Welp, sorry Nico, but a blind purchase for such an amount is dumb.
Buying a car blind is like consigning a watch with The Timepiece Gentleman, Tony The Tugger Ferrer!
Yep
When playing the boss goes wrong. I can imagine Rick Ross when he hears the news 😂
But you constantly buy stuff blind of the internet for $5-10 , well for him this Lambo is like us spending $10
@@zenmoto369 But you usually have buyer protection even for $5-10 purchases 😬
IN THE NEXT SAGA, Nico is going to end up with Ferrari Testarossa…but it turns out to be a Pontiac Fiero with Ferrari body kit lol

heres my great friend who sells supercars , but i brought mine from a donkey and missed 15 red flags along the way , rip quarter milli

Why didn't you have this guy find a car for you? Because it would cost more and you didn't want to pay.
10k off! I wonder why
This was the exact freaking comment that I was looking for not to mention he has how many friends in the car world that could have hooked him up give me a break
He's some front buying a car from boysy and then running to hartleys for advice 😂
Nico, if it makes you feel better, I bought a 78 Ford Laser and the guy told me it had a full tank, bastard sold it to me with a quarter of a tank of fuel! I was so scammed!
You got even more scammed as there was no Ford Laser in 78 ;)
@@JesseKraalso much worse than Nico's problem!
damn it's horrible. well if it makes you feel better, I bought a 87 Mercedes W124 and turned out rear left fog light doesn't work. I had to buy a new bulb 😭
Wow, man, really feeling bad for you, I know how it feels to get ripped off, and i hope you get closer out of all this. ❤❤❤❤
The fact that you bought it sight unseen, didn't even get it inspected by a dealer/mechanic of your choice, didn't even check the vin for a crash report is just begging to get scammed. These things I'd do trying to purchase a $10,000 car let alone buying a super car is astonishing. A classic case of having too much money and not enough brains. Your buddies like Mark, or Matt is a phone call away to advise you and you don't pick up the phone is mind boggling
I bought a used Ferrari 458 blind around 2012. It was stupid to purchase without much more due diligence and there is no commenter here that can make it not stupid. You just get obsessed with the idea of owning your dream car and all the things you want to do with it that you make very risky decisions to achieve your goal. I got lucky however and it was a wonderful car till it was rear ended at a traffic light and the insurance company took it away.
100000% agree
It seems to me that it's us buying here Nico's bullshit. He might have just done it for the views. Why would he make a video of every phone conversation? Seems more like a scam on viewers and they all took the bait so well..
@@nosakus bang on. The thing is... those who buy good like these that he sells... dont want to see their seller buying anything from anyone so openly dumb.
You think id trust him with my money after seeing how he treated this purchase?
HARD no for me...
After seeing the comments on your channel and you turning up at Donnington in a car bought from Birmingham another thing only idiots do matt armstrong will stay away from you altogether it's like me going to the pub with the village idiot looking for a shag I get tired with same brush if it helps all my mates think your a twat too😅😅
After the Ferrari escapade, why on earth would you buy a car blind? Even if you was buying from your own brother 🤦♂️
seriously, i had a friend help me thoroughly shake down an MX-5 i was buying, i can't imagine buying anything sight unseen let alone a six figure car.
Nico has enough money to blow.
A car in the 6 figure range is like for us, when we go to Starbucks
Either buy a new car or go inspect the used one and dont bitch on youtube about it
@@ALEXANDER_MARIO_S. Not really lol
@@ALEXANDER_MARIO_S.Hell no, he barely can keep up with his lifestyle
Seriously, would Nico ever buy a $200,000 watch with this same level of due diligence? Amazing when people work at a high level in their own industry, and somehow lose all common sense when they step into another industry simply because they are blinded by the facade of success.
Nico operates his business with total honesty and wrongly assumed the dealer operated on the same level.
I understand Nico as it has happened to me ONCE.
Watch dealers like Nico only have one thing going for them, well many, but the most important thing is integrity. I can see why Nico would assume the same of a reputable supercar dealer. Watch’s are small, cars are big. It’s far easier to check out a watch. This dealer clearly miss represented the car. I would say that Nico was stupid to wire the money to the owner, not sure what he thought he was doing there as that has a massive red flag particularly from an AML perspective which I am sure Nico is fully aware of given his business. AML and KYC are not nice to haves but mandated. Given Nico used the UK banking system he might have a case for being financially scammed.
I think it's a good example that while someone maybe a king in their own area, they are not an expert at everything. A little humility and understanding your limitations goes a long way.
Car dealers buy cars blind off other reputable dealers they trust and I bet watch dealers do too. He shouldn’t think because he’s in the watch game he can do it with a car though but I understand if this is a very very reputable uk car super dealer why he was dumb in the excitement. BTW car dealers and watch dealers do get screwed sometimes in those deals too cause bad dealers will do it if they are going bankrupt or quitting efc but my dad probably bought 100 cars blind and if there was a issue it usually got sorted quickly in a cal
Dude wanted the content
You’re trying to blame the dealer when you’re the knob buying a car that expensive without inspection 😂
That would not be a problem if it was a serious dealer.
@@martincarlberg9671serious dealer or not, buyer will always need someone with knowledge of inspecting the car. Doesn’t matter if it’s a Toyota Camry or a Porsche Carrera GT.
@@martincarlberg9671That makes him even more of a knob for buying a super car without inspecting it from an un-serious dealer 😂
@@TheBongReyes you mean an inspection like the one a main dealer apparently did? People buy cars blind with manufacturer pre purchase inspections all the time. An apparently reputable dealer selling a car with a fraudulent inspection report is not something anyone could anticipate.
He's doing this for content I bet. I bet he's got big name car friends who are in on this, I dont believe he's done this blindly. Maybe he's going to have some "moral of the story" thing about this and tie in watch buying into this. My thoughts.
Someone that uses "mate" in every sentence, is to be doubted in any circumstance.
Agreed
its the british way
Yeah, cops call you "mate" when they're arresting you for mis-gendering someone on social media.
Absolutely, especially dealing with a customer, zero professionalism
Yes that bloke sounded clueless and dodgy. I’m not your mate, I’m a client!
The minute you was asked to wire the money to someone else not the dealer I would of walked out full stop.
Red flag doesn't get bigger than that
And the dealer knew this. Set up
He signed a contract with the person that was not the dealer. If i agree to buy a jar of coffee from you outside Tesco that you own I do not wire the money to Tesco to take the coffee from you. It was a private contract between two parties, the buyer and the seller, the dealer merely displayed the car.
For balance, dealers with SoR cars tend to do this (especially on expensive ones). Think about it, you as a dealer sells a car on SoR, you give the seller his money when sold, a week or two later it develops a major fault, who pays?
@@anyexpatthat’s where he went wrong. He should have sent the money to the dealer not to the owner.
The classic impuls buyer with the mind of a child. I guess he still need to learn a bunch of things in life. Normally dad would take care of these things
Anyone in my experience who uses 'mate', 'honestly etc multiple times during a conversation.. cannot be trusted!
Fact
Agreed.
I do not do deals with people who say Mate or Bro or Buddy. It is the fastest way to sound untrustworthy to me at least.
It was so off putting when he said mate like 5 times. Shady as
Pretty much everyone then you donut.
Watched for 54 seconds to the point where you said -"bought the car blind."

