if you can wire 140k for a urus, you can take a flight out with a few friends and pay the dealer a personal visit
Smartest comment.
Didn’t wire 140k, clearly you didn’t listen. Just 30,000 was wired as a deposit, you pay the rest after the vehicle arrives like a normal vehicle lease off of a lot or upon delivery if you had it
You need to watch the video
Nothing like losing $30k and then getting sent to prison.
30k, but we get your point.
The criminal thing is that he actually thought a used urus is only worth $140K.
Ignorant comment, you must’ve missed the fact it was a 2019. Aka 4 years old. And had 38,000+ miles on it.
You can get on google and find one within 20%-25% of what he paid. Same difference as someone paying $14,000 for a $16,995 car, or buying a $999 phone for $799 from bestbuy on Black Friday. Not that big of a discount at all.
Who would buy a car for 80,000 or more is beyond me. Even if I had all the money in the world, I would never spend that much on a vehicle.
@@ameliawilder28it’s a Lamborghini Urus though. I’m buying!
@nickm2294 Urus is the only lamborghini I like, but I still can't imagine coughing up that much for a car! I love cars, I work on them, I customize them in my spare time when I'm not doing film/TV work, but it sounds ridiculous to be spending that much on a car. If it was a classic car......Damn, that would be so hard to refuse! I'd be caught in the middle. It would have to be very well kept, and driving like new if it will cost that much. I am a classic car person more than a modern car person. Growing up with parents who were mechanics and owned their own shop, I learned to do work on them, which saved me money, and I fell in love with getting my hands dirty working on vehicles. What better way to get to know your ride than to actually do work on it? It is so much fun and relaxing. Nothing like blasting some good oldies while doing maintenance work on your vehicle. Very relaxing.
Ah, getting off topic. Anyways, again, 80k and up is a little insane for any car. What can the Urus do that other cars can't? Besides the interior quality and speed. And I'm sure the interior material is not even that good quality. But I'm not going to lie. When the Urus first came out, it was the first lamborghini I actually liked. I would totally drive one!
@@ameliawilder28 Bro if you can’t afford it of course you not gonna buy it. But if you’re a millionaire or billionaire buying a Urus is like buying a Toyota.
No way! A car is one of those things you should ALWAYS buy in person!
But I can do it from my phone so it must be ok.
stop living in 1880s. i can take a poop while ordering cars and food at the same time
@@Derpherppington I've been ordering poop for years.
Teslas are purchased online and no problems because they don’t have a dealer network, and we will have more of that concept in the future for new cars, but yea buying a used Lamborghini online is a really bad idea
Absolutely and they are old enough to know better. By the way ma’am comb your hair.
This is shocking. Car dealerships are some of the most upstanding businesses in the world.
Ha nice joke
I wouldn’t blame dealerships, that’s a scam. Most people go to dealerships and leave with the car they want.
😂
😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂 most corrupted if you ask me…they worse than mechanics
You're also buying a Lamborghini form a dealership that looks like an old Auto Zone..... That's on you at that point.
😂😂😂😂😂 ppl so gullible
Seriously, no common sense for these ppl. Wiring money to lux auto depo?
😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The name “Lux Auto” should have been an immediate red flag
Lux Luthor was their boss.
@@AndrewDavie-er3ugu mean Lex Luthor from DC😅😂
More like Luxington Steele 😅because they got the rod🫣
Yea you’re absolutely right. I had a situation with a lux auto down in apopka FL. Luckily I drove down there to do the purchase and promptly left with my money
The fact that is Ohio should be more than enough 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Wires are irreversible. They should have asked for a written agreement to wire the refund in 3 days. Mailing a check is a joke
Like that would have made a difference. Theyre already doing illegal stuff what makes u think that will stop them?
A written agreement? There was already a written agreement for them to receive the car. What is a piece of paper going to force them to do that that the old one didn't?
These people seem like the type to wash the checks that get mailed to them to try and add an extra digit or something.
@@ranneff1903I thought the same thing
Has money for a used labo. Has no money to take a flight to said dealership.
