EVO sale goes sour on eBay - Dealer refuses to sell car

**Altezza** · 10-31-2003, 12:18 PM

This dealership is screwed after all the negative exposure on the net. And to think I've been to this crappy dealership before too.

Yeah in today's digital lifestyle it doesn't take long for bad word to spread fast

**pinoyhero** · 10-31-2003, 12:36 PM

News on the net can spread like wild fire, unfortunate situation for the dealership.

**Superesc** · 10-31-2003, 01:19 PM

I don't think the dealership thought of the consequence online..

**Super_Geo** · 10-31-2003, 01:26 PM

That's a huge response... wow...

I wonder if the guy will end up getting the car. It'll definately not be worth it for the dealership if news keeps on spreading at this rate.

Though most of the people don't live in the community, and it's the community not buying cars that would have the greatest effect on them. So... who knows.

We should all help spread the words!!!
It;s now on mx-3.com

Thats 5k users

While the number of ppl spreading the story is quite large, I really don't think the dealer will financially suffer much because of this. They'll have a lot of internet ppl around america hating them...but who cares? Unless they actually get some media coverage in that area I don't think it's going to do anything.

It does suck though.

haha It's turned more into a forum advertising medium than a anti-dealership campaign

.

Betcha someone is gonna get fired... but honestly, I think this was a simple dealer mistake where they are ebay retarded (that was their first sale). It's like a pricing mistake... pretty unethical to argue with 'em IMO.

**googe** · 10-31-2003, 03:41 PM

hahahaha

the internet is great

if word gets around enough, this incident could be very beneficial...next time a company thinks of ripping off a customer they may think twice, "er...wait...remember that one mitsubishi dealership...what a mess...yeah ok just give it to the guy...hell give him 2"

I think this was a listings error they had on ebay... and the customer is trying to rip off the dealer for buying a car well under invoice

welp it does not matter who is ripping off who, in the end, dealerships makes the most money, obviously the person who is trying to get the car under invoice should get "the car" simply because we live in a world where the rich is too rich and the poor is too poor, I have no problem seeing something gets done and the bidder will be rewarded for standing up to his believes.

If this gets big enough, the dealership will have no other choice but to settle it right away and quickly too, perhaps offering another evo "stock" for a below invoice price.

but ya, the world isnt fair to begin with, its the oppotunity we see in our life that we have to take advantage. What does the dealership have to loose? a few thousand bucks? but to the bidder "assuming he gets his car" that will make his day, his life and life will never be the same for him. As far as the dealership goes, woppie, just another sale. Welp there is plenty of cars waiting for them to cash in.

you will be surprise in northamerica, its all about the cosumers. Yes one complain, one person dont mean very much, but when everyone else on the internet who read about this story agrees with Mark, then we have a case.

good luck Mark.

Until that dealership does something about this, they are losing a lot of credibility. I don't think it's entirely a question of legal/illegal...more of a fact that some guy got screwed by a salesmna/dealership whether it was a mistake or not. If the guys at the dealership are smart enough, they can easily turn this around in their favour.

if i've learned anything in my business major it's this: bad PR screws you over

it costs a lot to fix a bad reputation.
just look at Enron

uh no, poorness is not an excuse to steal, no matter what lenin says.