LMAO Carl is as slippery as a fucking Eel soaked in baby oil. Wouldn't touch a car of his with a bargepole and a gun to my head
Why are we buying cars without inspecting them first? You wouldn't do that with expensive watches.
Because he was going off the inspection sheet
Nico you must be the most unluckiest person when it comes to buying cars, constantly getting screwed by dealers 😂
Nah he fucked himself on the Ferrari lmao. Trash brand.
They see him coming, he is always talking to much and being to excited, they see him coming.
@pete6724 unfortunately, I think you are right. When you are being too nice and "welcoming," chances of getting F goes over the roof.
Not unlucky really.. more like more money than sense.. you never pay direct to seller on a sale return. You screw yourself
Unlucky buying cars.
Genius in selling overpriced watches.
Dude, give me a break!
You'd be better off buying a total wreck and giving it to Mat for rebuild, quite an expensive blind buy
Seriously. He would've had a better car and he could've had more customizations.
That’s not a bad idea. Would be a great project for Mat…
Mat has already enough cars to build, I think he should do it himself with the help of a expert
The problem is Matt spends more than the cost of buying a none crashed one on several occasions .
Next time Just buy a raffle ticket to win one of matt armstrong´s cars 🤷♂️
How are people not screaming about Manifest and Receive by Eva Hartley? I’m genuinely confused. This book cracked something open in me I didn’t even know was blocked. I don’t know how to explain it, but my income doubled in just a few months, and for the first time, I feel like I truly understand how life works.
Keep it up. Sure you will be a billionaire soon 😂
What???
Nico must be a total whacko and an idiot. He knew all the right people in the car game and he fell into a scam.
Its on you nico.
You knew Carl hartley, Matt Amstrong, Mark Mccan, yianni etc. How can ypu go wrong with all of that.
He bought it sight unseen.
@@robertturnbull2903 That's not the issue though. Sure the paint thing maybe. But let's ignore that. The other faults wouldn't be visible immediately. The big fail is not buying directly from the dealer and letting them just be the "messenger". Because that destroys the consumer rights completely. Otherwise, if reputable dealer and problems arrive, you've got the right to have them fix it or at worst cancel the purchase etc..

