Yep. Several. That call has already been made. The trouble is, the
car is already gone. They only made about 2500 of the Electron Blue
50th anniversary Z06's so they are kind of hard to find - at least in
that kind of shape and at that price.
Also have the AG sending me a complaint form. Found out today that
they have at least 5 complaints against them since 2002. Probably for
the same stuff.
I found a car closer and will probably proceed with that one. Not
blue, but it's the other color I liked. This one is a year newer and
it's in STL.
Quoting Jim Flanagan <jhflana...@gmail.com>:
Yea
I wonder if a court wouldn't rule that they had a legal contract with you
and that they must perform under that contract.
Know a lawyer who could at least write a letter??

Last Wednesday I called a dealer in beautiful downtown Burbank (for you old
Laugh-in fans), IL. to ask some questions about a Corvette Z06 they had for
sale on ebay. After talking to them I decided to go ahead with the deal.
The sales guy says "we can start it here". I asked if he was sure I
shouldn't have hit "buy it now". "No, we'll take care of that for you".
Thursday, they had approval from my bank. Friday I got their paperwork for
signature and closed the financing on Monday. Tuesday morning I mailed the
check to them. I was supposed to be picking it up today. Supposed to be
are the key words. They called me Wednesday after they already had my money
and told me that they had sold the car out from under me, but they were
trying to fix the problem. Yesterday they called me and told me that they
couldn't fix it and I was screwed. They forgot to close the aution and
someone hit buy it now. They made a feeble effort to offer me a different
car. They blamed it on ebay, but it's just a matter of not having the
HUEVOS to call the other bidder and tell him he can't have the car and
explain the situation. They don't want to hurt their positive feedback
rating on ebay.
They were supposed to have my checks back to me by noon today. So far, it
hasn't happened.
I won't mention company names on the list because that's not a good thing,
but I will gladly tell anyone who wants to know off list and would be
willing to add comments to their facebook page to do a little blackballing.
Needless to say, I'm just a little pi55ed - no, that's an understatement.
By the way, Ebay was absolutely no help in the matter.
