Won ebay auction at 60K for E90 M3, BMW of Lincoln refusing to honor

[m1stert1m]

Congrats Ken! Hopefully it all works out in the end! Can't wait to see those M3 pics! A toast to the power of the internet!

[AYF82M4]

I would have done that, but the dealership conveniently left out paypal as a payment option. If you look back at the screenshot I posted, you'll see it doesnt show a paypal link.

I have a curiosity question about the deposit. Couldn't you have made the deposit using PayPal through the auction listing on Ebay?

Not that it matters at this point, just a question that came to mind.

I think you ought to make the trip to physically inspect the car before it leaves Husker. I wouldn't trust them on iota!!!

I'm going to hold off on the congratulations till your m3 is in hand, unscathed and immaculate. Given the shit Husker has already tried to pull, I think many of us are quite skeptical on their pending promise to deliver. Best of luck, I really hope you get your car soon!

Also, you asked about local dealerships for delivery....

South Bay BMW FTW!

BWAHAHAHAHAH OMG that picture is dying to be Photoshopped.

[gundamfans]

good news to hear ken. NOW I really wonder why dealership would accuse Ken of not paying, he even showed us his financing capabilities.

Indeed I do agree that you should get it checked out by your local dealership. I'm very unsure of all those spills under the bonnet and what Husker would do to the M3 to "get back" at you.

Unfortunately, I currently reside in Nashville, Tennessee so I have no idea regarding California dealerships, but I know there are a lot of active forum members from SoCAL, so you should try talking to them. If M3post.com doesn't have many responses, go check out E90post.com as well.

Dude ship it to Will@ Long beach BMW, he's been on the forums and I bet he'll help you out to make sure its a legit m3.

I haven't done business with him but he has high ratings

Hmm... I'm not saying that there is SHILL BIDDING going on, but does anyone else see something fishy?

This r***c ( 178 FB) person must love shopping at Husker as they're bid on a BMW M3, 95 Harley, and a Pontiac GTO. I think they bid on a few other things previously as well... And that 5***i ( 76 FB) sure likes bidding on Husker products too...

Dooma,

Glad to hear to hear of the progress with your M3. I saw this story on Autoblog.com and wanted to voice my support for you.

[Illan]

SUPER GOOD point regarding taking away the BMW of Lincoln license plate.

Ive been reading this thread for quite some time... I generally post on the E90 forums...

Dooma, im glad things are starting to look a better. On New years day, i had a dealer deliver the wrong model car. Took a month of hassle to correct it. (At the end, they finally agreed to take the car back and give me the correct car). The dealers were playing innocent twisting the story around during the process so i understand what you are going through.

GL with the M3! If things go as according to planned, maybe ill have a E92 M3 in 3years and start posting here regularly

[Los Angeles]

Dooma!! Get that car, buddy! You're almost there!!

I was thinking the opposite, supplementing the Husker border with something like "This is THE..." Husker BMW

[STL325i]

yes i sux at choppin.. hopefully you guys can do better.





Dooma! For great justice!

-D

[STL325i]

go crazy..

[anubis]

Ken,

Glad to hear this is finally getting resolved the way you wanted. Just know what a special car that is, considering it bought close to (if not more than) a million people around the world together to fight for one cause in such a short time.
I'm very happy for you and wait eagerly to see the pictures of the new car.
Congratulations!
Maybe I'll see you around PV

Without a doubt, Dooma will have no trouble selling this car when he decides to trade up for his next car. Who would not want to own "The Infamous Husker M3"?
