UPDATE: GT-R for $55,100? Dealer Says it Will Honor eBay Auction - WOT on Motor Trend

In the end with all the bad press that the stealership was getting, they decided to just give him the car.

That's what they get for not setting up a reserve price

 

what a bunch of crooks.
I cringe everytime I have to go to the stealership for anything, even a small gasket I dont want to wait 3 days for shipping.
Always ask if I want to trade my car in for the "new" '12 evo since it's "FASTAR" than my "old" '10 Evo. Fail

 

He got the car in the end, so good for him.

 

yeah this has happened a couple times I know of, there was a guy that bought one of those hyundai genesis coupes for below invoice right when they came out and they wouldnt sell it to him. Unfortunately for the buyers theres very little recourse, the most Ebay can do to get on your side is give them a negative for it or at worse cancel their Ebay account. It would be up to the buyer to take the dealership to civil court, probably not even in the same state, and hope the court would find an ebay auction is as legally binding as the big *** contract they make you sign at the dealership

At least this dealership stepped up, the dealership for the hyundai guy finally did too. Guess trying to get the story to go viral on car sites is the only way to get any justice.

 

Dayum, what a steal lol

 

Get all the fuilds changed out asap. I bet the dealership sales team are taking turns to lunch in the car right now.

 

He took a legal action. Got help from Forum members at my350z.

 

i want one of those

 

i would pay 55k for that!

 

good deal

 

I wonder how many times that things been launched by the original owner AND the *** wipes at the dealership.

I would still buy it nonetheless.
