Challenger SRT 8 Auction Watch The Hitman Cometh Leaveth Questions
Yesterday, we told you about the strange online silence of "Hitman", the purported winner of a $29,100 eBay auction for a 2009 Dodge Challenger SRT-8.
Well, last night at 9:47PM PDT, "Hitman" surfaced on the forum, acknowledging, but not answering any of the questions:
A lot of questions and rumors definitely coming to light after this whole experience from different sources that are making claims. Many requests to post pictures and give an explanation of how it went down in the end.
Plan of posting pics and all that good stuff after I work on getting a couple of coats of wax and the right shine. Its only been a few days of driving it around and trying to do the proper break period as it has been suggested.
Been on the board every night reading everyones posts in this thread and jumping around the ChallengerTalk.com board, learning more about the SRT8 and looking at what the proud owners have done to personalize theirs. This board has a lot to offer and maybe I will learn a few things along the way as well.
The ChallengerTalk forum members who rallied around "Hitman" when it appeared Glenn E. Thomas Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep of Signal Hill, California was going to refuse to give him the car (at first claiming a glitch erased their $42,000+ reserve...which eBay said didnt and couldnt happen) also cheered at "Hitman"s posting early Sunday morning that "the dealership honored the $29.1K auction", along with this photo:
But now, as we reported, a lot of them are beginning to doubt the whole story...whether "Hitman" got the car in the auction....whether he got it for $29,100....whether he got a different car (fueled by a Jonny Lieberman piece on Autoblog which reported that the delership "did better than the right thing, selling Alex a 2010 Challenger SRT8 rather than the 250-mile car he won in the auction"---Jonny got the mileage wrong, it had 500)....whether he got any car, or whether "Hitman" is in fact the person who won that auction (eBay generates anonymous bidder IDs).
And there are questions raised by the eBay bidding record for the auction, which shows the winning bid was $9,000 higher than the leading bid at the time...several hours before the end of the auction.
Does "Hitmans" post last night make ChallengerTalk members happy now? Not a chance. Just one response:
Sorry, I am really on the edge of calling BS here. (And I know I am an outsider, but still...)
You can take the time to post this dribble, but can not take the time to tell us what went down and what exactly you ended up buying? Also, a brand new car does not need to be waxed to shine.
Forget the pics, just tell the story.
Follow along, beginning with "Hitmans" post last night, here.
By the way, we checked...the SRT-8 in the auction is not in the dealerships online inventory as of this morning.
