On Sat Aug 30 I bid on a 1999 Hyundia Accent on E-bay. Later that day after bidding closed I was notified by e-bay that I Had won the car for $3000.00, I was happy because my top bid was $3500.00. That day I contacted Robert O'Conner to arrange for payment. He told me the car was sold locally for $4000.00. I asked him how they could do that after I won the bid. He said they could do that. Some times they say they can close the bidding early as it is advertised locally, this car was was not advertised this way. On Monday Tuesesday Sept 2 I called and asked for someone in charge of there used cars. I talked to someone and told them what happened. He said he would check into it and get back to me. About a half hour later he called me back and said yes the car was sold locally for $4000.00. He said this does'nt happen often, but it does happen and there is nothing he can do, that he can't bring the car back and will make sure it will not happen again. I think what happened was after the bidding closed and I won the car for $3000.00, someone came along an offered $4000.00 and they sold it to them. I think this is pretty shady business for a major car dealership.
I would'nt have felt so bad but I was bidding on the car for my Grandson, and I told him I had won the car for him. Don't buy from this car dealership if they can pull stuff like this.
