I'm sure alot of you have already seen or heard about this on other forums, but for those of you haven't....here's the link.

I haven't read the whole thing. As of yesterday afternoon it was over 45 pages! It's pretty crazy how far this link has spread. Practically every internet forum has posted it up, reaching hundred of thousands of people!!

For those who just want a recap, here's what I have read:
Mark was the winning bidder of a red EVO (w/ extras) on Ebay for $26K. A couple hours after the auction ended he contacted the dealer selling it and they said they had sold it to a broker for a higher amount so he didn't win anything. The problem with this is, the dealer should have cancelled the auction or put a reserve amount if they feared they wouldn't get as much for it. I haven't heard the outcome yet. I'm sure it will take a while to settle. People are calling the dealer (which isn't cool) and also calling Mitsubishi HQ to file a complaint against the dealer (which would be the right thing to do).

I hope he ends up getting the EVO so the dealer learns a lesson.

NASIOC Forums

Just looked at the thread, it is now over 70 pages long. This is insane.

Yea i saw the link on DSMtalk and posted about it. Basicly i think the guy has every right to sue them... He will win if he has everything documented to i belive..

Yeah, I would sue them also. That dealer is going to loose alot of business. There are 72 pages now.

Damn that's not cool, someone is going to find themself in a nice court room and a "world of hurt."

yeah i read the first page and the last i dont feel like reading a fucking novel, 97 pages, ick

liar its at 95 pages right now!!

hope the guy gets the car he wants.
still at 95 pages, holy jebius!!
this isn't our e-thug is it?

DAMN that guy is so screwed! I wouldn't doubt it if he goes out of buisness. (the dealer) I would sue the mofo. Not to mention the car hasn't been sold on carfax and is still listed forsale on their website.

101 pages now

I agree. Even thought I am young I plan on doing this when I find a pay phone and some time.

the number is 1-888-mitsu2004

a 188 # for the dealership is 1-888-445-2190 but I am not sure if it works

A working one is 408-425-5300 as of page 6.... just in case you want to vent.

i saw this http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread...&pagenumber=106
there where the guy said we did it.

this is a quote " Complaint : MarkMitsubishi makes me ashamed to be a Mark-BackedOut of Deal for Phantom Buyer
Response by marks_auto - mgmt will honor high bid .. trying to contact bidder for pmt and shipping"

i was reading and i think so many people responded to mitsu HQ that mitsu pressured them/threatined them.

This was the last post by the EVO Ebay winner. Kind of looks to me like he will be getting the EVO. :D

Mark Mitsubishi faxed a unsigned Vehicle Buyers Order to me yesterday. The VBO specifically lists Stock No. S3451 and VIN# JA3AH86F73U121255 (the ebay car).

The finance manager informed me that he had received ~1400 emails over 1 day (if I understood him correctly).

RE: Speculation on Finances

Mark Mitsubishi offered me the ebay car at the auction price on Monday . I accepted their offer on Tuesday. If I could not have afforded the car and then started a negative post about the seller, I would have to kick my own ass.

Good for him. I work a dealership also (service), and it's great to see the consumer put a sales dept in check.

Think we could start a consumer rally like that about crankwalk? NOT!! :bounce:
