resolved to everyone's mutual satisfaction.
Also, please stop any discussions regarding this matter, AND please stop any and all phone, calls, emails, communications, etc with Glenn Hyundai regarding this matter. Do not bother them here forward, in other words. Quote:

Like was suggested in the BMW thread, have you contacted Ebay about this?

Glad to hear it. It's too bad that they can't/won't do much to help you out though. But at the very least having this issue on record at as many places as possible is a good thing.
If you really want to go public with this, you may want to even try approaching a newspaper in Lexington. In addition to the announcement you made to Autoblog, try sending something to Jalopnik as well. Best of luck to you! I hope this gets resolved ASAP.

Btw, I kind of skimmed through the story as I am reading it from my phone. Did you ever call Hyundai Corporate Consumer Affairs?

Wow, it's the BMW forum deja vu.
I wish you the best of luck man. If I could afford to do so, I would absolutely go after them 100% just on principle alone. I would say in addition to everything you've done so far, if you haven't already, see if you can get in contact with the guy on the BMW forum who had the similar issue as you and ask him for any advice he can give you.

Oh, and one other thing. I skimmed over it because I'm at work, but if there are any personal remarks against the dealership posted, I would take them down. I believe that the BMW dealership in the similar case wanted to file a countersuit for slander.

Working in a call center back in the day, 'lawyer' or 'media' automatically is a transfer of that call to the manager of the call center - not sure on consumer affairs. Simply put if they refuse to do anything to help you out, 'before I bring my story to <local news paper> or <local tv station>, I wanted to let you guys know, I am very disappointed in what <said dealership> did, and Hyundai's support of their potential customer, and didn't want you to be surprised if this came across your desks in the near future.' Makes you look like you were doing them a favor, and they didn't want to help you out, then hell will break lose.

I thought it was a few email from an internet sale rep that said "legally binding" in it. I had no clue it was a ebay ad. Take 'em to the cleaners! go get 'em!

I'd contact Hyundai Consumer Affairs, then the BBB. The news and newspaper should be a last resort because once you slander them they will be less likely to make a deal. Also you might want to get a lawyer friend to help you out because if they come at you first and your not prepared they might take you to the cleaners.

Get all over this and keep on it.
They are trying to screw you and you deserve to get the car for the price you won in auction. Without a reserve being placed, they don't have a leg to stand on IMO and I believe the law agrees with me although I'm no lawyer. Contacting the media is an excellent suggestion and probably a lot more effective than saying that your "legal counsel will contact them" lol... basically, crib notes from the BMW thread and do what he done. Luck! |

Keep us updated, look at the ebay motors agreements... Aren't they required to sell you the car after you've won the auction? I'd call up ebay and find out... Good luck and keep us posted

It's not considered slander if it's the truth. That's the only real defense against it. I wonder if there is a department of the local news stations that caters to stories like this. There is a station in Atlanta that has a department that will ask the hard questions. Do some research and let us know.
