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.
A local used car dealer that sells nicer high end cars wouldn’t let me test drive a car until I sat down and negotiated a purchase price BEFORE I drove it. I pulled up in a BMW and was looking at a $55k used car. I couldn’t believe that is their policy. I said why do I want to negotiate a price on a car I’m not even sure I would want to buy unless I enjoyed the driving experience. The owner even called me after I left a negative review. Places are nuts
@@DeanBKK If you are actually serious and they do a little financial snooping they would let you test drive...if after that they didn't let you, they are just crooks
@DeanBKK I literally did that when I bought my zl1. I told him what I wanted to buy and test drive. I got to test drive 3 other zl1s before I ended up buying mine. So yes they do let you test drive sports cars.
@@aldovillarreal9572 a ZL1 is not an Italian exotic.
@@DeanBKKyea but a zl1 is valued more over a used new supra. Your comparison is nil. Initially comparing a Ferrari to the used supra.
For $57.000 he could have bought a brand new one..
Damn near lol
For less he if really wanted to the 3.0 starts at 52k
Markupsssss
Bros an idiot 😂
He thought it was fair because it has some mods + tune. But still, for that price I rather have it new
😂 bro literally went car shopping for the first time and did everything wrong
Money spent emotionally leads to mistakes.
Glad he didn't buy all in cash!
@@y.r.9401 true, but his down payment he worked so hard for is gone. Plus, the car payment and insurance I'm sure is probably 1k+ a month together.
I'm wishing him the best 🙏🏼
Got his betch azz

"Currently, only seven states have used car lemon laws: Connecticut, California, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, and New York. Sadly, even in the states in which they are active, the application of these laws is very limiting and rarely helps."
I feel bad for the guy.
@drewdude2345 he's a DACA student collecting monetary assistance for student loans. In order to qualify for DACA, someone in his household must be receiving foodstamps or other government assistance. His parents own a welding shop, and instead of paying off his student loans, he used his money to buy a modded used and abused car because he thought he could have a 1000HP supra but when it wouldnt pass emission and the up keep with all the mods got too real for Hector and played the victim card to get his money back. This immagrant could have bought a budget car, something new and reliable, but no he wanted a 57k used car. So many broke college student eating cup a noodles but this guy living the life off his government assistance
He learned a valuable lesson while he's young. This will save him from many problems for the rest of his life.
He didn't learn the lesson that it's dumb to borrow $50K to buy a car at age 22.
Should have known better, thats a Transgender Supra, a BMW dressed as Supra.
I hope Hector wins the case. This is beyond fucked up.
I dunno. What customer buys a car WITHOUT test driving it themselves?? 🤦🏼♂️
It’s a modded car, it probably has around 600whp horspower, that check engine line if from lower downpipes without an o2 sensor. Literally does nothing for the performance of the car. That’s the most fun that guy is going to have.
it's the customer as well i can see he was guillable when he said we connected on a emotionalll level 😅
Dude should sue if he needs to, especially for the check engine light and if dealership knew it was in an accident.
everything is effed up when you hear only one side of the story-and the story is spun by an attorney. also, he has to be one of the most foolish buyers out there. i could see dropping $5k in a rush for basic transportation . but this “student dreamer” bought a used $57k sports car, in what sounds like the blink of an eye.
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.
Nineteen. He learned all about it the hard way. No his uncle and father need to teach him about marriage and being a father.
I don't feel bad. I'm 25 and see idiots all day waste all the money they worked for and complain they are broke... On depreciating assets!
@@BorisBidjanSaberi11at 25 (about 5 years ago)I had a supercar and would steal guys like yours girlfriends. And still had more money in the bank than you. Enjoy being so angry at someone who’s got more cash than you!
CARFAX report showed it was accident free not his fault
Not really. Dumb people like him deserve it. Only way they will learn. Pure stupidity.
This is what happens when you make major purchases with “emotions” on instead of treating it as a purely business transaction
Exactly
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.
Yes carfax only reports what is reported to them
True, I know a lot of auto body mechanics that could and would fix their own cars and not report it if it was in an accident
how else do you find out if it was in an accident?
@@alexdavila1356 Scotty Kilmer has a video about that. I will see if I can find a link.
@@alexdavila1356 that's why its important to do your research
I'd be teary eyed too if I left a dealership with a $700 month car payment.
He played himself and is surprised the dealer played him further. 22 and a 57,000 dollar car his gross income better be 10k a month but doubt a restaurant employee who needs a second job is making that… 8% of your gross income should be spent on a car
I agree. His Dumbass will learn it the hard way. Nothing wrong buying luxurious items but there's right time for it. At 21, $60K car loan is A DUMB MOVE
700 is nothing 😂.
@@warmbeergamingdude it depends on your monthly income. Also most people making that much don’t spend their time bragging about a high middle class income on TH-cam comments but go off buddy we are all so proud 😅
@@DripDrown If the kid is willing to save up and work for his car then let him have it. No need to gatekeep a Supra. For all we know the Supra gets him interested in cars spurring him to become a mechanic.

