I won't say the dealer "honored" the price. Like in this case he finally caved.

If I remember correctly, the dealer took a HUGE hit on that one. Somewhere between 10 and 20K I think.

I think a lot of times, dealers put younger guys who are "web savvy" in charge of their internet sales who aren't auction and sales savvy.
I remember this happening when the new M3's came out. Dealer wanted like 10K over MSRP, and the guy won it for 10-20K under.

The same thing happened. Internet uproar... BBB... ebay gets pissed.... Dealer finally has to sell the car for that price plus they lose a lot of future business in the process.
