The dealership had a legally binding contract to sell to the buyer. Period. End of discussion. It is no different than if it he went to the dealership, they agreed on $60K, both signed the sales order, and then the dealership backed out.
This mistake stuff is BS. They should have had a reserve price. Period. They chose not to. Mistake or not, THEY ENTERED INTO A CONTRACT.
I'm not an attorney, I have no idea what, if any, damages could be had or how a court could compel the dealership to honor the contract. Perhaps one of the many readers/posters is an attorney and can comment?
