Like it was posted before there was a BMW M3 that went through a similar situation...

In short, guy wins car at a good price, dealer refuses to sell, guy goes public on a bmw forums. The story gets passed around to multiple sites. I think one guy even offered free legal representation for him. He got the car with some minor conditions (simple things to keep the dealer's reputation in tact).

Ebay sucks either way you look at it should the little guy win in this situation? Maybe.
Ebay is known for crazy bids and people backing out of items once they are won by a person.

In this case, the auction went perfectly. Seller had a complete ad, the buyer bid and planned to complete check out. Nothing crazy at all.

The seller couldn't have had a more clear cut auction.

I've sold stuff at No Reserve and got less than I wanted for sure, but that is how it goes and I am going to stick to my word.

Ditto. I want my good word and reputation to count for something. In the end, it's one of the few things we've really got. If I mess up or make a mistake, the other guy shouldn't take it in the shorts.

As was pointed out by CBSmokin, the dealer could turn this into a lot of good publicity if they were smart.

I hope the guy slaps the dealership with a lawsuit. Attorney fees to defend the lawsuit plus the bad publicity will easily be in excess of the $17k loss.
