The Buffalo in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] appears to be based on the [[wp:Chevrolet Camaro|third-generation Chevrolet Camaro]], but there are influences from other vehicles. The headlights are circular, similar to a [[wp:Opel Manta|Opel Manta B2]] and the third generation [[wp:Honda Integra|Honda Integra]]. A C-pillar has also been added, bearing a resemblance to a [[wp:Dodge Daytona|Dodge Daytona]]. The shape of the taillights looks closer to some [[wp:Pontiac Firebird|third-generation Pontiac Firebird]] models. The Buffalo also features a ram air hood.

The [[Bravado]] Buffalo is a sports sedan based on the [[wp:Dodge Charger|Sixth generation Dodge Charger]] as well as the [[wp:Ford Mustang|Ford Mustang GT]] for the greenhouse area, front fascia and headlights. In GTA IV, the game's rendition of the Buffalo had not been made available as a consumer model, despite numerous billboards advertising the car. Rather, the vehicle is depicted as a law enforcement vehicle for the [[Federal Investigation Bureau]], dubbed the [[FIB Buffalo]].

The [[Bravado]] Buffalo is a sports sedan based on the 2006-2010 [[wp:Dodge Charger|Sixth generation Dodge Charger]] as well as the [[wp:Ford Mustang|Ford Mustang GT]] for the greenhouse area, front fascia and headlights. In both [[GTA IV]] and [[The Lost and Damned]], the rendition of the Buffalo had not been made available as a consumer/civilian model, despite numerous billboards advertising the car. Rather, the vehicle is depicted as a law enforcement vehicle for the [[Federal Investigation Bureau]], dubbed the [[FIB Buffalo]].
   
 
The Buffalo features a custom body kit that includes larger exhaust tips, chrome wheels, and ground effects, suggesting that it is based on the Charger's SRT-8 model. Compared to the [[FIB Buffalo]]'s naturally-aspirated [[wp:V8 engine|V8 engine]], the civilian Buffalo has a supercharged, high-displacement V8 engine.

The Buffalo returns in ''[[Grand Theft Auto V]]'', with the normal version having the same design as The Ballad of Gay Tony model. The Buffalo can be purchased in [[Grand Theft Auto Online|GTA Online]] on [[southernsanandreassuperautos.com]] for $35,000.

[[File:Fib badges.png|thumb|Shared badging on the Buffalo and FIB Buffalo.]]
 
The FIB Buffalo is based on the [[wp:Dodge Charger Police package version|2006-2010 Dodge Charger Police Package]], and as with most cars some things have been changed and rearranged. Most noticeably the tail lights, headlights and rear license plate have been changed; also the front fascia has some subtle similarities to the [[wp:Ford Mustang (fifth generation)#Mustang|2005–2009 Ford Mustang.]]. Red and light-blue lights can be found in grilles, front bumper and front and rear windows. The FIB Buffalo always comes in black with black alloy wheels.

===='''Police Buffalo''' Variant <small>(''The Ballad of Gay Tony'' only)</small>====
 
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:100%>
 
The vehicle is a [[Bravado]] [[Buffalo]] similar to the first and second generation [[wp:Dodge Charger (LX)#Police Package Version|Dodge Charger Police Package]] used by the [[wp:NYPD|New York Police Department]], is a variant of the [[Buffalo]], like the FIB Buffalo, and the three share similar performance.
 
 
In [[multiplayer]], the Police Buffalo can be found at a majority of police stations, and is not accessible in single player. When spawned via hacks or trainers in single player, players can notice that sometimes, strangely enough, regular civilians may drive the Police Buffalos on streets.
 
 
The livery is almost exactly the same as those used on the [http://images38.fotki.com/v1275/photos/4/49373/2273006/cnpca8991-vi.jpg New York Police Department's Chargers].

==='''FIB''' Variant===

In Grand Theft Auto V, the FIB Buffalo looks the same as in GTA IV, however, more interior lights have been added to the front and rear of the car.

==='''Police Cruiser''' Variant===
 
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:100%>
 
The car's model remains the same, in that it has the same body as ''TBoGT'' rendition. The livery, however, has been changed to a similar livery to the [[LSPD (HD Universe)|LSPD]] to reflect its [[wp:Los Angeles Police Department|real life inspiration]]. The car's emergency lighting has also been updated, featuring LEDs on the grill, roof, back window and rear lights. It is unequivocaly the rarest police car in the entire ''GTA'' series, since it only spawns in a certain part of Los Santos near the Mission Row police station, either on patrol or in the bus stop area at night, and it is extremely rare to spawn in either circumstance.
 
