How buying works for Columbus buyers

  1. Pick a car and reserve it

    A $500 refundable deposit holds it for 72 hours. Every listing shows its inspection results and your out-the-door total.

  2. Test drive at home

    We bring the car to your home or office in Columbus, Dublin, Westerville or wherever you are, or you can visit our showroom by appointment.

  3. Sign electronically

    Finance, trade-in and Ohio title paperwork are signed online, and we file the title with the Franklin County clerk of courts title office for you.

  4. Delivered with plates

    We hand over the keys in your driveway with your registration done, and take your trade-in with us.

BMWs and Columbus winters

Most central Ohio buyers choose xDrive, BMW's all-wheel drive, and it is standard on most of the SAVs we sell. Whatever you drive, a set of winter tires makes the biggest difference, and we can quote a wheel and tire package with your car. Salted roads make an underbody check worthwhile on any car more than a few years old, and we do one on every inspection.
