Clear case of Breaking a Legally Binding Contract.

i think

is interesting...

(my :twocents:) If the dealer knew of their mistake, why did they do the same thing with a corvette?

whoever is posting on ebay for the dealer is stupid, & does not know what a "no reserve" auction is... :confused:

it was probably the same guy, :really: duh

[ChroniC588]

he should just forget about it and move on...the dealership wont sell it at 60k...in ur dreams. Even if they broke a "legal contract" per Ebay...by tort law breach of contract doesnt cover legal fees, just the cost of the contract (60K)...the dealership knows this so they are not worried. For him to pursue will cost him too much...if he wants to win based on principle than yeah he will win...but it'll cost him probably 90k total to get this car for 60k.:eek9:

Maybe if he can find a buddy whose a lawyer and will work pro bono?

however they should just be careful not to act in a way to cause undue stress or harm...then he can sue for duress and walk home with an M3 of every color. :grin:

but M3 sucks balls...the new 135TT is looking hawt....its a petite JDM chick on super industrial grade aphrodisiacs!:hypo:

let's see what 'conditions' the dealership will bring to the table to close the deal :deal:

they knew what they were asking for when they listed it for no reverse and said LOWEST PRICE ON EBAY!
they did the same thing with a ls460 they sold for 50k! retail is about 70k!!!

Theyre stupid... and apparently the poster is going to get the car at $60K

Sorry its taken so long to post a update. The site is very slow (understandably). This morning, BMW of Lincoln has agreed to sell me the car at a price of 60K, with certain conditions. I'll be going over the conditions with the dealership tommorow, and I hope to have everything finalized by tommorow afternoon.

But one thing that I would like to make everyone aware of is, BMW of Lincoln is proactively working to correct the situation that they screwed up. And yes, they screwed up big time, no doubt about that.They are trying to do right, so please don't harass the dealership right now. No phone calls, threats, emails or fake sales calls.

That said, I would just like to take a step back for a moment.
The past few days have been insane. Just thinking about what has transpired, leaves you speechless really. How did this thing go from a M3post.com rant to what it became today? In 3 days, the site amassed
650+ comments and 200,000 page views, with people posting from all around the world, lending their support and help. Thats people I dont even know! Amazing stuff, and probably the coolest thing I have ever
been part of, leveraging the internet in a way that I have never seen before. People I have never met, making calls on my behalf, contacting automotive sites, supplying information, just doing anything and everything possible to help out.

Lets do it again sometime, I hope to be there for someone when they are in need.

Thanks guys, there are good people in this world after all.
I'll post again tommorow.

Regards

Ken

taegu808 owns a MACHT M3...he's single.

[ikeyballz]
