It is a good thing Dooma and his lawyer have rejected the ridiculous obligation to deflect public and media attention. Had he fallen for that, this purchase would have turned really bitter for him.

Spread the word to other dealerships in the Van Tuyl group. See how they like being paired up with Lincoln BMW. My guess is that most, once they find out what's going on, will soon get their "Fil" of the whole mess. Here's my thought: If the PR damage is limited to just Huskerauto, the parent company can live with that. If it can be shown that Van Tuyl has not exercised good governance over its own dealerships, and the stink spreads to taint the rest of this potentially crooked enterprise (speaking from personal experience and perception), good things may happen sooner rather than later. |

yeah it is a good idea to record or document. Remember to tell them outright that you are beginning to record this conversation.

Do you have any clue how much bad press this is going to generate for your auto group? You claim your dealer wants to save face and make good on the transaction, yet his actions speak just the opposite. You need to get your act together before your client's reputation suffers irreparable damage.

oh, and to paraphrase from your similar words "based on gamesmanship being played by husker dealership, it is not increasingly apparent, but OBVIOUSLY EVIDENT that the dealership is still outright decieving the buyer". cover his travel expenses with reasonable economy tickets and quality lodging to enable buyer to consumate contract. oh, and don't try to play that "fax machine was down". fix it if it's "broken". |

Hmmmm
A quick Google on "Michael B. Maledon, Esq" does indeed turn up an attorney in Phoenix (where Dooma said the legal counsel for Husker was coming from.) A couple of references also refer to Maledon as working for Van Enterprises, the Mothership for Husker.
So maybe he's for real. Maybe his post is just a ham-fisted attempt at spin doctoring this whole crazy deal. If definitely smacks of entry-level propaganda, given that it states nothing other than the exact opposite of Dooma's account in almost all aspects. It is, in fact, a rather lawyerly way of calling Dooma a complete liar. Then again, maybe someone did a little more research and came up with Maledon's name and the post is a red herring. Gotta love the 'net. What's real?

Yeah, this will help Huskerauto/Van Tuyl build positive PR. What a maroon! Who's idea was it for the lawyer to post this on an forum? You lawyers out there, what's the game being played by Huskermoron here? Why would a lawyer post such antagonizing crap like this on a BLOG FORUM??? |

If this was truly the case, I would have to believe that the car would be sold by now and it would not have come to this. The fact that dooma has gone ahead and obtained legal counsel himself seems to suggest otherwise.

i cant believe husker is for real with this type of response. Keep on fighting the bastards Ken, these guys are crooks! Finally a shitty BMV dealership some of us had to deal with is getting the proper treatment.
And btw, BMW NA is responsible too. I can't imagine a story like this happening with Lexus dealership, just can't!!!! BMW AG should put a leash on these snots somehow, because bad BMW dealer is not unheard of. Goes so much against what htey stand for. Why can someone like Lexus be always super friendly, and BMW dealership so often have this issue. Something has to happen at high up to change the attitudes and make these crooks sell cheese, not cars.

> This whole thing is getting a little weird.
It's getting a lot weird. It is certainly unexpected to see corporate counsel for a $6B corporation show-up on a public forum like this. Until Ken posted the letter, Mike's name was not common knowledge. A.N.Y.O.N.E. could have created the account "Michael Maledon." At the moment, there is no reasonable way to authenticate that this poster is indeed who he claims to be. VTAIG has an entire separate business for advertising, PR and communications. Typical corporations throw those mouthpieces into these situations; if they show up at all. (Witness BMWNA's absence.) But; VTAIG ain't your typical $6B business. It's privately owned. No stockholders to which they must answer. No outside directors. Some privately held corporations of this size behave in very unexpected manners; at the whim of the principals (the Van Tuyl's and Holcomb). So ... Michael Maledon ... how do we authenticate your participation here? Mr. Moderator: Does the IPaddr logged for the Michael Maledon poster map to a plausible Scottsdale/Phoenix address? |

I still wonder why the University of Nebraska would allow these guys to be the official dealer for Cornhusker football? It really lowers my opinion of the Cornhuskers and makes me wonder if the NCAA approves of its universities liscensing their teams to hucksters!
