcoin miners. The current system doesn't really seem to encourage diligence in the earning or collecting of money. There isn't too much to truly work for, and so players just find the experience relatively shallow and find their fun and interest in breaking rules rather than working towards a prestigious goal.
That of course is my personal opinion, but either way I think that cars would be an awesome overall addition to the server. It could be a challenge to implement, but I hope that it can be done.
