@carchic Where is this so-called "word" coming from? Does your dealer know you are on here?

Once the GM gathered the facts, we told the successful bidder on Monday morning that we would honor his $60,000 bid price.

We have been trying to work cooperatively with Mr. Tanisaka to complete this transaction. Obviously Husker is highly motivated to get the deal done and has no reason to further delay with all of the publicity that this has received. But until the bid price is tendered to the dealership, the deal remains undone. We disagree with Mr. Tanisaka’s version of the facts as to why this delay is taking place, but nevertheless Husker is committed to completing the deal with him as soon as possible. If Mr. Tanisaka cannot or chooses not to complete the transaction, then Husker will indeed keep the vehicle priced at $60,000 for the next willing buyer.

Mike, I find this incredibly interesting and hope you can answer.

Husker was so adamant about NOT selling the car at $60k, incurring the wrath of the internet and many news agencies, but now will sell the car at $60k to any person in the world?

Can you possibly explain to all the people on here why the dealership would be so generous after creating this firestorm about selling the car at $60k? It was after all a "mistake", correct?
Please don't respond with an answer to the effect of "wanting to do the right thing". That myth has been systematically dispelled.
