Fact: Usually a new (or in this case, new-ish) <a href=\"http:\/\/autoblog.com\/model\/srt8\">SRT8<\/a> sells for about $41,000. Fact: Winning bid was $29,100. Opinion: Sweet deal, bro! <\/p>\n<p>Of course there&#8217;s the small matter of the people selling it not wanting to let it go for that price. The seller, <a href=\"http:\/\/glennethomas.reachlocal.net\/\">Glenn E Thomas Dodge Chrysler Jeep<\/a> in Signal Hill, CA near Long Beach, has apparently made the same mistake that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/01\/20\/hyundai-dealer-auctions-genesis-coupe-for-16k-doesnt-want-to\/\">Glenn Hyundai of Lexington, KY made with the Genesis Coupe<\/a>. Meaning that somebody at Glenn E Thomas forgot to set a reserve on the auction, and they just sold a car for much less than they&#8217;d planned.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a 20+ page &#8220;discussion,&#8221; raging over at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.challengertalk.com\/forums\/f5\/new-2009-srt8-challenger-sells-29-1k-34598\/\">Challengertalk.com<\/a>. Opinions are slightly mixed, but it seems that the overriding sentiment is that the buyer (named Hitman) won the auction fair and square and that once again, a novice dealer has wandered into the minefield that is selling a new car for less than they intended via eBay. <a href=\"http:\/\/jalopnik.com\/5458503\/genesis-coupe-ebay-deal-settled-man-buys-hyundai\">Last we heard<\/a>, Hyundai of America stepped in and helped settle the Genesis Coupe debacle. Good luck to Hitman, that (possibly) lucky SOB.<\/p>\n<p>[Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.challengertalk.com\/forums\/f5\/new-2009-srt8-challenger-sells-29-1k-34598\/\">Challengertalk<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/03\/16\/yet-again-dealer-accused-of-failing-to-honor-ebay-deal-for-new\/\">Yet Again: Dealer accused of failing to honor eBay deal for new car and this time it&#8217;s a Dodge Challenger<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Tue, 16 Mar 2010 15:01:00 EST.