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.
Nice story. I like that. These guys think that there is no consequence for taking advanyage of folks until a crazy guy with a gun shows up. Yup. Nice storry :D
@FBI this is probably the guy
@@newworldconcepts583 Report the Car Dealer to the State Licensing Bureau for Automotive Dealers. File a detailed report demanding that the Car Dealers license be revoked and toss in a State fine.
Got what he deserved. Ripping off people who need cars is something that physically repulses me. It's as bad as "selling" a job to someone who is desperate for work.
I call bs on that story.
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
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.
Because the car was modified and I'm sure it had a shit ton of problems that would have been discovered upon driving it. I wouldn't be surprised if the tune was also incorrect for the build lol
Most dealers won’t let you test drive fast cars. Try to hop in a new hellcat NOPE not happenin.
In reality, though the car is a clear track duty car. Like others I do the same, buy a new track car, beat the shit outta it and sell before warranty is up to get the dolla dolla bills, I don’t care about the next guy lol ain’t my problem your buyin my hot turd. A year ago I traded a Porsche with damaged carbon ceramic brakes to a ford dealer for a limited f450, actually made money on the trade lol
@thelactationstation2379 it's a 60k car? I'd understand if it was a 100k one....
I'd too will walk if they won't let me test drive the car clearly they know im going to buy
@thelactationstation2379 Don't matter. If they won't let me test drive the car, the deal ain't happening. Or the 2nd option. If they don't let my mechanic check the car out before I buy it, the deal ain't happening.
You can't test drive a car without buying it
Not being able to test drive was the 1st red flag.
Buying it without an inspection was another. I've bought a few cars w/o getting inspections and I regretted it, even though they were pretty cheap @ $1700 and $3700.
Nah, shady dealership was the first red flag
Na, the first red flag was paying 57k for a used supra when you can order one brand new from Toyota for the same price
@@ttis3701 lol
People abuse sports cars during test drives, it's wise to deny solo test drives.
Man that lawyer's suit is definitely SOMETHING!!! LMFAO!
When I first expressed interest in my Supra, the agent handed me the key without even taking any of my info. Drove it on the freeway, in the streets, and did some hard braking and accelerations. Took it back to the dealership, and that is when we started talking. Nowadays, we should be hella skeptical about everything, especially a dealer who doesn't want you to take it for a spin.
Ever heard of a break in period? Im glad you purchased the one you test drove so no one has to deal with the O-Rings later in life
That attorney’s parachute suit is the real crime here
😄
Appearance-wise he looks like a Saul Goodman, straight from the 90s, early 2000s kinda lawyer and charging an arm and a leg

1994 throwback.
Sale man : “first time ?”
Hector : “obviously “
Sale man “ you gonn learn today.” 😭
I feel so bad for Hector. 🙁 Saving and working hard for so long and this happens. I have been looking at cars and now I'm really scared.
Take a lesson from him. Purchase a vehicle new or if you’re unable to purchase outright, continue to save to do so or put a large potion on down payment down and have the security of knowing that you’re owner number 1 and anything that malfunctioned that it’ll be under warranty.
Always take it to a mechanic of your choosing before and look at their ob2 for codes (buy an ob2 reader) … make sure it shifts good, look under the radiator/oil cap to see if there is sludge; steer the steering wheel all the way to the right and left and hold it for a few seconds to see if it makes a whine noise; listen to the engine to see if it sounds weird or not… look at the exhaust smoke, if it’s super white or blue and billowing out … if anything is wrong or they don’t let you take it to a mechanic you immediately WALK, no haggling, WALK, on to the next car…. Also, make sure it has a clean car fax and that the odometer miles on the car match with the cars interior/exterior “beauty”… be safe. This is the best advice on buying a new car you’ll probably get.
i don't feel bad for him at all.
he works at a restaurant and he bought a car he clearly couldn't even afford at the first place.
he isn't american
he is clearly low iq
Hector works at a restaurant barely making more than minimum wage but he signs up for a $64k loan. Why?
Just go to a dealer and be prepared with at least a 2,000 down payment
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
This is the type of guy literally living paycheck to paycheck. Just cause you can, doesn't mean you should. I know some people that make well over six-figures and even they can't justify financially getting a Supra right now
How you know how much he's making? Don't judge a book by it's cover
@@jennerboyka3744if you’re paying 700 a month for a Supra and not buying it outright in cash then you shouldn’t be buying it.
@@JJmccarthy69i get it but you see lots of middle class and up have monthly car payments $700+ it's actually an average monthly payment right now. And lots of them have emergency fund roth ira and index fund squared away, even with $6K downpayment and good credit in today's market you’ll still get high interest rate especially on Supra. So don't judge book by its cover. In addition, even rich people don't pay cash for a car right away, why, because it's depreciating asset. When you pay cash for supra for example you drive of the lot, you already lost 10-15% of that money so it's not worth paying cash unless you're doing 20% downpayment
I make like 400k and that's about what I spent on my car lol
And thats why i only buy new cars
Let me tell you, I worked at a dealership for a while, and the salesmen LOOOOOOVE Latino immigrants because they believe they can get over on them pretty easily. Don't be a mark, assume that any car salesman is a crook, because 99% of them actually are. You think they're bad, no, they're actually WORSE than you think. Do not trust those people.
That’s exactly what happened here. This dude is a total idiot!! An 800 dollar a month car note after a six thousand dollar down payment. He counts text drive it and the check engine light is on. That’s so much money wasted in a car. He could of bought a car with the down payment and saved the rest for a house, education, or emergency. You can tell he’s terrible with money.
Dang man.. ima take advantage of them man . Maybe spike they tires idgaf.
@@dbdnrbdb probably, not the best way to approach this problem. I think the big takeaway from this story is to not make the same mistakes. Spend more time looking and researching before you buy. The man in the story doesn’t seem very intelligent or savvy with money. However, he was gracious enough to let us learn from his mistake. He made a bad decision with that deal and got smoked on it.
The Latino men have big hearts and they shouldn't be taking advantage of them.
99% of people don't get scammed but retards are targets
The Zipties holding the plate up front got me, lol...
My father and I have been in the car business for 30 years, when you go look at a car, crank it up an let it run for 15 mins, if you see any leaks, or hear any sounds from the engine bay, ask the dealer to hold it for you untill you can make a appointment for a shop to go through it. Also don't forget the carfax, or run the vin if a carfax isn't possible.
this totally this. Also if you're going to do a payment plan, set it up so that you aren't paying something egregious like $700 a month. This kid didn't seem to have much of a grasp on how to be fiscally responsible. You think he had like 60k to his name when he bought the Supra, or more?
That lawyer should sue his tailor first.
😂

I thought he was wearing his older brother's suit at first. 🤣😆🤣
Pure comedy, mate!
Oh man this comment 😂😂😂😂😂
I just checked and the brand new top version of the Supra is about 60 thousand. He knew he was buying a modified Supra and is just playing dumb now because of buyers remorse. Probably found out it's going to cost him a few thousand to get his car to pass the states emissions and safety test.
Exactly lmao

Why not tell us what dealership did this?
Probably is sue right now.

Did he say he paid $57,000 for a used car that sells for $55,000 new?
looks like there were aftermarket parts installed. some shady dealerships will try and justify a higher price tag due to the presence of said aftermarket parts, when in reality they should detract from the car's value.
@@kelly00000111111exactly, an ACTUAL dealership wouldn’t even accept the car with highly moddified parts or they'll even lower the value with the mods on
Look at supras they’re super hard to find and most used prices are above new. It’s the same for a number of cars right now to include the Supra, C8 corvette, Audi RS models, and quite a few others. It’s cheaper to buy new but you’ll also be on a waitlist for 12+ months.

When the lawyers suit looks baggy like that you are losing that case 😂😂😂
Bro. His lawyer is wearing a suit and pants like 3 sizes too big for him 🤣
Car guy here....The issues sound very much fixable but they shouldnt have sold him the car in that condition. Especially at that price tag. My guess with that check engine light and "altered emissions" is a catalytic convertor delete and an ECU tune thats different from stock.
sounds about right
Yup, probably had a couple of previous owners who were "tuners'" who made alterations so they could participate in street racing and street closure shenanigans.
Right, there's sensor that read catalytic converter temperature. I believe you can remove that with bimmercode? Other than, it's better improve performance and sound lol
This is so dumb. I owned this car and can tell it was tuned, has catless headers and after market exaust lmfao. Dude needs to do his research on a platform before handing his money over. Doesn’t really sound like it was a dream and he is more of a fanboy.
The check engine light is because of the catless downpipe and it is throwing a code that is safe to ignore.
THE CAR IS FINE.
Yep, I have a 23 Supra with a catless downpipe and it also has a CEL. Someone should reach out to this guy and have him do a code scan through his OBD port - if it's something like P0420 then the only thing he needs to worry about is passing emissions since it looks like he's in CA. At 1:55 I spotted an AMS engine cover, Blitz strut bar, carbon radiator plate, dress up bolts, and custom caps so it's likely the previous owner swapped out the downpipe since it's one of the first bolt ons you can do for immediate power.
The lawyer accidentally put on his dad's suit.
😂😂😂😂
I mean it was common back in the day to dress a lot more “baggy” for a more conservative look. Maybe he just likes to dress that way?
😂😂😂😂😂
@SK-tr1wo Nope, pretty sure that was his dad's suit. If you zoom in you can even see an old dry cleaning recipe from 1998 on the collar.
His dream was to get a Toyota? That was his first mistake...
Some advise to all the young people and first time buyers. Don't go alone to used car dealerships. Research and take someone that has purchased a car before at a dealership. Even the big dealerships try to sell you the cars no one wants and or they'll over charge the buyers. Take a veteran and don't sign until you get a good deal.
Call every dealer that might have the one you want and ask for an Out the Door Price. If they say, come on down we will work out a deal call another dealer. They have so many useless fees to tack on it is borderline criminal.
Some other advice only spend 8% of your gross income on a car… 57,000 at 22 lol working two jobs mans is gonna need another job
I managed to buy my 2010 Mazdaspeed 3 brand new for way below the msrp. I did drop down 6K as a down payment, brought the car down to 20K then talked them down to around 17k. During the test drive I was asking the salesman questions about the performance of the car. He was surprised when I stumped him on pretty much everything about the MS3 😂😂. Yup, did my research and it paid off.

@@Travis73917 It depends on the trade in. Like his trade in would have to be worth less than $4000 + 6k in cash and assuming he has bad credit so like 7% APR to have to pay 700 a month.

That attorney’s suit tells me he doesn’t have much of a chance to win lol
Was going to spend $57,000 on a car that he didn’t test drive . He got played . This happens every day at all of those ratty little used car dealerships. Also never buy a used sports car if it is modified. It means that the last owner possibly abused it .
I went in to by a G35 when they first came out. Had the color and style I wanted. Salesperson grabbed keys to a lease return that just came in when I did. Vehicle had flat tire, was super dirty, and something was wrong with the clutch. Oh yeah and we had to take it to go get gas because it was way passed E!
He said you ready to buy. I said hold up, I said I want to buy a G35 but not that G35! He said you just gonna come into my dealership and joy ride in my $50k car. I said man the g35 start at $35k brand new (back then price). So he start talking 💩. I told him I have choice and will do my business elsewhere.

Don’t let this distract you from the fact that Hector is going to be running three Honda civics with spoon engines, and on top of that, he just went into Harry’s and bought three t66 turbos with nos, and a motec exhaust system.
Just got back from a used car dealer and noticed they took the check engine light out and swapped the cluster for one with less miles
The way his lawyers suit fits my boy Hector is getting nothing back 😢🤣
I don't know what's worse, seeing a Supra in poor condition (visually) being bought for 57K or the fact that his lawyer looks like he borrowed a suit from his dad.
I was so confused when I saw your comment about the suit. Until I watched towards the end… 😂😂 never seen such a baggy suit. My guy was scammed by the dealership and now his attorney. What the fuck haha. That suit is for sure borrowed or rented.
My guess is he buys suits off the rack without any sales advice telling him he buys a suit 2 sizes too large.
It has AutoZone lug nuts just at a glance, seems like he's more worried about his image with those earrings rather than the meat and bones of how a car is. "Emotions" 😂
Probably why he had the camera angle from his right side so you couldn't readily see that ridiculous dangling crucifix earring on his left ear. LOL! 🤣😂

Stories like these remind us of the importance of conducting thorough research and due diligence when buying used cars. It's essential for dealers to prioritize transparency and customer satisfaction. Thank you, CBS 8 San Diego, for bringing attention to this matter.
One doesn't need to do "thorough research" to know to walk away from any deal when the dealer won't let you test drive a car you are contemplating buying...

I’m a car guy, and from the looks of it, the engine bay has some mods. The “emissions issue” that they are talking about is probably just a simple cat delete, and aftermarket exhaust system, which causes a benign check engine light. Doesn’t do any harm drivability or car health wise, it’s just a bit modified is all.
Agreed. I have a Supra and I can guarantee it's 100% because of a catless downpipe. Nothing is wrong with the engine, it's just the car saying it's detecting off nominal reading on the downpipe's O2 sensor, since it has no Cat. I've been running catless for over 10,000 miles with a CEL and the car has 0 problems.

@@arsenyrazhkov4559 When I was looking for my first car I was taking a car out for a test drive, it didn't feel quite right.

I don't remember exactly what the codes where but I remember most of them being for sensors not responding.

Don't be afraid to be rude to slash prices as much as you want in dealerships, if you can't get the price you want, walk away, you got nothing to lose and everything to gain as a customer.
For a used
dont recommend lol
Bro could’ve had a new or certified used one for that price
I told a dealer I will put the car on the lift bridge before buying and giving it a good clean up. I wasn't allowed to do that, so I waved them goodbye.
After the 3rd dealership for the same brand car I was still honest and said that I will do it and he accepted and gave me a list with the things that needed to be changed within a year, after checking it, it was indeed only the things that were on that list and got it changed myself after buying it. It always feels like you are buying new when you have checked every bit of the car yourself.
Just saying to a dealer that you will put it on a lift bridge and let a engineer looking at it before buying will see how fair a dealer really is if they allow it. If they don't allow that, don't buy the car, there is something wrong with it.
Bro it probably has no catalytic converter, you just have to get it tuned and the engine light would go away 😂
I'm retired from a 30 year career in the car business. I worked for three quality dealers, and the rule was always that the customer had to drive the car first before signing paperwork - it didn't matter if the car was an exotic or a classic or a cash car. I did meet customers with previous bad car buying stories, and I always wondered why they went ahead and bought cars from people who were not treating them right. The problem with sellers like this is they often obfuscate their business behind shells and hard to trace ownership - they know they will likely get sued at some time. Best wishes Hector, I hope your attorney can get the dealer to unwind the transaction - I wish that California was more strict in their dealer licensing. The people who did this to Hector probably have a history of such deals, but somehow manage to keep their dealer license.
My friend was a used car dealer. He sold the same car 3 times and his boss used to snort coke in front of customers!
@@jhowardsupporter How did that work - did the three owners do a time share on the car? Your friend chose to continue working for a coke snorting manager of a used car dealer.

