About Us


Our 4 convenient sales locations are open Monday-Friday 9: am-6: pm
And Saturday from 10: am-4: pm
 

Global Motorsports, Inc. is a locally and independently owned and licensed Tennessee automobile dealership. Through hard work and our diligent focus on customer satisfaction since 1991, we have earned a reputation for our specialty in late model, quality pre-owned import vehicles at the mid-South’s lowest prices. Our commitment to best quality vehicles at extremely low no-haggle prices has brought us to the forefront of the national market with customers all across North America thanks to word-of-mouth referrals and the onset of the internet age.


Our focus is on luxury European and world imports which we purchase directly from the manufacturer or their leasing agencies for the most part. We are happy to offer the finest quality vehicles from Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Lexus, Jaguar, Porsche, Audi, Volvo, Maserati, Bentley, Mini, Ferrari, Volkswagen, Land Rover and others. No matter which of our 4 locations you visit, we will strive to exceed your expectations for quality luxury vehicles at price you’ll love.

Here’s a brief history of our company’s growth:
 

  • Our Belle Meade staff:
  • Mark Stengel, Sales Associate
  • Jeb Ballentine, Sales Associate
  • Charlie Jess, Store Manager

Our original store is located at 5210 Harding Road, Nashville, Tennessee. Better known as our Belle Meade location, this was the little boutique business that opened in 1992 and became the flagship for our business model. There’s a certain classic feel to a Global Motorsports store and this building is a big part of that, situated right along the railroad tracks at the gateway to Belle Meade with its historic mansions and rich history. Once a train station, then the first gasoline station in Belle Meade, our building has a warm and relaxed environment adorned with framed art from a world renowned photographer and friend of the company.

We are directly across the street from our good neighbors at the popular Nashville landmark, Phillips Toy Mart. We are proud to fly the flag of the United States of America here at our “Mother Store” as well as flags of our import countries.

Our next location opened in 2009 at 7116 Moore’s Lane, Brentwood, Tennessee. Known as our Cool Springs location, this store was the realization of a vision for the future of the company. Our attempt was an expansion without sacrificing the boutique atmosphere of personal relationship-building in a warm environment, and we think it worked! This store locality, being just a mile or so away from the franchise Mercedes and Lexus dealers and just blocks from Porsche and Audi among others, has further educated the consumer community that you don’t have to spend too much money for a quality pre-owned luxury vehicle.

Our Cool Springs store boasts a hint of the Belle Meade store’s flavor with a combination of motorsports décor, an indoor showroom space appointed with European art works plus the always present sports channel on the big flat-screen.


  • Our Cool Springs Staff:
  • Justin Allender, Sales Associate
  • Rob Lowder, Sales Associate
  • Cush Conner, Store Manager


  • Our Downtown Staff:
  • Jeremy Scates, Sales Associate
  • Matt Ferree, Sales Associate
  •  

In the summer of 2011 we expanded again, this time into the downtown metro market at 1504 Demonbreun Street, Nashville. This store has brought our presence into the lives of Vanderbilt University and hospital employees and students as well as our city’s talent and executives on Music Row to mention just a few of the diverse customer base we serve in our city.

This cool and convenient store blends the cozy feel of Belle Meade with the trendy bustle of the downtown music scene. We are happy to serve our friends in metro Nashville with luxury automobiles at prices far below the industry averages with a focus on dependability, trust and confidence. Global’s downtown store is located just a block from Broadway and I-40 and within a tee-shot’s distance from several franchise auto dealerships. We’re also close to some great food and entertainment too. Come by soon to see our great selection and relax in our comfy environment.

In November of 2012 we expanded into one of our favorite areas of the city, the quaint little community of Berry Hill, at 2222 Franklin Pike, Nashville. This little neighborhood boutique store has a great feel and serves a lovely and diverse community consisting of our friends just a few blocks away at Belmont University with its grad school students and wonderful staff to the affluent neighborhoods of Forest Hills just a couple of miles away. We are also just a few blocks from the BMW franchise dealership to our east, where customers can see and compare our quality Certified Pre-Owned vehicles and buy from us for thousands less.

The thriving shopping area at Green Hills is just to our west and a little farther west is our Global Motorsports Service Center. We are just 2 blocks from the antique and consignment boutiques at Melrose and the shops at Douglas corner. Better known as our Berry Hill location, we are pleased to offer a comfy and relaxed experience for our friends and new customers with leather sofas, a coffee bar, and the ever important big screen TV experience for vehicle buyers who are also sports enthusiasts and don’t want to miss a game or tournament when car buying time arrives.

We try very hard to describe these discrepancies but do not always catch all of them. So PLEASE ask us to do a "walk around" of the car to thoroughly describe anything that might be of more concern to you. Also, remember that you may be spending up to $500 on your vehicle in some cases to have it running and looking in tip top shape in your perspective. Used cars will have some flaws!!!

Vehicle descriptions 

Please keep in mind that we try our best to describe vehicles to the best of our ability. The condition of a vehicle is VERY much in the eye of the beholder. We sell our vehicles wholesale to the general public and keep our cost to a minimum to pass the savings on to you, our customer. Below we will classify our vehicle's conditions and the way we list their description, if you have any questions or concerns please feel free to call us at any time.  

Conditions:  

Excellent: The vehicle is like new and with very minor visible wear. 

Good: The vehicle is free of any major defects and has only small visible blemishes. 

Average: The vehicle has some small mechanical and visible defects but is safe to drive. 

Poor: The vehicle has major mechanical problems and/or major visible defects. 

*PPW*: Previous paint applied to the vehicle as disclosed to us at time of purchase from previous owner or wholesaling institute. 

