I haven't read all the comments in this thread, so I apologize if my comments may no longer relevant.
OP:
I agree with the others that have posted that this is a matter best left between you, ebay, the dealer, and your attorney. Yes, it appears that you have been wronged, but by bringing other parties into the matter that have no financial or direct interest, you will only afford the dealer an opportunity to argue that you are not interested in reaching a solution. You have, most likely, allowed the dealer to represent themselves as the wronged party, forcing them to defend themselves. When you defend yourself as being the victim, you don't always need to be concerned with factual information.
Again, this matter is between ONLY you and your attorney, the dealer, and ebay. No one else should be involved.
Good luck.

IT's going to be super super hard for the OP to keep his nose clean.
as the details emerge, he's going to want to spill.
we'll also have questions for him, etc.
the more he lets out, especially if he's cross threading, the more he'll be more likely to get confused and slip.
If I were him, I would of got the ball rolling and watched from the sidelines.

entire family full of lawyers & attorneys, and being one that is familiar with the law, this is hard to read cause i just know it's not in the OP's best interests to continue to comment. as justin said, u can start it off (if u even wanna do that), and then sit back and let everyone create a stir about it themselves. stay out of it. i'm just saing this for his own good.

No matter what happens from here I bet the dealer wishes they would have honored that deal. I'm sure that was the most expensive $3900 they have ever saved by not selling it to the OP.

I will put a fight, and argue til i'm blue in the face... I was thrown out of a 10 minute Oil Place (had the cops called on me) and I made a huge scene at a Mavis Tire (both places tried ripping me off/f!@king me over)
In the end, If somebody had my car in their possession, while i started a pissing match.. i would be weary about getting that car back the way it belongs
OP- be sure to bring it to a nissan dealer, pay a fee, and have the largest multi-point inspection done possible

If it was me, I seriously would not want that car after all that's happened. inspection from another nissan dealer or not, they still could miss something the dealer did. But congrats anyway. Hope you enjoy it.

Looks like I owe Vang an apology after previous comments. Though not how I would have gone about it, I owe you a congratulations. Enjoy your new GT-R in good health and like others have mentioned, be sure to get it inspected!

Congrats OP!
It would be completely stupid for the dealer to mess with the car after the shitstorm they created by just not honoring the price. Imagine what would happen if it was discovered that they intentionally tampered with it. Especially if it put the OP's safety at risk. It'll cost them a hell of a lot more than $3900.
