When I called the BMW dealership today the salesman said that they just got the car in this morning so no pictures on their website. I asked him to send me pictures to my cell phone, which he has not yet done. After that he asked what was the price listed on the website. I said $75k and then he said it was wrong and it should be $79k; however, he said it is still the lowest price GTS in the nation. We will see if this is legit or not.

 

just spoke w salesman, 75700 is what they took it in for, selling price is 79991. He said it was error by service department.

 

Interesting that he would disclose the purchase price. Did he provide you with any more information about the condition of the vehicle or pictures?

 

i asked about the tires and he said they appear to have lots of tread left. he sent me photos to my phone. looks nice, a little dirty.
I doubt they paid 75700

 

Sales tactic. No way they paid that for it.

 

yeah i concur, i just told my buddy they prob paid 65700. He said we have over 10 inquires, thats prob why the price is now 79991.

he said something to the effect 75700 is what we paid and the service dept made an error, it auto-corrected...??? "still the lowest priced GTS in the nation". "My general manager is a Porsche fanatic"
whatevers...i just told him i would call back if i had other questions.

 

Well the picture lines up with the build sheet and it looks cosmetically clean. If you are a potential buyer, then I would still get a PPI and demand that BMW honor its published price of $75,700, which is still what it says on its website as of 4:05 pm PST on June 6, 2024.

 

BMW of Camarillo. IMHO a smoking deal for the last NA 991.1 GTS. SOLD. Looks like someone got a great deal! Hopefully. Rennlister who can post the sale details.

 

I looked at this car since they were not too far from me. Bumper and whole left side of the car has been repainted - and not in the best quality. you can see drip marks, and overspray. The tires are bald, and at full lock (u turns) there is a weird noise that sounds/feels worse than the standard ackerman effect.

If you can deal with these, it drove pretty well, and I actually like the cloth insert seats.

 

Against popular opinion, CPO is utter BS. What they do is (if it qualifies by year and miles) they'll slap a CPO on it. That does two things, increases the sales profit with zero investment, and repair that won't fail inspection or leave a puddle on the ground they will NOT fix. By doing this they increase their net profits front end because the dealer itself doesn't incur those pre-delivery expenses, the CPO is actually aftermarket through the brand so those same repairs that should have been made (as an expense) will now be paid to the dealer later on when the customer complains (as a profit) ...and the customer ignorant to it all looks at it as a GREAT THING they paid extra for a car with CPO because the first problems they never had to pay for. Its a win-win for the dealer, and the customer believes he got his money worth and praises CPO forever. This was the practice at my local Mercedes, VW, and Audi dealer we did business with.

Even as a dealer, we would send someone to PPI a CPO in person when they were listed wholesale... and they were not so great every time.
CPO or not, get a PPI and you'll see. Even an Acura I bought from the AD was CPO with 3k miles and showed their pretty CPO sheet. Turned out it was frame damaged by a customer, rocker replaced, bottom of the car painted, all at their own facility. Carfax was good, and they KNEW all of that because they did the work themselves at their Honda shop. Needless to say, when I found out, they regretted their shady business practices. When it was all said and done I got all my money back and got to keep the car. Beware out there.

What says the 991 crowd: hot deal, or no? Low mileage and thorough service records more than offset the accident? Shopping for a track car that has to be PDK...

Accident listed, I’d pass. You can start to get clean C2S coupes in the high 60’s depending on mileage.

 

Agreed. Unless it's a unique spec (doesn't appear to be in this case) and you had detailed info on the accident, what was damaged, who fixed it, etc. I would steer clear.

With that said, if you're looking for a track car and as long as there was no structural damage, you could try to lob over a more reasonable offer pending a PPI and see if they play ball. Have you seen the car in person or driven it?

 

I've seen it and driven it. Mechanically it's in good shape but both quarters and the rear bumper have been sprayed, and I'd greatly prefer the 18 way seats, SPASM and PSE would be nice. The low mileage is the most attractive thing about it to me. I see a bunch of 991.1 S with higher mileage listed for $70k and up, some with accidents, so wasn't sure what the going market was. Classic website appears to have it around $68k, so supposed I should hold out for something more ideal...