 
Unlike the other Police and Sheriff Cruisers and vehicles, the LSPD Buffalo does not have a two-digit number on the roof. It is, however, the only one having a badge painted on the hood. Sometimes, a version with a low-level spoiler attached sometimes spawns as well.
 
 
The vehicle has had a makeover for the Enhanced edition of GTA V. Now sports a similar livery to the older [[Police Cruiser]], including air identification numbers and the city seal on the side and a new pushbar has been added to the front bumper. However, the characteristic badge is now removed from the hood. Also, the car boasts a metallic paint finish, compared to the matte finish of the previous version. The spoiler option remains available, and the small bug with the grill-mounted blue light has been corrected (previously the housing was white).

In GTA San Andreas, the car is laid out in an FR layout, and sports a high-performance V8 engine that delivers great acceleration and speed, but comes at the cost of high rear end power, which may lead to loss of traction. Despite being a sports car, the Buffalo handles very well off road, making it a spectacular cross-country vehicle.

The Buffalo's performance in TBoGT is very good for a four-door sedan, courtesy of its apparent supercharged 5.7 liter V8 engine which is more superior than its law enforcement variants. As expected, the car is capable of good acceleration and an excellent top speed, with its powerful engine coupled up to a 5-speed gearbox in a FR layout, because it is being lighter than the FIB Buffalo. While the car is still prone to fishtailing, the car's grip on the road is equally excellent. Durability is great and like the [[Infernus]], [[Banshee]], [[F620]], [[Sultan RS]] and [[Bullet]], the Buffalo backfires from its exhaust when shifting gears.

The Buffalo's performance in TBoGT is very good for a four-door sedan, courtesy of its supercharged 5.7 liter V8 engine which is more superior than it's law enforcement variants. As expected, the car is capable of good acceleration which is 0-60 mph in 3.9 seconds&nbsp;and an excellent top speed of 201 mph (323 km/h) and a 5-speed semi-automatic gearbox in a FR layout, because it is being lighter than the FIB Buffalo. While the car is still prone to fishtailing, the car's grip on the road is equally excellent. And like the [[Infernus]], [[Banshee]], [[F620]], [[Sultan RS]] and [[Bullet]], the Buffalo backfires from its exhaust when shifting gears.

====Police Buffalo Variant====
 
For performance, the Buffalo is best described as "above average". It will out-accelerate any other standard-issue police vehicle in the game, save for of course the [[Police Stinger]], which is obviously either a [[wp:D.A.R.E.|D.A.R.E.]] car or some other community-oriented policing strategy. Its top speed, engine and weight all appear to be taken from its unmarked counterpart, the [[FIB Buffalo]].
 
   
  +
===''Grand Theft Auto V''===
Handling-wise, the Police Buffalo is well-balanced, and sticks to the road a bit better than the apparently aging [[Vapid]] platform that it partially replaces. Due to RWD, over-steer is very prevalent and the Buffalo's V8 engine requires huge RPM to accommodate for it at low speeds. At high speed, the Buffalo is remarkably stable, and lift-throttle over-steer is nearly non-existent.
 
  +
[[File:Buffalo-GTAV-RSCStats.png|thumb|200px|Performance statistics on [[Rockstar Games Social Club]].]]
  +
Returning to GTA V, the Buffalo retains its mostly-good performance, having an acceptable top-speed, and average acceleration. Thanks to its sturdy front structure, the Buffalo can cope with several head-on crashes before the wheels make an average negative-camber. The braking distance is among the best in the class, and still performs just as good in wet weather, thanks to its thick tires, and its firm brake disks. The engine powering the car is a what sounds to be a V10, yet modeled as twin-cam straight-4, being situated at the front, and having a RWD drivetrain, an average layout for sports-sedans.
   
