[Sans + Serif] 3 fonts from fictional ads to identify

The following samples are from fictional ads from the game GTA: San Andreas.
For a modification for GTA IV, we are busy recreating some of these ads to a more high quality version. Of course we try to use the same fonts. We already have recreated several of these ads, but of the following ads, I have not been able to recognize the fonts being used.
Sample #2 reminds me of a font I ever had, but I can't recall the name and thus not check if it is the one being used.
Sample #3 is hard to identify due to only having these letters.
Could you please help me with identifying these fonts?
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Martijn

1. "Sprunk" could be Colonel Serial Bold, artificially expanded
2. "LOVIN' A LOAN, get the money..": the image is not very clear,
but it looks like Abadi MT Condensed Extra Bold - maybe a bit compressed...
3. Can't be sure for the "MOTEL" as the image contains only a few common letters,
but I think Frutiger Pro 77 Black Condensed is a close enough match
Good Luck with you GTA IV

Hi Fivos,
Thanks for your reply!
1 looks very much like it, so I'll use that one. Also 3 looks okay to me.
For 2, Abadi is similar, but not a hit. I think I had this specific font on my previous installation, but I still wouldn't know its name.
Thanks again for your help! Further suggestions for 2 are still open.
Kind regards,
Martijn
