The Buffalo is not as tough as might be expected from its appearance or name, as it has a flimsy construction and is highly susceptible to firearm attack; a possible reason being the car is required to go fast, and as a result has a light chassis. While significantly speedy, the car's overpowered engine tends to result in the car constantly skidding after executing sharp cornering. | ||

* In [[The Lost and Damned]], the FIB Buffalo is the vehicle of choice for corrupt [[LCPD in GTA IV Era|LCPD]] officers [[Ed McCornish]] and [[Jimmy Matthews]] during "[[Bad Cop Drop]]", which is clearly unusual as a federal vehicle is being used by members of a police department. However, when ambushed, they are found to be accompanied by the FIB. | * In [[The Lost and Damned]], the FIB Buffalo is the vehicle of choice for corrupt [[LCPD in GTA IV Era|LCPD]] officers [[Ed McCornish]] and [[Jimmy Matthews]] during "[[Bad Cop Drop]]", which is clearly unusual as a federal vehicle is being used by members of a police department.

* Similar to the FBI vehicles from previous games, the FIB Buffalo is somewhat difficult to obtain, as it has no designated spawning locations, and only appears in certain missions or when the player has at least a 4-star wanted level. This is further made harder by the chance of the NOOSE coming after the player instead of the FIB. | * Similar to the FBI vehicles from previous games, the FIB Buffalo is somewhat difficult to obtain, as it has no designated spawning locations, and only appears in certain missions or when the player has at least a [[Wanted Level in GTA IV Era#Four stars|4-star wanted level]].

* An easy way to obtain one is to go to the [[littlelacysurprisepageant.com]] page on the Algonquin safehouse computer and then wait until they send an FIB team. If they send a [[NOOSE]] team, reload the game and try again. When they send an FIB team, just exit the house, kill the enforcers, and park it. | * An easy way to obtain one is to go to the [[littlelacysurprisepageant.com]] page on the Algonquin safehouse computer and then wait until they send an FIB team.
