That happens sometimes.
Knowit, I was very skeptical too when it happened, but I was watching the car that they sold for $19,500 on ebay because it had a cedar interior, but I really didn't want a black one. Anyway, I missed it when it sold, but when I checked back and saw that they sold it for such a low price I couldn't believe it either. Well, flash forward 4 weeks later, and I'm sitting in their show room in Paducah Kentucky picking up my ebay purchase, and I ask the guy that's doing all my paper work, "Did you guys really sell that black one for $19,500, or was that just a bogus auction?" He said, "No we really had to sell it for that price, because it didn't sell the first time we listed it on ebay, and we forgot to put a "reserve" on it when we relisted it." We didn't notice until it was to late to pull it. I thought to myself, Wow! if this dealer has that much integrity not to simply tell the ebay auction winner, "Hey we made a mistake and we can't sell you the car." and risk getting a bad feedback. Then they must be a pretty "Honest" dealer. I just wish it wasn't 9 hours away from where I live.
If anybody lives anywhere near their location, I don't know how good their service dept. is, but I was very impressed with their honesty. As I've mentioned many times before, it was the easiest new car buying experience I've had. PARK AVENUE INC...3345 Park Av. ...Paducah Kentucky...42001.

When I got back to Ohio, and I went to the title bureau to put it in my name, they didn't believe I got such a fantastic deal on it and wanted to charge me sales tax on the full MSRP, or "sticker" price. I even had the cancelled certified check that I used to pay for it and they still didn't believe me. It wasn't until the dealer faxed them a copy of my sales order, (clearly stating that I did indeed pay what I was telling them) would they accept my sales tax payment. They originally wanted a $1,000 more, and I certainly wasn't going to pay it.