I thought this video was going to be about the Supra actually being a BMW Z4 😂
Hector likely got roasted in a FB group for paying $57k for a used Supra. He then got a case of Buyer's Remorse and wants to return it.
When a used car sales dude prohibits a prospective customer from test-driving the car, that should've immediately raised red flags and sounded alarm bells. It's abundantly clear that he didn't want to risk the "Check Engine" light coming on during the test-drive (with Hector driving) and risk losing the sale. Nothing says "grease ball used car salesman" louder than this scenario!
He's a DACA student. He's not even a citizen. Is he legal to drive? Would the dealer's insurance cover them in an accident?
Oh wait, California gives licenses to anyone that breaks in.
The shady used dealership seller was doing that ECU trick, cleared all the codes, maybe pulled a pin out and whatever else, where u can’t drive over like 40 mph, and other things or else it’ll trigger the CEL
I went with my friend last year to see a Subaru Wagon for sale. My friend was eager to buy such a car. Subarus are slightly different for me. So we go and first thing the older gentleman said was “mind if I drive” We said sure. So he took us for a ride and said he has a shop and is a mechanic. Then we get back to the house I drop on the floor and look under the car. I wasn’t even buying the car my friend was. But I said “no we don’t want it thank you” when we got back to the car I told my friend about the huge oil mess under the car. The car had been altered.
@@tristanwwsd yikes I guess tourists can’t drive either without CiTiZeNsHiP based on your rhetoric.
@@tristanwwsdyes let's make this about his immigration status and not about people being careful when shopping for used cars. What an absolute fuckwad you are 🤡
This kind of used cars dealership is one piece of human garbage and I hope this gentleman will win his case!
Bro didn’t even notice the wrong lug nuts…
Biggest bruh moment
Don't worry Hector.
Some day you're gonna get rid of the Supra and be running 3 Honda Civics with Spoon engines and on top of that you're gonna go into Harry's and order yourself three T66 ball bearing turbos with NOS and to end it all off a Motec exhaust system...
Ain’t that the truth 🫡 I scrolled way too far for this comment.
Did yall see that blue haze of smoke when he took off at the end?
His troubles aren't over.
Why does his lawyer look like Tom Hanks at the end of "Big" when he shrinks down to being a child with the large adult clothes tho? ;)
NEVER buy modded cars, because you don’t know what’s been done to it.
I know
Fr always buy stock
Same rule applies to dating women.
It was literally just downpipe and tune on this, it was definitely dogged in but probably also nun crazy 😭
After he signed the papers and went to the car…he then noticed a check engine light on????…if he didn’t drive off…I would’ve went back in there and said the deal is off!!!!…but then again. I wouldn’t have paid 57k for a used Supra😂
depending on when he bought it, it’s a decent deal for a launch edition.
@@armandocardona6975a decent deal??? Bruh go to this same dealer, they're looking for dummies like you
Not just a test drive, never ever ever buy a used car from anyone unless you can get it thoroughly checked out by a competent mechanic.
I cringed at how long she held the key after starting it...
You can cancel the sale before you leave the car lot. Once you drive off the lot you lose that option. In California you add a $500 to your contract that allows you a few days to bring the car back for any reason and cancel the sale. Buyer made a lot mistakes.
700 dollar a month care note? At least he has his priorities straight
700 month is a lot money for used car ?
A DACA recipient , spending this much ? Whoaaa that's really great priorities.
@@erwinsm10 true but put a lot of money is crazy 😵💫
@@erwinsm10 Guess his "immigrant parents" didn't teach him how to save money and focus on getting a better job before enslaving himself for a luxury item he can't afford. And DACA....why we the taxpayers are paying for his school so he can throw the money away like this?
@@erwinsm10what else is he supposed to do? He works hard for it. His money, his rights.
Never buy modified cars at dealers
what i do is type the vin number on google and usually it pops up if it were sold in an auction or not and the condition it was in.
Rooting for you Hector. Don’t let this crush you. Appreciate you telling your story.
poor fitting front bumper and fender gaps and aftermarket parts under the hood. Instant red flags. Even if you can't drive a car, have it run and inspect under the hood, the gauges, etc. Always ask to have it inspected first too if you dont have the knowledge. Most local shop will go over a car for not too much money. This kid could have saved himself some hassle by doing his homeowrk and not being blinded by beauty. Car forums are another good resource as you can share photos of a car for sale, get background info help with the vin# and tips on what to look for. Hope he gets some resolve, shady dealers are scum.
