NEW 2009 SRT8 Challenger sells for $29.1K

[SkortchGT]

Hi, saw this over on the Mitsubishi 3000GT & Dodge Stealth forums: Dealership "accidently" auctions $45K for $29K on eBay-will buyer get car? - 3000GT/Stealth International Message Center


Hitman,
Good luck, I hope you get the car! It is rightfully yours! Everyone saying you're out of line clearly needs their head checked. You won the auction, it is a legally binding contract. The dealer must sell you the car for the price you bid and won it for.

Thanks, we got the email this morning. I've PM'ed Hitman_. We just need to talk to him before we do up a story on this.

Hitman,
Allow me to introduce myself as "DV". I'm from the Cobra forums where this thread is making the rounds.

Thought I would let you know that the contract with/through EBAY is totally LEGAL and LEGITIMATE, The Dealer has to -by law- obey the regulations!

Example, a Gentlemen by the name of JOE FROST listed a turnkey Cobra on EBAY and like the Dealer, for what ever reason Joe Frost did not put in a minimum. The car sold for thousands if dollars under retail value!

Joe realized his mistake too late, Joe's brother is a Federal Judge and much to his trying to help Joe out he advised Joe to SELL AT THE WINNING BID.

There is no way that the Dealer can back out of this without coming to some type of agreement with you!

Act quick! Your attorney General's Office, EBAY-instantly if you haven't done so. AN Attorney to send EBAY and the Dealer a Letter "Of Intent"!

You will win this...Don't listen to any guff, especially by the Dealer. I can provide you Joe's information if you think it will do you any good. Good Luck, I will be checking in here on occasion to see pictures of you and your new car!
DV.

hope it works for hitman,maybe the dealer will try to come to a comprimise to save face & make hitman happy but i doubt it'll happen.

Registered when I saw this thread over at MustangWorld.com - I also posted it on FourEyedPride.com.

Good luck dude I hope you get it. I've had people back out on me for Capri parts and it's annoying...Reason I hate Ebay!

Good luck again.

663 guests, 27 members, 21,000 views. This is going to get interesting. I still have the issue that the dealer included in their auction "this is a legally binding contract". Ok, so be it.