My best friend found a Porsche 911 he wanted to buy at a dealer 500 miles away from our town. He emailed and eventually talked with the dealership and made a deal. The salesperson was eager to do a bank wire transaction and deliver the car to him but my friend was skeptical. We decided to drive to the dealership late the next day after driving for many hours. We did this without the dealer expecting us. To our surprise the car wasn’t even there and the guy we spoke to wasn’t there either. When we asked to speak to a manager they said he wasn’t there! After a few minutes walking around the lot I made casual conversation with a worker that was parking cars and was shocked when he said “we had a Porsche 911 but we sold it two weeks ago”. We left and my friend emailed the dealership when he got home. To this day we haven’t figured out if it was just the salesman trying to scam my friend or the business…
Was it a legitimate email?
Was the email address actually legitimate??????
It's real simple who was trying to scam your buddy. Both the car dealership and salesman! It was probably the owner of the car dealership's brother in law who was working as a salesman. Glad you and your buddy were smart and drove there. Better out a few hundred bucks for gas than tens of thousands of dollars and no car.
@@johannjohann6523 For sure. We actually had a fun trip. No way in hell we would wire out that kind of money sight unseen.
@@deplorablelibertarian The email address is what made us uncomfortable. It was a gmail account!
What kind of dealership sells a Urus inside a lot full of $2K cars! 🤣
Right
That’s how you know it’s scam once you pull up 🤔
Florida man got scammed
Not uncommon for a small lot to do a big flip if they find something good at the auctions
Difficult to believe that a car dealer would scam a customer.
Happens all the time with independent exotic car dealers. There was even one on American Greed.
Right, there the most trustworthy people around
@@caseycrites3692sarcasm isn’t your thing I see 👀
@@caseycrites3692no it does not happen all the time. Dealerships have buyers best interest at heart. They are respectful and kind trustworthy people.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Never wire $$ to a car dealer
Never buy overpriced vehicles and never buy what you don’t see in real life the pictures are all fake these people should know better. When you buy any vehicle especially out of your city or state you have to go and see it there’s no other way around it.
The never wire money to a car dealer is solid advice. There are escrow companies that do this for a fee. They only release the money after the car is delivered!
@@AB-jz9ns You don't need to pay someone to hold your money for you...
@@Waldo1122 Sometimes it is the only way if the car is hundreds of miles away from where you live.
@@AB-jz9ns yep that's what i did but with just under 50g not no 6 figure amount, and i also drove the 290 miles to test drive it prior. they delivered it after wire, no issues.
160 for an urus? Those are going for 300ish. It was obviously a scam to begin with. What were they thinking???
Depends on the year, spec and millage. 160k is pretty low but you can find them in the lower 200s for sure.
he was high and thought life was a walk in the park maybe?
Probably salvage
@@anthonypezzo6778that’s still over a $40k difference.
Ain’t no way they’re that fortunate to stumble upon one. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Especially when it comes to cars and houses.
They wasn’t thinking 😂
What Stealership doesnt scam the customers?
*EXACTLY 100%*
The fact that he wanted to rent out a Urus shows he doesn’t make smart decisions
BUY not rent
@@fredrickjames4340 Go clean your ears out real good and then have yourself a listen from 0:25 - 0:35
@@fredrickjames4340 He wanted to buy it to rent it.
@@wantsanewvehicleHeb wanted to buy it, and rent it out just like his friends that work in real estate.
Why? There is a market for that.
Big mistake to wire money. He should have used the USPS because it would have been easier to get the US Postal Inspectors on the case. They have a 98% conviction rate. This should be a criminal case in any event. You do NOT buy a car sight unseen from a small, independent dealer. Buy from a legit dealership. Buy Porsche from a Porsche dealer, etc.
If the dealer doesn’t deliver then they have committed wire fraud across state lines. That’s something that doesn’t get dropped.
Postal inspectors only deal with crimes against the USPS and with mail theft, not wire/check fraud or scams.
A great example of fools and their money.
Exactly. Who buys this type of vehicle sight unseen??? If you can afford it, take a flight out there.
@Blue-moon12 most buy these sight unseen. It's not your average car available near you a dime a dozen.
@@A_Brion Then don’t whine when you’re scammed. A knowledgeable high end car buyer would take the time to dot the I’s and cross the T’s.
Facts, if I had that kinda money I'd wanna goto the dealership and get the full experience and drive it right away.
Lots of people buy cars unseen. I’ve done it many times, with high-end cars. The problem is that some people want a good deal and are willing to buy from these small, crappy, dealerships. Small dealerships that sell high end cars are usually a red flag and need some vetting.
Sometimes the best thing is to go to a dealer in person, and do it the old way. Or deal with a dealer that is reputable, not this little luxury dealers that can scam you.
They probably never had the car and they trying to find one. These people are just lazy and stupid.
I bought a used car from a reputable dealership a few years ago.
They sold me a car that they did NOT have the title for.
That prevented me from getting is registered after the temp tags expired, so they gave me new temp tags until they finally got the title from whoever really owned it months later.
I think that should be illegal.
I did not elaborated on what I meant by reputable. I meant the big dealers, that have several locations and reputable. Not a one pap and moms dealer with one location.@@Molon_Labe1776
@@Molon_Labe1776 This is a common scam they pull too, usually when they believe they sold you a car that you actually don't like. They'll get you caught up in that then they'll offer you to buy your old car back or a new car in order to get out of the situation.
@@Molon_Labe1776dealers don’t have titles especially new car dealers
The dealership Should be charged with wire fraud.
Problem is the guy probably wasnt with a dealership... just some random guy who used the dealerships name as a cover. Try looking that vin up on any vin lookk up tool... NOTHING comes up... Thats your first clue its a scam.. Vinwiki of all people should be able to pull up stuff for it, Nada.
Then why is the dealership and lawyer saying they will send the money back?
@@brianmedeiros417 Because they are doing unethical things that they don't want to be shown to light. They might not be responsible for the scam but going to court and getting investigated will bring up lots of dirt.
@@brianmedeiros417 because its easier for the dealership to sue the guy in court who is imitating their own dealership.
@@crisnmaryfam7344umm 🤔 maybe you didn’t watch the video. They contacted the dealership itself. They were then given the run around about the money. Their lawyer has now been spoken to and the lawyer said they will be sending a check to them for $30k. I’m pretty sure your assumption is incorrect
When you can no longer tell the difference between a car dealer and a scammer...
Just don't buy used exotic vehicles over the internet from tin shacks on the side of the road in Ohio. Problem solved.
was there a difference before?
You know some things are better bought in person, especially when you're buying something expensive.
You would think. But I've recently had a dealership try to sell me a car they don't own. In person, even got to drive it
dealers scam in person as well…
30k deposit, and you can't fly down there? That's on you
The state attorney General should issue an arrest warrant for the dealer license holder and send ohio state police for a raid and arrest!
Not going to happen. They only do that for lesser crimes lol that’s Ohio for you
He should have personally showed up to buy it in person. I bought a pre-owned Mercedes S550 ltwo weeks ago. The dealership is in Texas. I live 200 miles away in Louisiana. Then salesman kept asking for a deposit. I declined everytime. I rented a car and drove the 200+ miles to get the car. If this dude has 30k to spend on a deposit, then he could afford to physically show up in person.
Did u get car what was procedure after u reached showroom?
@Bhp6505 I bought the car. I had the check with me when I arrived at the dealership. When I met the salesman he gave me the remote and I went on an hour long test drive. I liked the car so I gave him the check and signed the papers. Then I drove it 200 miles home. I spent $40,000 on my car. I was about to give him a deposit and then trust him to send me the car. This guy spent $30,000 on the deposit without personally seeing the car. That's something rich entitled people do. I work hard for my money and can't afford to throw it away.
@@carycoller3140 it's good that u didn't get scammed reps do scam at showroom too, my thinking is how can this guy be rich if he gets duped so easily😐
"The check's in the mail" Classic!!!
