That part irritated me to no end when I originally read the article. They make the poor guy (I use that term loosely) go through all that bs and they have the audacity to try to play it off at the end making it seem like they gave him a great offer on it, as if he didn't have to work for it.

Sent the dealer a nice "Question" about the deal using ebay's "Ask the Seller" a question page. ;-)

Maybe we all need to ask the dealer a question.

In my neck of the woods you never hear anything bad about any dealership in press or the news because they make money off the advertising that dealerships generate. It's kinda a rule. Don't bit the hand that feeds you mentality.

I'll sell you my 2.0T base for $16125. There is a $3750 prep fee however. Also, I get a night with your wife.

Boohoo, it's called taking responsibility, and for anyone in a position to make those kind of decisions, it should be known that making false claims/advertisement like that ebay auction can come back to bite you in the a$$.

Wow, you obviously haven't been on the wrong end of a bad deal before, IMHO, he reacted very normally, since like he stated, if he had hit the auction with the car making a profit, pretty sure the seller would've wanted to have is "Legal binding contract" honored.

BS salesman tactics are abound in the car selling industry, this just happens to be one of them.

People need to understand that doing things like putting up an auction for @ 16K car shouldn't be taken lightly, and "Mistakes" rarely happen to legitimate ebay sellers.

This was done by other members also, common practice among enthusiasts, I had ordered my Reflash before having taken possession of the car. So your point is moot.

This really sounds like the shady salesman found it's way to the forums....LOL!!!

does this car still exist? Its probably already sold at this point. The situation is disappointing Im sure, but I think its time to move on. You don't even want the car anymore, didnt you say that? There is so much negativity surrounding the experience, I dont blame you.

Go test drive the EVO and TSX and enjoy.

I would do these following

1. report this to local newspaper.
2. contact Autoblog
3. contact Hyundai
4. contacdt john krafcik
john krafcik - Directory | LinkedIn
5. post this in every automotive forum.
6. let the dealer know that you are writing this to every forum
7. call hyundai in Korea
8. create your own blog about this

bottom line, these scumbags shouldn't sell cars. don't give up the fight.

VIDEO: Hyundai steps up to remedy world's worst parking job — Autoblog

-remember the X5 parking all over elantra 05 GT? hyundai gave him a new elantra wagon.

you really might get something out of this. specially gen coupe isn't really selling well, so who knows hyundai's brilliant marketing steps in and help you out? maybe not a new gen coupe, but hefty rebate? at worst your voice will he heard and help ruining that joke of a dealer.

wolverinejoe80 · 01-15-2010, 07:54 AM

just sent this link to autoblog. hope they make big deal out of this.

The eBay and Paypal guarantees are not worth the electrons used to download and print then out.

So you're saying since everybody's doing it it's ok...Wow nice going

Guess I know why the economy is in such great shape then...

Oh and I'll reiterate...MOO!

It's easy to get the money back if the seller is honest. If they aren't and there are no funds to draw on, Paypal is not going to put out any money of their own. eBay and Paypal are the same company.

Ok, it's obvious that you signed up just to troll this thread. So you either work there and realize that "oh crap, we messed up and he does have a right to this car" or you're just stupid.

I know you won't bother, but if you're really ignorant enough to think that he can't get the vehicle for the ending price, this link is proof that it has happened before and can again.

McFly, fight it. Might not be fun and will probably take some effort, and maybe legal counsel, but I think they deserve it.

Like some have pointed out, If this were to happen to me, you bet your sweet @$$ I'd fight them to the end.

It's like dealing with bullies really, teach them a lesson once and if the numbskulls don't change their ways, then take it to the press. This would be outright sensationalism, but in this day and age it' seems like it's the only thing people respond to, sadly...

Obviously you didn't read the link to the thread I posted. He does have a case. And if he wants to put forth the time and effort, he can get the car for the final price.
