Calgary BMW is this desperate?

[Xtrema]

For the first time ever Calgary BMW is participating in (our sister store) Calgary Honda's $5 Pre Owned Vehicle Sales Event this Saturday, December 6th.

There will be over 100 Pre Owned Vehicles available for sale and as promised some will be sold for as little as Five dollars!

Calgary BMW and The BMW Gallery will be bringing a selection of Pre Owned vehicles to this event and will be pleased to provide you with an opportunity to purchase or lease a Pre Owned Vehicle at this one day only special purchase pricing.

We will have a team of BMW Pre-Owned brand and BMW finance specialists on hand at Calgary Honda to assist you through this exciting event.

Please see the attached file for more details on the location and hours.

Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday!

Is that the crowd you want at a BMW dealership?

Calgary BMW and Gallery will join SISTER STORE Calgary Honda on the event to clear out pre-own inventory.

I can see Honda doing it.

But I'm intrigue what's BMW going to sell for $5.

calgary bmw and the gallery is bringing cars down to Calgary Honda for the sale, therefore there will be none of he $5 shopping crowd at any of the bmw dealers.

you wont see any cars for $5 and the ones you do you wont want to buy.

I used to work with a guy many years ago that bought an absolutely mint condition Renault "Le Car" for $5 at one of these sales. Still drives it today probably.

.... but those were the days before these sales really caught on, now thats almost impossible.

but with BMW there it's going to be interesting to see what they have for $5, most likely more pos, it's funny to see how many people are expecting to find a diamond in the ruff at one of these things thou

There is never really a car for sale at that price. I remember deals like this when i worked at a Ford dealership. At least at Ford they were advertising a $100 car. It's just a cheap gimick to get people interested in going to the sale. It does sound like desperation is kicking in to get rid of some of the cars that haven't been selling though.

Often times they get you to "register" for the sale. You fill out the info, they check out your info and see what they can approve you for. (They don't tell you this) While i sales man shows you around, they will later tell you that at the end of the sale, they will draw a name from all the people that have registered for the sale and they will have the option of buying some pos car for $5, or $100 or whatever they are promoting.

That thing must be a collector's item, there weren't too many that made it across the pond.

Calgary Honda already did this a few months ago. The way it works, if I recall, cars sell at 5$ plus gst and admin fees. But they do not sell the car till the end of the day. so If I show up at 9 am and offer $5 on the car if someone offers $10 by 2pm they will sell it for 10 instead of my offer at 5.
Someone correct me if I am wrong...

Old trick of the trade.

think about it guys, in the add they explane that a team of finance guys will be there.

why do you need a team of finance people when the car is $5, who is going to finance 5 bux.

beyond is smarter than this

I think everyone knows it's a scam. But did not expect BMW will attach their name to it.

[derek_k]

they drop the price every hour on all the preowned cars till the end of the day where there is a possible car for 5 bucks. we get cars at honda all the time that we wholesale for 100 to employees. those are usually the cars that are sold for 5 bucks at the end of the day.