PLEASE remember these are pre-owned vehicles (AS REFLECTED IN THE ASKING PRICE). Please feel free to contact us with any questions about the condition of any specific area of a vehicle you are interested in. Please note: any third party condition reporting companies may indicate accidents in their systems which are indicated due to a police report filed or wholesaling institution. In this day and age we are all very careful when it comes to accidents, and when they do occur your first step is to call the authorities no matter the severity of the incident. In doing so, this can reflect in the third party reporting system. Also some institutions will check vehicles in with paint meters or other systems that are not always accurate which will sometimes show "Uni-body" or other terms. Most of our vehicles have a uni-body design so even if a quarter surface is scratched and repainted, but not involved in an accident, a paint meter will cause these wholesaling institutions to claim these announcements for their own legal purposes. We do our best to buy great cars and wholesale them to you, the general public, so you can gain in the savings. If you have any questions about any of our vehicles PLEASE contact us and we will be more than happy to help you in your car buying experience!

Are future vehicular hacks inevitable?

Wed, Jul 29 2015

Before the hack of the Uconnect system in a Jeep Cherokee resulted in a 1.4-million vehicle recall, the potential software vulnerabilities in vehicles were already a hot topic with Congressional inquiries and even proposed legislation in the US. As cars' interconnected systems gain the ability to go online, they become open to a host of new threats. Automakers are trying to stop this, but it might be too late to put the genie back into the bottle. Throughout 2015, the issue of software security in vehicles has become increasingly vital. For example, the recent Jeep case wasn't even the biggest hack this year. In February, a major flaw was discovered in the BMW Connected Drive service that allowed researchers to remotely lock and unlock the doors and potentially affected 2.2 million cars. The fix was an over-the-air patch for the problem. Automakers are actively working to fix the issues. Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi reportedly are using encrypted connections and firewalls in their vehicles to prevent hacking. "Absolute, 100-percent safety isn't possible," Daimler spokesperson Benjamin Oberkersch said to Automotive News Europe. "But we develop our systems, tested by internal and external experts, so they're up to date." These vulnerabilities seem to be popping up more often. A successful hack took $14 in parts from Radio Shack in one case. There was also a 60 Minutes report earlier in the year about DARPA's ability to hack into OnStar to take control of a Chevrolet Impala. Experts aren't so sure companies can contend with hackers' advancement. "The difficulty for the carmakers at the moment is the question whether they can keep pace with advances in technology, and especially hacking technology," Rainer Scholz, executive director for telematics consultant EY, said to Automotive News Europe. "We seriously doubt they can." At this point, vehicle hacks are coming more from researchers looking for holes than from those with malicious intent. Still, the vulnerabilities are definitely there. It's up to automakers to keep patching the problems before they become dangerous to drivers.

2013 Nissan GT-R and 2013 Alpina B6 mix it up on track and street

Fri, 24 May 2013


Here we have Autocar making an unforeseen comparison: the Nissan GT-R against the Alpina B6 at Brands Hatch and on public roads. Steve Sutcliffe clobbers the circuit in the 3,828-pound, all-wheel-drive sports car, then sees how well the 4,114-pound, rear-wheel drive grand tourer does against it.
Sutcliffe says there are quite a few similarities between the two cars, but that's really only on the spec sheet. The Nissan's got two turbos attached to its 3.8-liter V6, 542 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque. The Alpina's got two turbos attached to its 4.4-liter V8, 532 hp and 528 lb-ft. But one's brief is to be a monster on the track, the other on the boulevard, and if there's anything the video demonstrates, it's each car's focus.

BMW Smart Charging App helps drivers charge for less

Tue, Jun 10 2014

As electric vehicles proliferate and people try to conserve energy, moves toward smart charging seem only natural. Now, BMW is offering smarter charging, and it should mean more money in the pockets of its customers when they charge at home. BMW owners who drive one of the company's i vehicles will be able to use the BMW Smart Charging App that taps into a national energy rate database (powered by Genability) to allow drivers to automate charging during off-peak hours when electricity usage costs are lower. Charging vehicles at these lower rates could save drivers as much as $400 a year, BMW says. It's a simple idea, but one that could make BMW's EVs even more attractive to potential customers. The BMW Smart Charging App is initially available to customers who have leased a BMW ActiveE from the company's 2012 test fleet, a group whom BMW dubs Electronauts, and many of whom are also early adopters of the BMW i3. The app will then become available to all BMW i3 and i8 customers beginning in 2015. The Smart Charging App is integrated with the BMW i Remote App, which links with the BMW ConnectedDrive interface to also allow drivers to monitor charging times and vehicle status, adjust charging settings and even adjust vehicle temperature so the car is ready before the driver gets in the vehicle. The Smart Charging App is available for iOS and Android devices. Find more information in the press release from BMW below. BMW Launches First App to Automate the Home Charging Process for BMW i Electric Vehicles. 09.06.2014 BMW Smart Charging App Determines Optimal Times for Charging Electric Vehicles Based on Rates and Calculates Cost. Woodcliff Lake, NJ – June 9, 2014... The new BMW Smart Charging App makes it possible for BMW i customers to automatically identify the best rates and times for charging their electric vehicles at home. Developed by the BMW Group and available for Android and iOS devices, the BMW Smart Charging App is integrated with the BMW i Remote App, which allows drivers to get vehicle information via their smartphone. The BMW Smart Charging App has the potential to save customers as much as $400 annually on their electric bills. BMW is the first automotive manufacturer to offer this automated and fully integrated functionality. In its initial phase, the BMW Smart Charging App is currently available to BMW Electronauts.