@@robertturnbull2903you’re stupid. That’s exactly what the OP is saying 😭😂
Because it makes good content. No other possible reason. 😊
Who buys a Lamborghini without seeing it?? Without asking for an inspection? I'm increasingly surprised at how Nico managed to build a watch business despite being so naive!
that’s what happens when you’re too excited, you don’t bother inspecting the car because you want to drive it out the dealership ASAP.
Truth
@@waytooboring- I agree, especially with the added pressure of having to produce content quickly!
this nico guy is dumb asf not like nico from gta4
At that price, paying for an inspection is such a easy hedge bet if anything was wrong with it, max itll cost is 1 to 2 k, maybe more with transport. But at least you would know not to buy the car
I think starting off the video by saying “I need to be careful because I don’t want me or my family being threatened” is a bit overkill to be honest 🙄

Click bait. The guy is a complete plonker. He basically asked to get ripped off.
Glad you’re putting this video up to help people be aware 💯
Nico is acting like a 15 year old when buying a used brand car but has full knowledge of branded watches 😅😂
When you buy a used car for twenty thousand, you go look at it, take a test drive, check the documentation, take it to a service station where they check if everything is fine and that it wasn't damaged in an accident, then you ask for a warranty and buy it. If everything is fine, of course. To blindly buy a used car worth hundreds of thousands, without seeing it, checking it out, testing it, etc., and then you're surprised because you got scammed, is, to put it mildly, naive.
A few hundred thousand to him is equivalent to 20k to you or I. His time is worth more to him than going to check out the car, clearly, or else he would have. Have to remember, these are just minor inconveniences to multi millionaires.
lol I just sold my 2016 Mitsubishi MOntero Limited the other day. Buyer drove 2 hours to see the car and didn't want to do a test drive, never checked properly inside the car and definitely did not due a technical inspection....meeting took 15 minutes and he drove back...couple days later after checking his ID and asking questions I asked why he didn't checked the car properly (me knowing my car is 100% because I care) he said he felt he could trust me...week later we made a transaction...I setup a contract and he paid me my asking price around 17000 USD. When I bought my car I hired my mechanic checked several cars and did a proper test ride and asked for documentation/history etc and check the seller if he is legit
@@Podski5558 100% you can tell by his friends, they seem kind of like leeches or yes men. no hate just saying

@@abXbawz My advice, LEASE a new sports/super car
(As you will see from the comments a rather vile troll has been having a go at me, so I thought I would clarify something. I don’t follow this channel but the video came up in my feed and piqued my interest, so I thought I would try and be helpful. I assumed this contract was made in England as the dealer, purchaser and his mates all have English accents. If the contract was made outside the U.K., then what I say below doesn’t apply, but if it was, then the following is a correct legal summary).
Lawyer here. In general terms it is important to establish the exact legal role of the dealer, was he acting as an agent, or did he take steps that made him directly liable, for example was it him who arranged the so called seller report? Even if your usual consumer and distance selling rights do not apply, you still have other contract law based rights, particularly in this case those relating to misrepresentation. I suspect also the ‘contract’ you signed may have contained various exclusion and limitation of liability provisions, but If it is established that fraudulent misrepresentation has occurred, then those provisions would be rendered invalid by the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977. Good luck!
Cop here, you’re under arrest.
Common law abiding member of the public here.
**Grabs popcorn & a seat**
I disagree
Lambo seller here. Fiji is wonderful !
If he wires the money to the person the "dealer was working with" and then after the money is sent then the dealership emails or texts back ( which is a legal document that cant be changed) that the MOT report wasn't done/ included, negating good faith promises, isn't the dealer liable for fraud?
Would you have bought a watch for that price blind?
It's for RUclips contend.

