I spent about a half of an hour with the boys up a Mark Mitsubishi hoping to get a good laugh at their expense. Here is what I learned. The original car posted on Ebay had been sold. THe internet manager had never put a car on ebay before and did not understand the reserve option nor did he use some of the other general disclaimers that most of the dealers who use Ebay use to cover their butts. Said manager is apparently seeking employment elsewhere.
I did see the red Evo they offered to sell MarkD for $26,200, it is brand new, untitled and has a sticker of $30,982. It does not have the vid equip or custom seats but if one young man from Colorado could come up with a deposit let alone the purchase price he could get an awfully good deal on a new Evo.
Apparently MarkD has not been reponding to e-mails and the owner of the dealership has called him. I have to say that I was certainly looking to have a good laugh, but these guys were very nice and felt bad about the situation especially since it was caused by one individual and is not a conspiracy by the dealership itself. So what is it, high school kid from Colorado with no money, or just sour grapes?

Everyone, please ignore the above...blakspecV is teh TROLL...MarkD has already confirmed that he accepted their offer, it IS the car from the auction (with the DVD and leather), and payment/financing is good to go.Congrats to MarkD! Ahh, the sweet smell of VICTORY!!!
