It looks more like "crooked dealer gets beaten at its own deceiving game and then has to come clean faced with honnest people's pressure "
Hopefully they will go bankrupt. Quote:

LOL, I guess if you wanna buy a BMW, you'd better either be an attorney, or have one.....
Scary to think the "simple" act of buying a "car" could get you sued.... Quote:

Wow. Husker is unbelievable.
Yeah.. They spotted the $10K.. First off, it was more like $7K, and second off, it required three lawyers, several hundred thousand views (before it was resolved), almost 100 pages of postings, and the story to spread like wild fire on the internet before they "bent over backwards" and "honored the deal". Goes to show.. The BMW dealer up in Nebraska is one classy operation. If I ever move to Nebraska, I'm buying a BMW out of state. Just when you thought the story ended, it continues. Unbelievable.

That may or may not be true, however one thing that is sure in business is, word of mouth is like advertising that is either in your favor or against you. All this negative publicity will definitely hurt this particular dealership.

if you actually *read* the thread, you should have known that it is not just *this* thread that belittles them. It is all over web and local media now...

Husker BMW has been hurt by this fiasco. BMWs are bought by younger people, who are more adept at using the internet than older people. And younger people like to find out about things by using Google. So I believe that it is more likely that people in the future will search the internet before making big purchases (or financial commitents). And isnt Lincoln Nebraska a university town? If you Google -- Husker Auto Group BMW -- the first thing that comes up is the Autoblog story, with Hucksters deceptive comment about how it honors all contracts. (Interesting that Huckster now admits Doom had a contract with it!) And then all the other bad posts.
Also, Huckster has been getting such crappy P.R. advice that I doubt it will let the story die. It will do something else stupid. Just wait. Doom - a lot of us want to make a contribution to your legal defense fund. Please tell us how we can do it. Those of us who want to will probably give you at least $10 and Im in for $25. Just tell me how to do it. |

You guys are overplaying the "power" of this (and all of the other threads elsewhere) with respect to the dealership. They're in freakin' Nebraska. I'm pretty sure I could count on one hand the number of people in this thread that might actually ever contemplate buying a car from Husker. Of those, a couple actually chimed in that they've dealt with them personally and never had a problem. I would agree whole heartedly that word of mouth advertising is more powerful than any other medium, I just don't think there's a huge affected audience in this particular case. If they were in LA or NYC then it would be another story. But Nebraska?
And no, I'm not defending the dealer. They suck ass in my book. Based on what has been posted here, and their actions elsewhere it would appear they are the epitome of all that is wrong with auto retailers in the US today. They've done little more than propagate the "slimy used car salesman" stereotype. |