Is it wrong to question Nico’s business acumen, especially considering that he operates a business model similar to the dealer’s-and this is the second time it’s happened? Once again, he’s making a public spectacle of it instead of pursuing legal avenues.
he should WATCH out
I worked in the motor trade for 3 decades. There is no such thing as a reputable dealer. If they can rip you off they will. All of them. Maybe carl and his dad might be an exception, because of the way they work with established clients, but for a general dealer, never beleive them about a thing.
Don't make me laugh. They are as bad as all the others.
You must have worked for shite dealers. I also worked in the motor trade for 15 years and we were honest and careful.

Lot of people actually, especially with private deals. Not everyone, even those that may be successful/intelligent and have plenty of experience in some areas, know things to do or not do or to look for when buying a car, expensive or otherwise. Everything is relative.
Bro buys a Ferrari, gets scammed by Ferrari. Bro buys a Lambo, gets scammed. At this point just buy a KIA and drive it until the warranty drops :D
You can literally see it’s two different colours on the cover photo of the ad straight away on the dealer’s website 😂😂

@@EliteAutoEleganceYou make no logical sense. Where did I mention that his friend should NOT make money on the deal? The best deal possible in no way means that the dealer should short change himself. Any businessman that follows that business model will be out of business in no time. The best deal possible means the best for the buyer and the best for the dealer. You don't have any idea how business works. Anyhow, at least his friend would not have sold him a piece of junk.
First and last time I've ever seen this channel what a clown show😂
When you have a car dealer or any other chancer who calls you “Mate”, particularly 4 times in about 8 seconds, you should know he is definitely not someone to do business with.
Nico you learned a very hard lesson here!!! Don’t trust anyone you don’t know. I have a feeling you’re going to have to swallow this one and knock it up to one of life’s lessons.
This is his second lemon
Nico, you should get a prepurchase inspection next time. People like to take advantage when they know you haven’t checked things properly 🙏
True

He got a £10k discount bet now he wished he bought from Tom Hartley hope the lessons learned 🤔.
Even though I'm agreeing with all the comments here I think you guys are a bit too harsh on Nico. He showed faith in the car community/industry and paid the price for it. This dealership was so called 'trustworthy' and he gave the benefit of the doubt. Over the years the supercar youtube community has been amazing and 99% positivity and he got carried away in it. He fell victim to a scam and yes he could've seen the red flags from miles away but he made a decision from the good of his heart to trust another human being. Putting the blame on Nico is not deserved in my opinion and I think the hate should definately be shifted towards the dealership who made the choice to scam a person who went ignorant. Nico isn't the bad person here. The dealership is. I'm sorry for you hope you figure this out.