  +
The Buffalo's engine and RWD drivetrain works hard to propel it off the line, making for an impressive top speed and 0-60 time. As per mentioned, the engine sounds to be a low-revving V10 and the engine gives the car more get up and go, which makes the Buffalo a faster vehicle than one would assume. Its handling feels more sport-like, and combined with a firm suspension and good traction, the Buffalo can easily be thrown around curves and sharp turns at high speeds, and also makes the Buffalo a rather fun and exciting vehicle to drive. The Buffalo has good traction on and off road, and allows it to climb steep grades and enables it to go significantly off road, despite its RWD drivetrain and lower ride height. Braking feels strong and is excellent for a vehicle its size, enabling the Buffalo to come to a complete stop in a shorter amount of time compared to other vehicles in its class, and ABS is standard across the lineup. Crash deformation is also impressive, allowing the Buffalo to take multiple direct hits before the engine erupts in flames. Overall, the Buffalo is well rounded and balanced, making it an excellent choice for a getaway vehicle, especially during hot pursuit.
Crash deformation is average. In frontal impacts, the suspension appears to be tough, but its engine only takes a few good hits before it begins to smoke.

====FIB Buffalo Variant====
 
The FIB Buffalo's smooth yet potent performance gives it a big-engined, supercharged feel. It has a very torqueful 5.7 liter V8 engine (which resembles the Charger's 5.7L Hemi V8) that also provides enough power to out-accelerate most cars in the game. The top speed is relatively high, too, however the 5-speed gearbox may at times feel like it limits this somewhat. The Buffalo provides superb protection from firearm attacks or crash damage. Thanks to RWD, the Buffalo may oversteer in some cases; in others, particularly in high-speed corners, the car neither understeers nor oversteers, and gives a balanced feel that differs from most American muscle cars. This car also rides exceptionally smoothly; when on bumpy/hilly roads, the soft-feeling suspension keeps the car level and at times bounces ever so slightly. Nonetheless, it is the fastest vehicle in the law enforcement vehicle class. It is up to 185 mph (300 km/h).

====Police Buffalo Variant====
 
There is little difference between ''GTA IV'' and ''GTA V'', except that the vehicle is much more durable. It does have an issue, however, in that its front axle bends easier than other Police cars, especially its [[Police Cruiser|older competitor]]. It is still an excellent choice for most officers if treated right.

=== Red Buffalo ===
 
 
[[Mori Kibbutz]] owns a unique red Buffalo that can be found in [[Kibbutz Number One]]. To obtain it, the player can take it to the parking space in [[Niko Bellic|Niko]]'s [[South Bohan safehouse]] and kill Mori, this will cause to fail the mission but the car can be saved. Another method without failing the mission is to reach the destination in the map, let Mori get off and then the player can take the vehicle to the South Bohan safehouse and proceed with the mission.

BuffaloS-GTAV-front.png|The [[Buffalo S]] in ''[[Grand Theft Auto V]]''.
Formerly known as the "second generation" Buffalo, it is the facelifted version of the existing [[Buffalo]], with a supercharged engine, new front fascia, rims and taillights based on the [[wp:Dodge Charger|Dodge Charger SRT8]].
 
  +
</gallery>
   
  +
===Emergency Service Variants===
The Buffalo S has a much more aggressive appearance, giving it the look of the modern [[United States of America|American]] sports car. The front fascia consists of one large grille that extends from the hood to the front bumper and two smaller grilles near the tyres. On the side, there are two small [[wp:Carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer|CFRP]] panels. It also has unique rims that consist of ten spokes. The rear of the Buffalo S remains largely the same, except for the taillights, based on the [[wp:Honda NSX|Acura NSX concept]]. In the single player game, this version can only be obtained through [[Franklin Clinton|Franklin]], as it does not spawn anywhere else in the game world, although it can be purchased in [[Grand Theft Auto Online|GTA Online]] on [[southernsanandreassuperautos.com]] for $96,000.
 
  +
There are two emergency service equivalents featured in both ''[[Grand Theft Auto IV]]'' and ''[[Grand Theft Auto V]]'':
  +
*[[FIB Buffalo]] - An unmarked variant operated by the [[FIB]]. Also known as "'''FIB'''" in GTA V.
  +
*[[Police Buffalo]] - A police equivalent used by the [[Liberty City Police Department (HD Universe)|LCPD ]] in TBOGT, and the [[Los Santos Police Department (HD Universe)|LSPD]] in GTA V. Also known as the "'''Police Cruiser'''" in GTA V.

