Walkthrough[]
After visiting Rogue Amendiares at the Afterlife during Ghost Town, V will get a message from their old car Thorton Galena 80845, revealing its geolocation in the Badlands, due south of the Medeski Fuel Station, within the landfill.
V heads out there and checks under the hood to see if someone has been tinkering with it, and they realize the engine is still warm - someone clearly drove the vehicle recently. As they finish checking it over though they'll be approached by a woman, Lana Prince, who's both surprised and annoyed V's messing with "her" car.
Upon asking, Lana reveals that she is desperate to leave the city and has had enough of the wastelands and sees the car as her only hope to start a new life. At this point you can choose to either:
V tells Lana they can keep the car:
- V told Lana that she can keep the car, and gives Lana some suggestions of what she should be doing in order to repair the car, before leaving Night City.
V buys the car from Lana:
- V offered Lana a large sum of eurodollars in order to buy the car out of sentimental value, so that she can buy something different instead and leave Night City. This decision allowed V to reclaim the vehicle as their own.
V threatens Lana to leave:
- V threatened Lana to leave, even willing to put her under gunpoint. This decision allowed V to reclaim the vehicle as their own.

Because it sure as shit likes to take revenge.
