After meeting all of the financial requirements outlined in the legally binding auction contract and showing up, in person, at the Glenn E. Thomas dealership, the dealership refused to accept final payment to complete the sale of the vehicle. Presumably, the dealership wishes to back out of the sale because the final bid price was an amount they were unsatisfied with despite the availability of tools at their disposal to set minimum bids and reserve prices.
As a result of the recent controversy, which has pulled together automotive enthusiasts from around the world, Glenn E. Thomas Dodge has begun to receive numerous phone calls from outraged consumers, advocacy groups, and the media, all attempting to investigate the issue. Because of the volume of calls and their degree of scrutiny, the dealership has stopped answering all phone calls placed to their sales line.
