Buy of the Century: Store unintentionally provides BMW for $1

You've probably seen those too-good-to-be real car ads in the paper, where a new car is provided at a extremely low cost. But hardly ever do you see a BMW provided for $1, and even more hardly ever do you see BMWs actually being available at that cost. Thanks to a New Zealand dealership's expensive misprint, though, that's exactly what occurred.

The dealership, Ground Automobiles in Christchurch, regularly provides cars on websites with a one New Zealand money source — about 81 pennies in U.S. forex — enabling the vehicles to offer at any cost the industry requirements. In this situation, however, that $1 determine was joined into the incorrect area, enabling any customer with just one money to be able to immediately find the car. Before the casino dealer could recognize its error, that's exactly what occurred — a customer determined only as "bignz" ended up getting the cope of his or her life: a 1994 BMW 320i.

According to the casino dealer, the $1 sale was most definitely an random error — after all, the car in query was value the comparative of $2,400. Still, they're going to respect the sale, because, according to dealership administrator Scott Nokes, "we are company followers in the public auction procedure and for it to be reasonable to consumers as well."

Before you begin arranging a journey to New Zealand to pick up your own one-dollar car at public auction, know that the casino dealer is going to be much more cautious later on. "[The BMW is] hopefully the only car we offer for $1," says Nokes.
