I was the one with the Black SRT up for auction. At $95k, my reserve was not met, which is fine with me. I intend to take the car, and enjoy it. Thanks to fellow VCA members from this board, I am pretty sure that my '01 RT will be sold this weekend, which will allow me to fund the SRT. As far as my intent for going on E-Bay, it is always interesting to test the waters. Afterall, if someone really wanted to pay $125K to have one of the first cars, let them have it. This would mean that I could keep my RT, and then afford an '04 SRT. I realize this was not the intent of the program, but it was worth a shot. In the end, I think the certificate program worked.
A couple of things about e-bay: Remember just because it was listed does not mean that it sold. Also, the auction about the "Right to buy the car" that sold at $30K - I think this may have been a hoax, or the result of a phony bid or the seller having a friend bid up the auction. It looks like it has been relisted in the last day or so (same phone #). Not to mention that this seller sent me a note stating that they had a car inbound (assume not yet re-sold).
P.S. Remember, if your SRT won't start - stop turning the key, and press that bid red start button.
Happy Motoring.
