So here's a slimy dealer game !
you get to BID for the RIGHT to buy the car at sticker price !
I think it seems a bit slimy to me...like the auctions for electronics where you bid on the info for a LINK of where to buy it cheap...
Winning bid: US $12,100.00 Winning bidder: stokesmitsubishi ( 0 )
Things that make ya go "Hmm..."
heh.. someone WAY overpayed!
Actually someone didn't in this case...if you check the feedback, the high bidder got the following negative: "Refused to pay after winning....I believe he intentionally sabotaged...BEWARE"
So they actually paid $12,000 over sticker!?!?!?
Doesn't look like it...the seller left a negative response to the buyer saying: Refused to pay after winning....I believe he intentionally sabotaged...BEWARE Reply by stokesmitsubishi (the buyer): Auction intentionally misleading.Tried to resolve with seller.Refused to resolve
....and why am I posting this...the burgers are on the grill.
Please don't tell me that the winner gets to buy the car at $38,000
People have done that for years on eBay. I saw the same thing on a Ford GT. I think it went up to $20k over sticker.

The buyer is Stokes Mitsubishi, an automobile dealership.
Why would a car dealership, which certainly knows all the deceptive advertising tricks, fall victim to a thinly disguised sleazy ad on eBay? Car dealers sell these kinds of "options" on eBay all the time; even if Stokes Mitsubishi never saw it before, it's obvious what's happening if you just read the description. There's no way the buyer didn't know what the seller intended.
The seller's sabotage theory seems to be the most likely explanation.
Jeez... Yep...he absolutely did...I heard he paid in cash....and what a bargain!!
I know... ppl can't READ. Sickening, isn't it? THE DUDE DIDN'T PAY!!

"stokesmitsu" vs "stokesmitsubishi" It's a different ID (former) than the one who didn't buy the Mustang(latter).
Although, stokesmitsu doesn't have a perfect feedback rating either.
Damn...this has degraded. And I'm look>Stokes Mitsubishi sells on Ebay themselves, look on their web sites first >page, LOL...
And the winning bidder has a -1 feedback. Hopefully that dealer will get what he deserves LOL.
My bet is that BOTH dealers got what they deserved. ;)
Am I the only one here that looked at the cancelled and retracted bids list?