==Performance==
 
===''GTA V''===
 
The Buffalo S has a slightly better performance than the regular Buffalo due to the stronger engine. The acceleration is now much quicker, while the steering has been improved. It is now capable of causing large amounts of damage without even being effected, due to its possibly-upgraded fascia and structure.

==Sprunk Buffalo==
 
{{Next-Gen}}
 
The enhanced edition of ''[[Grand Theft Auto V]]'' features a unique Buffalo S with a [[Sprunk]] livery, exclusively for players returning from [[Xbox 360]]/[[PS3]]. This variant appears during the [[Stock Car Racing|Stock Car Races]] and will become available in each protagonist's garage once the player wins the 4th stock car race.
 
The stock cars may be modified further in [[Los Santos Customs]] including the ability to respray the underlying color. The sponsorship decals can not be changed or removed.
 
 
Like with all race versions of vehicles in GTA V, the race version of the Buffalo includes a significant improvement on its braking capability, top speed, and acceleration. And as with all racing variants, there is no improvement to handling. Despite these upgrades however, there are still much better sport-class vehicles that surpass the Buffalo.
 
 
The Sprunk Buffalo was originally purchasable from [[Southernsanandreassuperautos.com]].

====FIB Buffalo Variant====
+
===''Grand Theft Auto V''===
  +
*In [[Los Santos Customs]], there is a glitch that lets the player remove the bumpers and skirts from the regular Buffalo.
* The FIB Buffalo has two sets of blue and red emergency lights (one set in the front grille, the other in the rear windshield), whilst LCPD cars use white and red. Red and blue are illegal for use as emergency car colors in Liberty City (New York City, due to it being against New York City code. This explains why all LCPD/NYPD Emergency vehicles have red and white lights); it can be deduced that because the FIB Buffalo is a Federal Car, it is exempt from the city's laws.
 
* In [[The Lost and Damned|TLAD]], it is driven by all of the corrupt Police Officers in the mission [[Bad Cop Drop]], which is strange as two of the named ones are a [[Liberty City Police Department (HD Universe)|LCPD]] Task Force set out to watch the [[Angels of Death]], but when ambushed, they are accompanied by the [[Federal Investigation Bureau|FIB]].
 
* Unusually, all undercover Police Units seen in [[Grand Theft Auto IV|GTA IV]] and the expansions use the FIB Buffalo, which being a Federal Vehicle and also rather highly priced, would be extremely unlikely. However, this is compensated by the use of only one or two at a time, or until they are destroyed by the player.
 
* This is the transportation of choice for FIB Agents. The LCPD nor the [[NOOSE]] will use this vehicle. When the player is being hunted down by the Police, FIB Agents will come armed with M4s, MP10s, Pump Action Shotguns and Pistols. If the player can get ahold of an FIB Buffalo, they can use it to get past toll booths without paying, sound the sirens to legally run lights and to make drivers pull over and also to access the Police Computer to capture criminals, like in other Police Vehicles. In [[The Ballad of Gay Tony|TBoGT]], they use [[Assault SMG]]s. They are the only NPCs with the ability to fire the Assault SMG through a vehicle's window. In GTA V, it has been replaced by the [[FIB Granger]] as the FIB main vehicle.
 
* The FIB Buffalo can be disabled by impacting one of its rear wheel wells with a large vehicle like the [[Trashmaster]], the [[Securicar]], the [[Enforcer]], the [[Bus]], and the [[APC]]. The player can then easily kill the FIB Agents inside the vehicle as it can not move.
 
* If you drive an FIB Buffalo while on a Police chase, the Police scanner will not recognize the FIB Buffalo and the Bravado Brand, instead, you will hear the Police scanner go off, but with no voice.
 
* If a police officer is arresting someone and waiting for a police car, using the FIB Buffalo cheat will make the officer enter that vehicle with his criminal as long as the vehicle is near him
 
* Most of the time when a FIB vehicle appears in a vehicle pursuit, they will have their lights off attempting to look like a normal civilian car trying to surprise the player.
 
** However, no civilian version of this car is available in GTA IV and TLAD, which makes it easily recognizable.
 
* In GTA IV, the FIB Buffalo is the only law enforcement vehicle that [[Niko Bellic]] can use when carrying out [[Girlfriends in GTA IV|girlfriends]] on dates (law enforcement vehicles cannot be used during dates). Some girlfriends will even comment on the vehicle as a "nice car."