This is far messed up
Those dealers are such scumbags for doing him dirty like that
First red flag would be any supra being sold from a mom & pop shop😂
Even if the supra is gold plated and diamond studded, I wont pay $57K for a used one.
They MSRP at 44k. Crazy up charge.
@@serrahighsfinest The fact that he was still interested let them know he'd be easy to scam. 😂
@@serrahighsfinest 44K is for the 4 cylinder model. The 6 cylinder starts at 53K for the base version. The one in the video has a starting msrp of 57k new.
It doesn’t look very comfortable. It’s so low to the ground.
@@archinichGoogle it again buddy.
1st mistake...buying your Dream Car used...
I bought my dream car from an auction with flood damage LOL. It's 8 years old and has 85k miles 🤷 The difference is I know how to work on them
Not a mistake if you have a set of nuts on you to work on cars and a brain so you know what to look for so you don't overpay. Bought my 2nd gen eclipse gsx 5 speed for only 4k and they're selling for 20-40k now. Nobody wanted it because half the interior needed to be replaced and needed a paint job and minor body work (never been in an accident and a clean title). Only put in 3k into the car and it looks like it would look brand new off the lot besides inside the engine bay where I have a lot of mods like 16g turbo, greddy bov vented to the atmosphere, etc. Also zero rust because it's lived in California it's whole life.
If your. Dream Car is NO Longer in Production...You have no choice. But in this case, Big Mistake.
With that said, I bought multiple Dream cars used and I don't know how to work on them besides oil changes. I do all the needed homework though.
@@passionnotparked9099 what are you a woman? What kind of man doesn't know how to work on cars?
I will take that as a Compliment, I don't work on my own cars because I don't have the time. I own over 18 cars currently and most are Dream cars accordingly as I grew up. I have 2 very good mechanics whom works on them if need be, most dont because I do my homework. I am an Auto and Insurance Broker.
I love to see ppl freak out when they see the yellow funny light 😂
This sounds like the place where I purchased my vehicle … also in San Diego. They let me drive off without car insurance and distracted me so much that I didn’t test drive either
“the Emissions controls had been tampered with”
Yeah that’s called an aftermarket exhaust..
Little lawyer in a giant suit, little lawyer in a giant suit.
I don't know how a DACA student can afford a $57k car. I have to pay full tuition for my son at a two-year college and we can't afford anything but a used 2014 honda civic with 90k miles on it.
He can't.
2014 Honda Civic with 90k miles is pretty nice, that ain't really no struggle if you ask me. My homeboy recently bought a 1988 Toyota Camry with like 234k miles... straight bucket
A 2014 Honda with 90k miles is a good car.
Car loan
Buying the cars Americans won't.
Before that lawyer takes anymore cases he needs to get a suit that fits lol.
When was the last time you saw a lawyer with a decent set of clothes?
@@rayray8687 lol watch the show suits lol
That Lawyer, in cheap suit, is dreaming -- if the dealership takes the car back, and return all the money, this dude would have had a rent-free Supra for months...
That statement alone shows the Lawyer is an idiot..
Let me get this straight…… Hector went and bought a Supra with TWO spoilers, modified red Supra Emblem, Carbon fiber engine cover with AMS (tuning company known to sell big power turbo kits) and another tuning company stickers and more mods in the engine, on a car that uses a BMW engine (BMWs are known for their issues), and Hector did not see any of this? Buddy had it coming to him. Do not buy on emotion, do not buy a model car if you’re not ready for modded/race car problems. 100% his fault
Well supras are known for being really modded engines. Maybe he had no clue that the new supra is a garbage
garuntee he bought it because of the brand name "supra" and a couple videos of a 1000hp modified mk4 on youtube lol.
When I had my stock 21 supra it had issues and I was the first owner. This car will have typical BMW electrical issues and reliability.
He's also a DACA student collecting financial assistance and decided, purchasing a 57k used and abused supra was a good idea. Meanwhile he's voting for student loan forgiveness and playing the victim card
i used to work for Toyota and most of the tech told me to stay away from Supra
Just get a used BMW Z4 and put on Toyota badges. Cheaper and you won't have to go $57,000 in debt.
Lmao. And I use to run a billion dollar hotel agency. B58 is sought out to be one of the greatest engines made.
You need to WATCH OUT for sales people or anyone who uses immediate emotional connection or tries to trauma bond with you, all to run a scam on you, on your name, on your assets. People are taking things waaaaay too far these days. These are professional criminals. It's sick! Karma is coming for them. Big time!!