Let’s be completely honest here. This guy will do JUST FINE. that 30k is a small amount of his net worth. But it’s a good lesson for the rest of us.
But your point is totally irrelevant to the subject. The dealership is scamming people. End of story! Stealing from rich people is still stealing....
Think what he is saying that he’s not gonna go broke just learned a hard lesson
@@noyourawsome2lol979 Of course he was. And I was saying that it's unfair to come down on the victim of the scam for being a successful businessman who makes an excellent living. If we are not that successful, the jealousy is on us.... Thanks for your comment.
@@dalewalker5425Your opinion changes nothing kiddo. Keep crying. 🫵😂
Pretty insensitive comment
My mom told me when I was about 5 years old that if it sounds too good to be true that it is. This has always proven true. If you find a vehicle for $30K less than average, you might want to remember that. 🤦♂️ The buyer was so focused on how much he would make renting it out, he left his brain at home. Can't help but not feel sorry for him. A sucker is born every minute.
Mom was right. We usually are
The 30k was the down payment 😭😂 he agreed to 169k
When you think you’re buying a 2019 Urus, but turns out all the dealer sends you is a Uranus 😮
I’m taking a wild guess here.. but I think the owner of that dealership is taking people’s cash and using it to invest and make quick profits… whether it be small amounts of interest, stocks, real estate or even just buying and selling other cars. Give me $30k and I can buy and sell a couple cars with that in a few months making an easy $10k profit.
The idea is to milk the peoples money for long enough to get a small return. By the time they sue and it ends up in court, the guy can refund the cash and make out with the profits… using money that he never had! It’s like a line of credit with zero interest!
Owner is taking the money and gambling on 0DTE options 😂
It’s not unheard of in any business. They’ll take in a deposit, move it on to another project. Hoping they’ll get a generous profit to use on the next project in line. If not, then their projects get on hold indefinitely. It’s gambling with other people’s money. If it fails, they run out of state with a different company name.
He should have known that $140k is way under market for an Urus besides one with a bad title. The lawyer’s search turned up an auction listing at Copart, meaning it has been through a salvage auction
On top of not being totally scammed, buying a car in person allows you too actually test drive the car and see how it feels. There may be minor scratches or other things of the sort that are left out of online listings too.
OMG sounds like Nigerian Scams 😂
what kind of fool buys something that expensive without seeing it in person?
Rich people who have to much money.
Anybody that buys a vehicle off of website without going to look at it first deserves what they have coming
Couldn't agree more. I bought new back in 18 from a dealer a 1,000 miles away, told the sales manager that I would not take delivery until I inspected it in person. Appears these people purchased on emotion and didn't use common logic. I researched my model Lexus for 2 years before even considering a purchase. Absolutley insane people buy used online before a PPI especially a Lambo.
This happens everyday on Facebook marketplace.
The google reviews are all 5 and 1 star. Something tells me one side of those reviews is fake.
This is why I don't get deep into conversations with strangers over the internet.
The problem is with these sites like Car Gurus. They are selling something that they have never had possession of. If they had to have physical possession of the car then they could guarantee the sale.
They should have put a 500 deposit. Flew in and thoroughly inspected the vehicle in person. If they liked what they saw than make a in person purchase.
*then
That’s what happens when you wear women’s frames for glasses…
These people are not the brightest. I bought a Corolla and drove from FL to NC to see the car then drove it home. Flights to CA with Spirit is a couple hundreds
How much did you save from buying over there? Some dealers are marking up their cars up +$2,000
You know the one thing I'm asking everyone that reads. This is your contact your governor, your state representatives and demand to put a consumer protection law on the books that makes them not only have to give you $30,000 but also pay for the attorney's fees. It's not fair that someone has to escalate something so simple as giving money back for something you don't have and hit with attorney fees, we wouldn't need the attorney if business owners were stand up people and had some form integrity but because we don't, let's force our politicians to put some consumer protection laws on the books
I don't see the problem since I just got the car delivered to my house. Thanks I am here all week!!!!!!
Why anyone would buy a car (or anything of that financial caliber) online is beyond me.