Revision as of 00:45, 7 February 2016

Template:Infobox vehicles

The Bravado marketing department know just what we need - another resurrected 1960s muscle car for the over-muscled EDM generation. It's a vehicle with aggressive lines for aggressive drivers.

The Buffalo is a vehicle that appeared as a muscle car in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and a sports sedan in The Ballad of Gay Tony, Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online. It is manufactured by Bravado in the HD Universe.

Design

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

The Buffalo in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas appears to be based on the third-generation Chevrolet Camaro, but there are influences from other vehicles. The headlights are circular, similar to a Opel Manta B2 and the third generation Honda Integra. A C-pillar has also been added, bearing a resemblance to a Dodge Daytona. The shape of the taillights looks closer to some third-generation Pontiac Firebird models. The Buffalo also features a ram air hood.

The Ballad of Gay Tony

The Bravado Buffalo is a sports sedan based on the 2006-2010 Sixth generation Dodge Charger as well as the Ford Mustang GT for the greenhouse area, front fascia and headlights. In both GTA IV and The Lost and Damned, the rendition of the Buffalo had not been made available as a consumer/civilian model, despite numerous billboards advertising the car. Rather, the vehicle is depicted as a law enforcement vehicle for the Federal Investigation Bureau, dubbed the FIB Buffalo.

The Buffalo features a custom body kit that includes larger exhaust tips, chrome wheels, and ground effects, suggesting that it is based on the Charger's SRT-8 model. Compared to the FIB Buffalo's naturally-aspirated V8 engine, the civilian Buffalo has a supercharged, high-displacement V8 engine.

Grand Theft Auto V

The Buffalo returns in Grand Theft Auto V, with the normal version having the same design as The Ballad of Gay Tony model. The Buffalo can be purchased in GTA Online on southernsanandreassuperautos.com for $35,000.

Performance

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

In GTA San Andreas, the car is laid out in an FR layout, and sports a high-performance V8 engine that delivers great acceleration and speed, but comes at the cost of high rear end power, which may lead to loss of traction. Despite being a sports car, the Buffalo handles very well off road, making it a spectacular cross-country vehicle.

The Ballad of Gay Tony

The Buffalo's performance in TBoGT is very good for a four-door sedan, courtesy of its apparent supercharged 5.7 liter V8 engine which is more superior than its law enforcement variants. As expected, the car is capable of good acceleration and an excellent top speed, with its powerful engine coupled up to a 5-speed gearbox in a FR layout, because it is being lighter than the FIB Buffalo. While the car is still prone to fishtailing, the car's grip on the road is equally excellent. Durability is great and like the Infernus, Banshee, F620, Sultan RS and Bullet, the Buffalo backfires from its exhaust when shifting gears.

GTA IV Overview

Template:GTA IV Vehicle Stats

Grand Theft Auto V

File:Buffalo-GTAV-RSCStats.png

Performance statistics on Rockstar Games Social Club.

Returning to GTA V, the Buffalo retains its mostly-good performance, having an acceptable top-speed, and average acceleration. Thanks to its sturdy front structure, the Buffalo can cope with several head-on crashes before the wheels make an average negative-camber. The braking distance is among the best in the class, and still performs just as good in wet weather, thanks to its thick tires, and its firm brake disks. The engine powering the car is a what sounds to be a V10, yet modeled as twin-cam straight-4, being situated at the front, and having a RWD drivetrain, an average layout for sports-sedans.

The Buffalo's engine and RWD drivetrain works hard to propel it off the line, making for an impressive top speed and 0-60 time. As per mentioned, the engine sounds to be a low-revving V10 and the engine gives the car more get up and go, which makes the Buffalo a faster vehicle than one would assume. Its handling feels more sport-like, and combined with a firm suspension and good traction, the Buffalo can easily be thrown around curves and sharp turns at high speeds, and also makes the Buffalo a rather fun and exciting vehicle to drive. The Buffalo has good traction on and off road, and allows it to climb steep grades and enables it to go significantly off road, despite its RWD drivetrain and lower ride height. Braking feels strong and is excellent for a vehicle its size, enabling the Buffalo to come to a complete stop in a shorter amount of time compared to other vehicles in its class, and ABS is standard across the lineup. Crash deformation is also impressive, allowing the Buffalo to take multiple direct hits before the engine erupts in flames. Overall, the Buffalo is well rounded and balanced, making it an excellent choice for a getaway vehicle, especially during hot pursuit.