I work at a repair shop and one thing that sits with me forever is this family that came in wanting an alignment on a Honda Civic they had just recently purchased. They were Hispanic and barely spoke English. When I got under the car, it was the worst thing I ever seen, huge chunks of frame missing, the motor mounts were JB welded the motor sat slanted, sub frame bent to hell, had new suspension but that was useless. I mean the car can do a U-turn on it's own if you let the wheel go. They couldn't entirely understand so I brought them under and showed them everything. They got the mechanic/seller on the phone and I straight up told him the car shouldn't be on the road. He's like "No es ok" And we started arguing. I never in my life felt so angry on a phone call with a stranger. I mean I called him everything, and the poor customers had to witness me standing under their car screaming at the guy on the other side of their phone. The guy started threatening me and all that fun stuff. I mean I'm getting mad thinking about it again. Lol. I will say this, that car probably could have been driven, by someone like myself that's mechanically inclined that would drive to work and back only. A beater up kind of car. Not a family car, where women and children would be traveling in. This family was ready to bring it back to Texas with them.
Buying a used car?? Get it checked!!!!! Get multiple opinions! If they say no you can't bring it to your mechanic, tell them you are not interested.
this happened to me and my dad one time, we were buying a BMW 550i that appeared to be clean, but upon 3 days of ownership the car instantly had a check engine light and started leaking oil on the first day
not to mention when buying the car the dealer was unusually friendly about it
just shows how scummy dealers can truly be
You are looking to buy a car that is rated 1.5 stars out of 5. The only thing on the planet that can help you is when buying it new you will have a warranty. That was your mistake. BMW = check engine light. BMW = Oil leak. List goes on. You could have bought a Model 3 Tesla for less money and never need to pop the hood it's entire life.
Don't buy used BMW's they are unreliable break down and expensive. If you bought a Lexus you would have NO issues. th-cam.com/video/-1g7nWU1Cig/w-d-xo.html
On a Toyota I'd freak out but on a BMW that is not unusual at all.
