San Diego man says used car dealer took him for a ride

The white 2021 Toyota Supra was his dream car. He saved his money, working two jobs for well over a year, and even took out a loan from his credit union. He spent months trying to find one and finally spotted an ad online for a used one for $57,000 at a used car dealership in El Cajon.

That dream was soon dashed.

If a dealership wont let you test drive a vehicle, walk away immediately.

[kalelwilson]

For $57.000 he could have bought a brand new one..

[eckankar]

He learned a valuable lesson while he's young. This will save him from many problems for the rest of his life.

😂 bro literally went car shopping for the first time and did everything wrong
Money spent emotionally leads to mistakes.

[matwx]

I hope Hector wins the case. This is beyond fucked up.

[alabdel]

Feel bad for this dude. Yeah obviously, huge mistake to not do any research....but he's human and can sympathize with the emotion of getting a dream car and having blinders on. Hopefully he finds some justice.

Remember, just because there are no accidents REPORTED on a Carfax report, that does NOT mean that the car has not been in an accident.

This is what happens when you make major purchases with “emotions” on instead of treating it as a purely business transaction

I'd be teary eyed too if I left a dealership with a $700 month car payment.

[Stalkerx]

The huge red flag here was that the dealer didn't let him test drive the car. If a dealer doesn't let me test drive a car there is no way in hell I will be buying the car.

A used car salesman ripped off a girlfriend of mine once. Sold her a car and the power steering was leaking, he basically said too bad it is your car now. A couple of years later I read that someone came into his used car dealership and he was shot and killed. I guess he was still ripping people off up until that happened.

Man that lawyer's suit is definitely SOMETHING!!! LMFAO!

[JakeStewart]

NEVER BUY A CAR OR MARRY SOMEONE WITHOUT TRYING IT OUT FIRST. 😂

[humblebee]

Not being able to test drive was the 1st red flag.

[hummerguy]

Am I'm the only one extremely shocked that this car is going for 57k used? I thought he was about to say he bought it for 20k or so

[vuaeco]

Hey lawyer, I love your suite, mate. Where did you get that from?

[qkdroso]

Sale man : “first time ?”
Hector : “obviously “
Sale man “ you gonn learn today.” 😭

[sunday]

That attorney’s parachute suit is the real crime here

[reng.]

The Zipties holding the plate up front got me, lol...

[PhilJLF]

What is this guy thinking 700/month + insurance is like 900+/month when he only had 6k to put down he should have just got a used civic and saved money instead of drowning in debt … that car is going to put him underwater
