Beverly Hills Car Club's inventory seems to feature cars at lower prices.

As with some things in life, you get what you pay for.

Sometimes a bargain 993 will cost you more in the long run then a well sorted car - particularly if you aren't a DIY backyard mechanic.

Based on the higher mileage, it seems in line with the current C4S market.

However, searching this organization shows less than stellar experiences from members. But, this seemed to have sold off pcarmarket with good transparency from the seller at the time. However, no clue why the person who won the pcarmarket auction sold it to Beverly Hills (Pennsylvania title, so I assume somebody in PA bought it?). Thought someone here may know more about this car?

125 K miles can cause some deep thoughts

Haha yes it can. However, the engine was rebuilt at 115k miles or so, and there should be documentation on it (at least there was when it was on pcarmarket).


Edit: I’m passing on this car. Thank you to those for your input!

Random side note on BHCC - I was in LA last spring on a family trip and we had an open morning on the schedule...guess where we went!

It was pretty amazing to see first hand.

Seems interesting to go have a look.

I think I've loosely seen comments here over the years about them selling basically low quality cars. Is that the case?

let's say on average they are not known for higher quality cars. they seem to stock reasonably priced cars that need at least some attention. i think that's the opinion most have based on what we see them attempt to sell.

I would agree with this. And they’re not too forthcoming, which made me pass on a vehicle they have. Further, a shop I’ve worked with tried to steer me away from there, without using so many words haha.

I hope whoever bought the car I was looking at doesn’t have too many problems/issues.

It was fascinating...like walking through a modern Porsche, and other brands, low end museum (common cars). So much inventory, it was astounding...and we had the place to ourselves...just walked right in, no one greeted us, and I found the car I had been looking at on their website, opened it up and sat in it.

This is the car I wanted to put eyes on that is still available...

As for "quality" - I think 95% of their inventory is for restoration or major modification projects where you don't care about history, and the other 5% would probably flag pretty hard on a PPI. Looking at enough of their listings, the key phrase is "mechanically sound" - which to me means "you can maybe drive it out of here, but you better have AAA on speed dial to get all the way home."

A 993 example that some might remember...

britzky, your image actually appears more like a 'museum' than a retailer of cars. i know i certainly wouldn't mind sitting on a huge inventory of aircooled 911s.
