UPDATE from MarkD

Wow - This thread is amazing.

It seems like the entire world hates car dealers, ebay, and Mark Mitsubishi.

My initial post was not a hoax. I believe it to be 100% accurate. I don't think I have anything significant to add about the factual situation now.

For those wanting to know, I was out of town this weekend. I attended the Wurstfest Festival in New Braunsfels, Texas. I got back very late Sunday and have been reading this thread and individuals emails since then.

I think many readers might be interested in the second and final communication from Mark Mitsubishi to me.

"We reserve the right to cancel all existing bids and end the auction early should the item no longer be available for sale."

This is the exact language that appeared on our e-bay listing,

We did have the right to pull the vehicle from the auction, we did receive a bid on that vehicle from an outside source for $32700, you did have the right to match that bid.

But because you've seemed to become so upset over the situation, we would be willing to sell another brand new Evolution we have on the lot right now for $26995 plus all applicable fees.

You have until 8:00 pm tonight, Oct. 31st to committ to this offer. You can call John Williams at 480-425-XXXX or email us back right away.

************

I'm in the Central Time Zone. Mark Mitsubishi is in the Mountain Time Zone. I have been contacted by the dealer exactly twice. The first email and now the email above. I contacted the dealer by phone prior to the auction and after Mark Mitsubishi backed out of the deal. I emailed Mark Mitsubishi several times. There has been no other communications from Mark Mitsubishi.


I need to catch up (pg 78 now) and determine what should happen next.


Thanks to all for the information, suggestions, comments, effort in my behalf, and support -- truly amazing.

Truly.

Fvcking car dealers.

Reminds me why I'll NEVER buy new again.

What a crock. "we received an outside bid and you had the right to match" Sure, if the bid was put on ebay. How the f is this guy suppose to match an outside bid he found out about only after the auction had closed. If they were gonna not let the car go they should have just ended the auction early. Total crap.

"We reserve the right to cancel all existing bids and end the auction early should the item no longer be available for sale."

In other words, they admit culpability for allowing the auction to reach its end date. If they had cancelled the bids and closed the auction, they would be off the hook.

Suck it! I'll see you on Judge Judy!

Good to see they budged, but that still sidesteps the problem, he still has to jump through hoops to get something less than what he WON :|

BS

I was at Wurstfest, fun fun, right there on the Camal river?

Anywho, you came down from Eugene, Oregon just for Wurstfest?

Uhh No, this post is from MarkD.

I'm NOT he.

WOW I made a rhyme.

What amazes me is that they apparently STILL don't realize what a SH!T STORM they stirred up.

And what nerve to offer him a base model (or at least one that doesn't have the extras he was bidding on) for MORE money and STILL try to make OVER their cost on the car.

Don't they KNOW that at this point they are going to HAVE to take a hit on the car one way or another!?!?

He needs to get the local TV media on his side. I'd love to see that guy (dealer) squirm in the camera & lights, hehe!

 

[iwearnosox]

Why does this need a thread of its own? 😕

 

[crumpet19]

A couple days ago I read his thread, got pissed off and sent the dealer an email.
I got a similar response to the one that he got. I'm now going to email them back and continue the harassment.