Caliber*
Greed,
Buying cars, especially niche cars, online happens all the time. The mistake they made was not using an escrow service on such a large purchase.
It's super normal and a commonplace to buy cars online...
Why would you go to a stealership to spend 7 hours "dealing" with them just to get a car for MSRP when you can simply buy it online for MSRP?
NEVER buy a vehicle sight unseen, I got ripped off on a Porsche 997, photos looked perfect, bought it sight unseen, shipped it from Oregon to Arizona and when it arrived to my surprise it had TONS of issues that were carefully not show in the photos, tried suing the dealership but the lawyer told me I would spend $50K in lawyer fees, better to just take the loss, took me over $7,000 to get everything repaired. Never again will I buy a car unless I am there in person to view it and verify everything.
I've bought at least a dozen cars online without any problems whatsoever. If you do your due diligence, it is not a problem. As long as you get the vin number, even google can tell you what you need to know. Just like in person, if the deal seems sketchy, walk away. I just spent 40k last week on a suv sight unseen. I did all my research and probably know more about the thing than the seller.
Exactly even a street view of this place would've raised red flags for me. Looks like a Buy Here, Pay Here lot, not a place that would be selling a Lamborghini.
Just bought a car 2 hours out of state. Game them a $500 deposit with my CC and drove over to check it out and finish the deal. If the vehicle is not as described the credit card charge can be denied.
If you've got the money to wire the deposit on that car you've got the money to fly over and test drive the car which also serves the purpose of making sure it actually exists

This dealership should be out of business. This customer needs to file a complaint with the state and BBB.
They are not going to do anything 😂
Even if they eventually get a refund from the so-called lawyer, they better make sure that check isn't fraud and a bullcrap check that bounces.
ahahaha, that they will send a cheque got me laughing .....
Moral of the story, Don’t buy a 140k Lamborghini from a dealership that sells 2k wrecked Chevrolet’s and Nissan’s…
This is why u do NOT buy ANYTHING when u can not touch it and see it with ur on eyes in person !
lol tell that to all the people on Amazon
Car gurus needs to be investigated. It happened to me too
It never seems to amaze me when I hear these stories. Ppl have gotten to comfortable w/sending ppl money they never met. I will never understand…
Never trust online car buying. Always, always buy local. You may have to wait. But, you have local people to work with.
File everything you can in their state...travel there and go to the police. My local departments file criminal charges all the time against shady businesses that steal from people.
If you can’t afford an attorney but you can afford a used lambo you got issues….
It is an Audi 😂😂😂 not Lamborghini
@spitagony608 it's a Lamborghini Urus and they start around 240k
Dealerships nowadays are scamming people. For example, like me, I went through them for a car repair through my insurance and trusted them, but they messed up my car big time. They first didn't do a good job. I complained, then fixed it, but broke something else, and then told them to fix it. They broke something else again and again, and my gear letter was peeling. They blamed wear and tear. The worst part is that they never gave me a loan, and I had to use my own personal time and expense for their mistakes.
Also, there is another dealer who lied about the college rebate and took me 5 years to have them look into my problem. Firstly, they ignored me and blamed the dealership, and then the dealership blamed the manufacturer. Then I filed a complaint with BBB, Consumer Affairs, Consumer Protection, and OAG; all were helpless. Then I went to the state, and now the manufacturer is looking into it.
Can’t they file a claim against the business insurance like how companies do in trucking if some cargo get damaged they file a claim on my insurance what’s the difference? Or if a freight broker doesn’t pay me, I can file a claim against their surety bond
This is why you always get a pre purchase inspection done by a local mechanic that is near the dealership when buying cars out of state.
Who orders a car online? No one I know.
Every Tesla owners does.
This will only become more frequent unfortunately because of the new direction of car companies selling direct to consumer. Tesla already does it and Amazon will start selling Hyundai on their platform. If that does well then the floodgates will open😂
@@vicunaleather6992 How is that unfortunate? Do you actually enjoy going to a dealership and having to fight with a scammer just to get a car OUT THE DOOR for MSRP???
There’s no dealership in the world not scamming customers!!!!!!!