It's still on the recently sold list. You can see from the pictures the front wings have been off
The car is on their Insta
It’s on there RUclips channel
If anyone is wondering its Philip Ireland performance cars that's the dealer that screwed Nico.
No. There's obviously 2 parties involved. That company might own the car but its obvious another 'dealer' sold the car - that been the person he's on the phone to.
@@DaleSteelyou say that though it’s listed on Philips website - surely if it were sold by another entity / individual it wouldn’t be featured?
@JJR_77 have you watched Nico's video? He explains their was shenanigans on him paying the 'owner' and not the 'dealer' when he's on the phone to the 'dealer' at the beginning his voice is very familiar as it sounds like a well known youtuber. Now it might be coincidence but something is very odd about the whole thing. I'm a car dealer myself so I find it interesting. As a dealer I know how sale or return generally works which why I am saying there's 3 parties. It appears that the unknown dealer (who he's on phone to) as sold it sale or return on behalf of the owner (whom also happens to be a dealer). Hence your confusion.
@@DaleSteelhi bud would you mind trying to explain what will happen next then? because to me i find strange how he's had the vehicle in stock advertised on his website and had the car listed as near perfect when clearly it's not, and would have seen the issues with the lambo whilst it was in his showroom being prepared to go before Nico took delivery. I also find it strange how he allowed this to happen to a youtuber who he knows would more than likely make content out of it and is prepared to risk his reputation on it. TBF though Nico is a moron for doing it over the phone, and not using do diligence before buying.
If it's that Dealer the advert is still online showing sold for a 2015 car, also a video on you tube. Same car same colour but possibly not the one ?
If you're going to scam somebody on a car, don't do it to a famous RUclipsr that can put you on blast. smfh
I swear Nico finds a ways to make his life harder regarding collecting super cars! xD
This is why its a well known fact that if you buy a super car, you have to have the money for constant repairs, especially if you actually plan to drive it around and not let it sit in a garage 99% of the time. Repairs on these things that would be simple on other vehicles, end up costing like $100k just to change a few parts.
This would require the ability to think.
Why wouldn’t you just buy the car from Carl?
Bc hes not smart
Yeah exactly. He couldn't deal with problems of a brand new Ferrari so he bought a 10 year old exotic no MOT without inspecting it from some random person instead? LOL
I do not get all the drama over threats. Is he saying that he expects the main dealer to threaten him and his family. Thats a hell of a leap from selling a dodgy car. He only promised to give the dealers name so that must be where he feels the threats will come from. Sounds like a lot of made up drama to me. If I was the main dealer I would be contacting a lawyer over his suggestion that they will threaten him and his family. What a load of rubbish! Cannot believe Armstrong who deals with dealers all the time is getting involved in this farce.
Not sure what's the worst: the scammer, buying a car with obvious red flags, or the over-sharpening on the video
Nico , you run in a good circle of friends. Let mat help you get the car you want on auction and let him help you fix it . Atleast you know it’s mint once Matt had it. He can do anything basically. If not , let Mr Hartley help you get the one
they are yes men
3:27 I remember this was sprayed In Leicester in a side street garage of st Steven’s road highfields Leicester over sprayed like that with masking tape under the paint. Then I seen it on Kent street st Mathews Leicester looked like drug dealers defo was red lining the engine and 3 woman around the car at the end of Kent street Leicester they was there then I seen it flying down Maidstone road highfields Leicester at about 80mph over speed bumps. Good luck lad keep in mind the bonnet was only sprayed.
Yeah mate ive seen it too in the exact same locations
Get a few dodgy garages round there - my mates s3 was stolen and ended up being found down there being wrapped in black
watched the whole video. not a single valid claim that anything was wrong with the car for that age. no proof of a scam. the guy on the phone acts exactly how I would act if a customer came with baseless accusations. absolute waste.
NICO - bottom line, you are a dummy when it comes to buying/keeping super cars. stick to your Range Rovers.
Bro no stick to a g wagon the range rover will break down 😂
range rover are even worse
You could hear his voice starting to shake once you told em about the paint difference.
Rule of thumb, mate: "Buy the dealer" but only for watches.
I genuinely don't understand if you are mates with one of the most reputable exotic car dealers in the UK, - why the f*CK did you buy this lemon without deep diving??!
Lamborghini is the equivalent of the Hublot in the car world 😂 enjoy your yellow Hublot mate 😂
Lamborghini is one of the most reliable supercars
@@matisssvehs5094 Exactly, that guy knows nothing lol, Ferraris and McLarens are the worst in reliability
@@OfficialLegend especially Mclarens
Why what colour is your lambo?
I hope things get resolved in a fair way your a cool dude that gives back to the community as we all seen in your Christmas blog video. You have kept your cool not easy to do in this situation i hope your next video shows the seller makes this problem right and fixes it free of charge which would be fair for what you have gone through on this situation
Let’s be honest there are people with worse problems than a clean titled lambo with some issues
More money than sense. He was waiting for an idiot with a fat wallet to come along and……”oh hi Nico, mate”
