F'ing car salesmen. I can't stand em. I actually read through the other forum. It looks like this information is rapidly getting spread throughout cyberspace via many different Forums. I think this guy eventually might get some justice.

Rep Power: 333 Yeah it's nice of them to put that at the bottom. But if ebay holds buyers responsible for fullfilling their half of the bargain then sellers should be just as liable, even if they lose money. I know I've lost money on there before.

Rep Power: 0 But after the auction is closed they can not back out of it. This ruling is meant for when the auction is running up until 15 seconds before the auction is over. I believe that after the auction is up the contract has to be held-up and if you don't you are violating a contractual agreement if you do not hold up your end of the bargain, LAWSUIT

I stand corrected:
According to the policy even pulling out once the reserve is met or above is against the rules:
"5.2 Binding Bids. Except for items listed in a category under the Non-binding Bid Policy, if you receive at least one bid at or above your stated minimum price (or in the case of reserve auctions, at or above the reserve price), you are obligated as the seller to complete the transaction with the highest bidder upon the auction's completion, unless there is an exceptional circumstance, such as: (a) the buyer fails to meet the terms of your listing (such as payment method), or (b) you cannot authenticate the buyer's identity. "
Titanium Metallic. You got a problem with that?

Rep Power: 351 Try to get that dealership to move or something. AZ peoples should ban together and try to get something in the paper or something like that and make the dealership broke. Just my opinion and I know it is nearly impossible to do that but I think that the dealership is full of sh*t if they pull that sh*t
this is a classic example of "too good to be true". evos around my area go for no less then 31k. 27k did sound like a tight price.. i still feel bad for that guy, i know how it feels to be excited cuz u thought u won or got something and then find out u didnt

Rep Power: 0 Just an update.
It seems the dealer thinks they can fight it, getting as many complaints about the issue to Mitsubishi of America is probably most helpful.
Copied from the unofficial FAQ
Call 888-MITSU-2004 and 800-MITSU-2004... you can also snail mail them at 6400 Katella Avenue, Cypress, CA 90630 USA... any complaint is in regard to VIN JA3AH86F73U121255. However, they say its an invalid VIN so complain about 4A4MM31S24E010733 (its a white ENDEAVOR XLS 2W) just to file against the dealership.

Rep Power: 312 Funny thing about this is - that dealership could have gotten out of this cheaper by conceding vs hiring all of those high priced lawyers.....oh the irony of this....
