“I corrected Michael, and told him your company may have revenue in the millions, but you make 35K a year”

Dude that wrote this shows his true self! He’s alittle runt, moronic, sissy…. Why throw that in? Actually the Guy probably makes 90,000 a year -I hope the guy who wrote this gets the car and totals it soon thereafter.

Maybe a little poetic justice is what this tool needs. Just another wimp with a mouse who got beat up all through high school.

Call the regional BMW rep in your area.

Your dealership NEEDS to maintain certain CRI #’s or they get screwed over on warrentee reimbursements as well as alot of other things.

Just mention this and you will get your way, guaranteed. IF their CRI scores go to low BMW will start breathing down their neck and it will cost them tens of thousands of dollars every year.

Hmm, this is a little complicated. I guess it depends how much the dealer values their reputation. My advice: BMWNA

definitely, definitely, definitely, file a dispute/claim with ebay. You may not get the car, but you can at least get the dealer thrown off ebay.

The dealer has definitely underestimated the power of internet. The story will be all over the place tomorrow and they will have no choice but to honor the deal. Too bad that they ruined their reputation over such a small thing

Definitely pursue this with ebay as well. Maybe they will at least be banned from posting items in the future. Good luck! Don’t let the man keep you down!!

Even though you have a strong case, there were many times in the past when deals did not go through and unless you will “invest” money in a lawyer, Ebay won’t help you much. Your best bet is to contact BMWNA on Monday, ask to talk to a higher BMW Manager and plead your case. The dealers’ yearly allocations are also based on the ratings that each dealer receives from its customers, so in the end, the BMW Lincoln might give in and sell you the car, in order to avoid any issues with BMWNA.

Good luck
