Apparently a dealership offered a challenger on ebay but forgot to set the reserve. Guy wins it but the dealership will not honor the deal. WTF (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bs.gif)

Exactly my point from above... what's advertising cost these days? If you figure invoice minus holdback on the Charger, the Dealer "could" have made this a win win by getting a ton of free good publicity by honoring the deal, and lost likely around 7k on one car. As of now they are getting a bunch of bad publicity, are going to lose customers for life, and in they end, when they resell the car, make a few grand, big whoop. |

You rock HITMAN congrats to both you and the dealer. |