Unique Colours

Red

Mori Kibbutz owns a unique red Buffalo that can be found in Kibbutz Number One. To obtain it, the player can take it to the parking space in Niko's South Bohan safehouse and kill Mori, this will cause to fail the mission but the car can be saved. Another method without failing the mission is to reach the destination in the map, let Mori get off and then the player can take the vehicle to the South Bohan safehouse and proceed with the mission.

It is also found in the mission This Ain't Checkers, Mori's red Buffalo, along with the other 3 cars available, is equipped with Nitro to help the player win the Triathlon set up by Mori.

Blue

At the start of the mission Bang Bang, the player has the choice between Tony's black Schafter or a unique blue Buffalo. This Buffalo is presumably Evan Moss's car as he is the only person in the apartment other than Tony and this is the only time the Buffalo is seen.

Variants

Civilian

There is a sportier, higher performance edition, known as the Buffalo S found in Grand Theft Auto V.

Emergency Service Variants

There are two emergency service equivalents featured in both Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto V:

  • FIB Buffalo - An unmarked variant operated by the FIB. Also known as "FIB" in GTA V.
  • Police Buffalo - A police equivalent used by the LCPD in TBOGT, and the LSPD in GTA V. Also known as the "Police Cruiser" in GTA V.

Notable Owners

Locations

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

The Ballad of Gay Tony

  • Very uncommon unless the player drives one.
  • If the player is hijacking a boat or helicopter during a Drug War, they will be required to bring it to the docks in Northwood. The Buffalo will be right in front of the player after the ending cut-scene, and it can be taken freely.
  • Commonly spawns in north Algonquin in multiplayer.
  • Henrique will deliver one to the player if called.
  • Uniquely colored examples can be found during Drug Wars as a target vehicle for convoy missions.

Grand Theft Auto V

  • The Buffalo can be found mostly across Los Santos.
  • It can also be found on the highways around Los Santos and Blaine County.

Grand Theft Auto Online

Trivia

General

  • The default radio stations for the Buffalo are:
  • The way that the Buffalo in the 3D Universe is a 2-door and the variant in the HD Universe is a 4-door is similar to how the Dodge Charger, the basis of the HD Universe variant, went from its early production as a 2-door to a 4-door from 2006 until its present day counterpart.
  • The original San Andreas car's name may be a reference to the Ford Taurus. Both names are a reference to forms of cattle (in the Buffalo's case, a type of bison).
    • Another possible name association is that the primary method of defense of a buffalo (bison) is to charge at a threat with its horns. As the later versions of the vehicle were modeled after the Dodge Charger, this may be the reason the name was used in the HD games.
  • For any player who views their Online garage and owns a Buffalo or Buffalo S, will be displayed as the car itself. Player's upgrades remain unless changed.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

  • The Buffalo shares its engine sound with the Alpha and the Infernus.
  • Sometimes, the Buffalo at Catalina's hideout will have rain particles coming off of the rear trunk that are only visible by looking at it through the camera. This is more likely to occur during foggy weather or in the late day and sunrise.

Grand Theft Auto IV

  • The Buffalo shown in billboards has a large Bravado logo within its grille, unlike the FIB Buffalo or the civilian Buffalo which have a small logo above the grille. Interestingly, the billboard Buffalo also retains the police lights found on the FIB variant.

The Ballad of Gay Tony

  • The Buffalo is equipped with a GPS system with a female voice, but only if the player leaves the "selected cars" (default) option in the audio menu.
  • In The Ballad of Gay Tony, if the player takes a Buffalo to a Pay 'n' Spray too many times, it will turn a unique, dark green color. This color will then be permanent, and no amount of subsequent resprays will change it. This is most likely a glitch, as almost every other car in the game will continually cycle through its color palette. The exceptions are the Dukes, the Infernus and the PMP 600, which all suffer from the glitch.
  • Though the paintjob of Mori's Buffalo is regarded as unique in-game, Buffalo's with the same color can be found, driven by pedestrians.
  • The Buffalo appears in Drug Wars where it is used to escort drugs. These sometimes have unique paintjobs.
  • The Buffalo features the same wheels as the Rebla.

Grand Theft Auto V

  • In Los Santos Customs, there is a glitch that lets the player remove the bumpers and skirts from the regular Buffalo.
