60 grand and no ****ing 4WD? What a rip off.

I'm sure their LSD is good enough for a RWD //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

he ain't gettin it, not for the price he won it for. Tip to the wise: don't bid on cars on ebay...especially ones that are not out yet. Call the dealer and put a down payment instead. There's about a 5% chance this dealership crumbles and gives him the car for that price...only to save face. I still doubt it though.

it all depends on when the media catches wind of this and how they play it. That would be a way worse repercussion than losing seller status on ebay

exactly..if he makes a big enough stink and their dealership is defamed all over the place...it would be wise to take the "loss" and save their reputation.

quotes from Journal Star article:

"Ryan Mathis, sales manager for Husker Auto Group, acknowledged Monday the dealership had agreed to sell the car to Tanisaka.

We didn’t have the reserve set properly,” Mathis explained. “We had a ‘buy it now’ at $67,800. It was an error by our eBay manager, $67,800 was supposed to be the reserve.”

His dealership’s service record is impeccable, Mathis said, and he doesn’t feel as though publicity from the Web commenters muscled him into anything."
