I hate to say it Parin but you brought this onto yourself. You should know that the internet is a powerful tool that can just as easily make you famous as it can place you under a bus.
I think the problem is that once you acknowledged the damage history and stated that it "was no longer for sale to the public" you proceeded to put it back on Ebay two days later. Your staff further exacerbated the situation by recently misrepresenting the car. I think you were hoping that the fallout from this deal would be confined to this forum and would simply go away.
You - as the President of the dealership - have the sole responsibility to insure that your staff and your dealership are being forthright in their representations. Blaming your staff for not knowing better is a cop out. You can just as easily have sent out an email to them indicating the status of this car and saved yourself from any further embarassment.
Perhaps this one incident won't affect your business but then again - perhaps you lost a few new potential customers. There is no way to quantify it but hopefully you understand why some people are disappointed. You could have prevented this from going as far as it did.

There's an old saying I like to quote ......a man never loses his integrity....he deliberately throws it away. Integrity isn't lost like a set of misplaced car keys...it's a process that usually involves a deliberate and positive action accompanied by some forethought.
Now...... if one were to use the vernacular of the street it would simply boil down to...... you f***ed up.
