JoeSyko Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Looks like the dealer wants to back out of the deal. http://www.challengertalk.com/forums...s-29-1k-34598/ This could get interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marylander Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 That's not right -- the dealership needs to step up and honor the deal, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooners Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 That's not right -- the dealership needs to step up and honor the deal, in my opinion. The dealership needs to realize it's going to cost them more in bad publicity if they don't just eat the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaleenJOE Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Funny thing is if it was reveresed and he was backing out the dealership would be all upset and try to hold him to it. They just need to honor the deal and give the guy the car. he won the ebay auction fair and square Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeSyko Posted March 16, 2010 Author Share Posted March 16, 2010 Crazy....with the word spreading, that thread has some 500 guests viewing it. That dealership should just stop the bleeding now and do the right thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMADreamer Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I'm not at all surprised they are trying to back out. 9 out of 10 car dealerships are crooks. I hope the guy gets it. That would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_pappy Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Hah, wife caught me reading the Challenger forum, her reaction was pretty funny. (Nothing against Dodges, I think she was just concerned there might be another car coming home) Anyhow, interesting story, keep us posted, hope he gets the car.

Team Adam's Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Seems this happens a couple times a year where a dealership half *** gets into ebay selling without knowing what they're doing and tries to wiggle loose. Lets be honest here... if the guy had bought for what they wanted and changed his mind would they have let him walk? Nope. if the guy had accidentally hit the '0' key one too many times and bid 290,000 for it would they try and hold him to it? Probably. Its a legally binding contract to some extent. If he wants to hire a lawyer and pursue it he can. The problem is after legal fees and all the effort hes probably gonna have to put forth it'll make up the difference in MSRP that he saved.

jpu471 Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 According to the Ebay listing ,on March 11,2010 the dealer made a revision concerning a reserve price, while the auction did not end until the 12th. It would be interesting to know what that revision was and if in fact a reserve was placed. Just wondering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Luke Warmwater Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Bidder tried to take advantage of an obvious mistake. This is what's wrong with America today. Let it go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightMare Silverado Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Bidder tried to take advantage of an obvious mistake. This is what's wrong with America today. Let it go. No the dealer screwed up and he placed a bid on a "sweet deal" whats wrong is that the dealer will now not honor their sale mistake or not.

Guest Luke Warmwater Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 You go to McDonalds and order a $5 meal. You hand the clerk a $10 and she mistakenly hands you back $15, change for a $20. If you're honest you hand it back and explain the mistake. If you're a bottom feeder then you put it in your pocket and her mistake is your win. Sorry, it was clearly a mistake and the bidder knows it. That's the country we live in these days apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightMare Silverado Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Ok so we should all pay 10k dealer mark up because that's right? I don't care if they screwed up or not the car sold and the bidder in in the right. They wouldn't hesitate to screw anybody out of 5-10,000 so I feel no sympathy for them. Infact there is a 2006 300srt at my dealer with 39,000 miles and let's be honest it's worth maby 21-22,000 right. They want 29,000 + tax and Id bet my life savings they would take it and the buyer gets screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whiterp199 Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Did you pocket the mistaken change? Nope, I have even gone back in if I do not look at my change until I get out to the car, or I am in the drive through and have already left. Lets face it we all make mistakes. In this challenger case I hope they can come to a mutual agreement. A great deal for the buyer and the dealer not completely losing their behinds. From a marketing perspective though if I was the dealer I would give the guy the car at a lose because this story has pretty much gone viral and is all over the internet. Most people are going to side with the car buyer, the "little guy", who is seen as being pooped on by a car dealer, the "big guy". I would not want this bad publicity. The dealer and the buyer were supposed to have a meeting today. I have not seen any update to it yet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightMare Silverado Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 I don't pretend to be a saint I've kept wrong change and I've been screwed out of $ myself. I also don't go wandering through the mall asking if sombody dropped the 10$ I just found. Life's not fair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