Tesla Dealerships aren't.
@@Waldo1122wait till u find out what ur tesla is worth 2 years from now lmao. Model S plaid was 140k brand new last year now its 89k. In 1 year. So what does the car actually cost to make? It obviously was never even worth 89k.. they cut corners by just putting a single ipad and bulky steering wheel as the interior with lower grade materials and plastic.
@@G82Watts They cut corners by not filling the interior with dozens of pointless buttons, airvents, screens, and gimmicks?
You're mad because instead of Tesla increasing their prices they brought their prices down to better compete with other car manufacturers while other car manufacturers keep going up and up and up.
@@Waldo1122 ur so delusional. U think if actual real high end luxury cars can cost less the company wouldn't lower the price so more people buy? Tesla cost less because they don't offer alot. Hell u can only pick from 6-7 basic ass colors. Other cars let u spec every little area with up to 60 color choices. Yes I rather have buttons that let me easily click it while looking at the road and not having to scroll for every little thing.
Tesla is fooling everyone talking about how they are able to cut manufacturing cost. Yes, some of it is true but the real reason is using lower grade materials and fabrics. It also completely takes away the cost of a HUD and gauge clusters which are really nice things to have. They try to make it sound like because they can produce better that's why it's cheaper when in reality it's just they don't offer the same things high end cars have. Carbon fiber racing bucket seats or luxury seats, alkintiare, buttons u can use that feel great to click and look at, carbon fiber areas in and outside the car, high grade sport steering wheels, ambient lighting , ventilated seats, harmon kordon or other high grade stereo systems,etc...
Tesla doesnt even give u a HUD, 360 cam, automatic suspension, etc... there self driving doesn't even let u look down or keep ur hand off the steering wheel like other brands do.
RED FLAG 🚨
“Wire a deposit” made out to the dealers account LOL NEVER. It’s easy folks, you go in person drive the car inspect it fully do all vin checks. Then you have your lender wire the money for the title of the car. The down payment goes to the lender NEVER THE DEALER.
He better get his money back before they enter bankruptcy
Wait, buying a Lamborghini online? Some of you Americans are completely nuts…
Why would you buy such a high end car from a random mom and pop dealer and wire THAT much money to them without any kinds of terms of agreement. If you have that kinda money to throw around then you could of afforded a plane ticket. Who even buys a car at all site unseen
Why isn't the buyer filing a complaint with the Law Society for the failed promise of repayment??
Greedy rich people got ripped off 🥰
Lol exactly what my old man would say
😂😂😂
Reputation especially for a dealership is key! That 30k isn’t worth the amount of clients they’re about to lose.
"There's a sucker born every minute"
If you can afford a $30K deposit you can afford a plane ticket first to go inspect the car yourself & get a PPI done if it seems ok initially.
Damn... dealer's playing with fire. You go and rip off the wrong type, legal problems likely going to be the least of your worries.
Any lux auto is sketchy. The one down in apopka Fl took photos in which you wouldn’t be able to see the damage. And neglected to mention it in the description and condition. I gave them 72hr notice that I was coming down and even updated notice while i was on the road. So when I get down there I discover that one of the airbags in the suspension is blown and that damaged a fender. They were refusing to put another one on unless I committed to the purchase. See that there’s additional damage that they never mentioned or showed , and that they won’t let me take the vehicle to get a pre buyers inspection nor just test drive the car with staff. Instead they told me if I wanted to get it inspected I had to pay to get it towed there and back due to the airbag and also that I could test drive an apparently already sold customer car of similar model smh. I Left with my money did the 8hr drive back home and the next day traveled to Georgia where I found the same model car that now is parked in front of my home.
I don’t know about other dealerships but I DO know that Carvana is safe to buy from. My husband and I have purchased 2 vehicles from Carvana in the past 3 years and they both were delivered in exactly 3 days. And the money was not withdrawn from our bank accounts until a few days AFTER we received the vehicles. So I can definitely vouch for Carvana. I probably wouldn’t buy a vehicle online from anywhere else.
