this is pretty darn amazing!!!!!!!!!
Personally if I were the dealership, I would love to be getting calls from all these sources, informing them that after some minor hickups, lincoln bmw is honoring it's mistake and selling Ken the car. The best way out of this situation is to say, yes, we did screw up, and apologize. Exactley per the lawyer's statement. This willl allow the whole situation to end and for them to begin to reclaim thier name. The conditions are laughable as well, why would someone need to have any conditions on winning something they held a contract on? It's genuinly rediculous and I feel for you Ken. |

I feel so bad for some of the sales team and other well-intentioned workers at the dealership. If their sales go down, which they probably will, they will all be affected in the short and long run. I think they still have a chance to make things right even if they weren't wrong to begin with. Just say something like, "we will like to prove to you that we are not who we are portrayed to be, give us one chance and we will blahblahblah... and offer an incredible deal on a 328 or something. Also they can either admit that what they did was wrong or if it is true that ken cannot pay for the car, PROVE it and portray it.

Mr. Maladon comes on the thread (2nd time) and shows the first bit of humility and reason that we've seen from the Hukster auto group. Now according to Ken, this seemed to be the tact they took when the whole crap-pile blew up (when Ken asked us not to contact the dealer, they were working things out, yadda, yadda). Fair enough, but then we read the quote in the local newspaper, we hear from Ken the renegging of the deal and trash talk from Fil, and it seems that these folks just can't keep up appearances. To pile on, Mr. Maladon comes on board the first time and spreads the manure around just like the other jackasses at BMW Lincoln. Now, he's changed his tune. Good for him. As you can see, a lot of folks seemed to have softened up a bit, started take a look at both sides. A little humble pie goes a long way, to be sure. BUT . . . I, for one, won't give those folks at BMW Lincoln/Van Tuyl any kuddos until the car is sold for $60K, but that still doesn't change the fact that they acted like a-holes, as their own words testify (check the local paper's story). And even then, I'll be leary of doing business again with a Van Tuyl dealership. When you're still playing the card game, don't let the sweat-talk blind you to the action going on under the table. (No, not that kind of action...) And if Ken can't buy the car (I'm pretty sure he can), I say we all chip in a few bucks and donate the car to a legitimate charity. |

Both of the legal eagles are.... without a better word... not too bright.
Fil has been argumentative, counterproductive, and just down right unprofessional. So... what do both legal eagles agree to? They agree to have the OP call Fil to arrange the down payment. Sending the lamb into the lions den. SMRT. Michael, for the love of god, please have someone competent at the dealership send Ken a manual PayPal invoice. Capiche? |

I saw this thread from day 2 and it infuriated me. I will definitely go out of my way to avoid Huskar's parent company the next time I need a car. Go Ken! Keep up the good fight! |

Pay a bum $5 per hour to stand on the sidewalk outside of Husker (public property) holding a sandwich board stating "Husker screwed me, please visit www.badhusker.com for details" When they contact you, and they will, ask for 110% of your out of pocket expenses and an apology. OR You can keep on complaining about your sob story and threadjack. |

Let me say I am impressed with your courage to come onto this forum to defend your client. I am sure most of us understand this is your job and we do not have any grudge against you personally. That being said, please keep in mind you are not preaching to the choir. We are all car enthusiasts here. There is a reason we refer to dealerships as "stealerships". Based on all the activity from this thread, your client is certainly portraying itself as the poster child of all the traits we find revolting. While this story does make entertaining reading, it does our free market system a great injustice when sellers do not honor their agreements with buyers. I am sure all of us want to see a fair resolution to this crazy mess. I hope your client will be reasonable and honor the agreement with the buyer. |
