Cars International GmbH

With a Stuttgart-Vaihingen, Germany, showroom just 100 yards from Patch Barracks' main gate, Cars International GmbH offers the Stuttgart military community more than 4 decades of combined sales expertise. The dealership keeps a wide range of BMW, Porsche, and MINI models on its lot, with demonstration and stock cars available for significantly less than retail price. Cars International GmbH also offers U.S. military personnel stationed around the world access to a tax-free military car sales program.

Through the BMW Military Sales program, Cars International GmbH offers a number of military-exclusive incentives and services, including compliance with import requirements and a free home shipping package. After military members return from overseas postings, the dealership can ship their cars to U.S. ports in New Jersey, California, Maryland, South Carolina, or Georgia, giving owners the chance to drive their vehicles on familiar streets. Unlike stateside BMW dealers, Cars International GmbH operates as an agent of BMW's Munich, Germany, headquarters. Because the dealership is a BMW agent, its prices are set by the manufacturer at a substantial discount and remain the same for every buyer.

As a free service to its customers, Cars International GmbH maintains a forum through which pre-owned customer vehicles can be purchased by private transaction. The forum provides the company's customers with an excellent opportunity to resell cars that they elect not to ship to the United States when they leave Germany. The dealership also partners with Chartis, a leading worldwide auto insurance provider, to help customers insure their vehicles through a simple online information request form.

When visiting Cars International GmbH's website, prospective customers are encouraged to complete a trade offer request form, after which they will be contacted with accurate information on the trade-in value of their current vehicle. Cars International GmbH is owned and operated by an experienced team with close ties to the U.S. armed forces. Several of its staff members are veterans, military spouses, or the children of service members and have a close understanding of the vehicle needs of soldiers and diplomats.