Have you not seen all the lawsuits where people pay off their car and then Carvana never sends them the title? Turns out they’re flipping cars so fast that they usually don’t actually have the title and in some cases the cars are even stolen. Look it up.
@@daizzz7899 2 things. My first vehicle I purchased from Carvana is paid off and I have my title. Also, if you’re not aware, you can buy a vehicle from Carvana and use your own bank or any finance company of your choice. My vehicle was financed through Capital One. I never used Carvana’s financing because their interest rates are super high. My title came directly from Capital One. So based on my own experience, I would still buy another vehicle from Carvana. 🤷♀️🤷♀️
“Let’s scam rich people who can afford lawyers”
$30000 for a Lamborghini. Isn't that a red flag
Pay attention, that was the deposit.
@@rsximus Pay attention, the dealer didn't even have the car when he took their $30K deposit. A deposit it just that, it assures that you will get the car once they can deliver it. The balance is due prior to shipping the actual physical car. Now you know the rest of the story that you missed.
@@rsximus Maybe he was financing it. He paid the deposit, expected to get the vehicle, then make monthly payments. Of course the story did not mention whether he was financing or not.
@@rsximus Obviously there was some sort of agreement between both parties because the buyer was expecting the vehicle after wiring the deposit, and the dealership kept telling him it's on the way. Given the amount involved, that would a pretty stupid miscommunication between both parties.
That’s insane shut that company down I’m reporting them to the fdic
this is on them for not doing their DDs. I'm sorry but not sorry.
Throughout this entire news clip the reoccurring thing is that they sent a “$30k deposit” no where is it ever said that the Urus was wholly paid for. Why would any business send any product with only a partial deposit that was not paid for in full? Especially a vehicle that obviously would cost well over $30k? Sounds like there may be more to the story.
Scammers like this are destined to rip off someone like Tony Soprano and wind up swimming with the fishes
That's a bad situation but I would never buy a car without seeing it in person, how would you know the condition without inspecting it. Looking under the hood, test drive, even doing a walk around.
They lie and trick you in person,imagine doing it online.
I bought my last vehicle from a car dealership in flippin Canada, it was actually easy…Chevy Silverado, Canuck style.
If it souds too good to be true, chances are that it is.
I bought a 2014 Viper GTS sight unseen in 2021. I sent a very small deposit of $1,000 if I recall correctly, to ask that they not sell it while I flew from WA to VA. They agreed and I signed some initial paperwork to make it less likely for them to back out. I got there, inspected the car and finished the rest of the deposit of approximately $35k. I drove cross country from VA to WA, home. I would never wire the down payment to someone out of caution. I did something really similar with a 2022 Giulia Qaudrifoglio in AZ. Same rules more or less. The dealer initially thought I might be trying to scam them but when I rolled in after a flight and short overnight stay, they were pleasantly surprised and I was able to drive home from AZ. I think it's just a matter of not giving all that leverage up front. I'll likely repeat the aforementioned this year with a GT3 or a MC20 (very different cars but both are intriguing to me for different reasons) and I'm sure it'll be fine.
Typical used car dealer.
"Dealership accused of scamming customers" ... that's every day.
I hope these customers get their money. It appears this company is on the verge of tanking 😬
a fool and his money are soon parted
This is why I like doing things the old fashioned way.
Dang. Scammers are so nasty
Anytime a dealership name sounds like LuxAuto, or anything luxury/sport you better watch out. Lemons, salvaged titles, etc.
Honestly I don’t really know how people trust only cars to buy with this big amount of money 💰.
car dealership accused of scamming customers, that's at every dealership in the world it's just part of the car salesman culture😂
1st Red Flag, a Lamborghini Urus for $140K??? The Cheapest Urus I have ever seen was $200K.
Why cant i ever find these wonderful kind/GIVING ppl😅
What?? No pre purchase inspection? Nothing raising a red flag that you’re purchasing from an Ohio dealership and the car is in CA? I feel bad for the victims, but this is an expensive lesson in life about scammers.
Scamming a customer will lead to nowhere but a company loss and a jail time