"I'd never do that..... willingly". Or in other words, you would.
I cannot believe how you didn't do more research on such an expensive car . I do more checks and call previous owners etc even when buying an 8k car from any dealer. TRUST NO ONE
Geezus mate, stop being so impatient and do your homework. That dealer is a farkin snake.
I watched 5 mins and realised I instinctively dislike this muppet with way too much money to waste and just don’t care what he’s waffling about .. 🎤drop
👍🏴
Here we go.... 🍿🍿🍿🍿
1) You paid 270,000GBP for a used Lamborghini. At that price why didn't you just get a new one straight from Lamborghini themselves?
2) No Dealership will ever ask you to transfer money into another client's account. The dealership either owns the cars entirely or they have a relationship with the manufacturer to supply them cars
Sounds like a scam video. Can someone be so dumb and buy a Lambo blind???
The "contract" at 11:27 says 240k but he says 270k at 12:23 he can't keep the story straight
@@joeyr184Nah, it's a mistake because he is lying.
@joeyr184 i dont make 30k mistakes. And I dont have a Lambo. If I buy a car for 50k, i dont make a mistake and tell someone I paid 60k
You have very clearly signed a contract that shows that the dealer has zero liability in this agreement. You formed a contract with the private seller and bought the car as is via that seller. Normally people view cars to verify the condition, you declined that option and simply accepted the car. The tread could easily have gone during the 100miles on the track and warning lights happen, it may happen 1 mile, 100miles or 1000 miles after you take ownership but there is no evidence there was a fault before you drove it and you did not perform reasonable tests then its your problem. Time is money i get that, but you could and should have had someone inspect the car in advance of buying it. Its an old, temperamental car that you had on a track, the paint colouring aside I do not see what grounds you think you have for any sort of action. Would a reasonable person notice the paint colouring? Maybe yes / Maybe no, your friends did not instantly notice it during the reveal so it is debatable. You do not lose your rights when buying privately, the car has to be fundamentally described accurately as far as I can tell it was.
Exactly. This is on him.
theres no action to be taken here. He rolled the dice and he lost. Next time just pay a mechanic if its out of town to go and inspect the car himself. This is his fault for being a idiot.
Half of that is nonsense. We have no idea if he did any track driving or how many miles he did on track but it certainly was not 100 miles. I dont think they showed any of it and we dont know what point they stopped to deal with the paint issue. The main issue here is the apparently fraudulent inspection report. If the seller has fabricated a report to conceal issues with the vehicle he should have legal recourse. That is blatant fraud.
The next time you see your dream car, temper your enthusiasm and research the dealer and the car thoroughly, and NEVER buy blind.
Nico, you are probably the most dumbest guy out there. Don’t complain when doing something super stupid 😂
No one buys half a million car blind. This whole video feels like scam.
Your just wrong people buy Bugattis blind.
I hit $346,880 today. Thank you for all the knowledge and nuggets you've thrown my way over the past week. I started with $25,000 in the last week of 2024, and now I've just hit $346,880.
Hello! 👋 How do You make such a monthly amount? i'm a born again Christian and sometimes I feel down on myself because of low finances, but I still trust in God's help.
Contacting a financial advisor like Patricia Vesely, who can assist you in restructuring your portfolio, would be a smart move. Personal financial management will be crucial for navigating the challenging times ahead.
She’s truly a great investment advisor. I had the privilege of attending some of her seminars-that’s how I got started with my own crypto investments.
Attending her seminar must have been incredibly informative and inspiring, encouraging you to take the leap and start your own crypto investment journey. That’s fantastic!
Patricia Vesely has truly set the standard for what a financial advisor should be. Her guidance has been incredibly helpful, and her impact here in the US has changed many lives-including mine. We absolutely love and appreciate her dedication and expertise.
I think the way forward would be to buy something with Mat and do a video series together restoring it! Double viewers slightly different videos/views two audiences and you'll know the vehicle has been done properly
I would say buy a car new but that didn’t work either last time 🤷♂️😂
😂😂
There is a warranty. Its completely safe..... unless you are dingdong like Nico :D :D :D
I used to work at a used car dealer. Never trust any type of report/inspection/MOT done by the dealership. Pay a bit extra for a 3rd party inspection. Rather loose a deposit/inspection charge rather than thousands in repairs later on!
All well and good everyone saying what to do after the fact. Truth of the matter is when you find what was meant to be a reputable dealer all should be as one would expect. Hope you get sorted mate
My wife, a professional corporate auditor, would have flushed them out before the sale.
What a bozo. I think the dude got scammed on a previous vehicle purchase, and he's been screwed on others. He has friends in the car culture, yet he goes around doing his own think like a fool he is. Ask the people that know shit, because you dont know shit. Just focus on watches. 🙄
Best believe once the dealer sees this video and the views it has, the issues will be resolved ASAP!
But it's a shame for the normal guy that doesn't have this kind of reach that the dealer won't be exposed and they'll still be able to act in this shady way.
Or a huge law suit for damaging their companies reputation?
@@Braveheart7914-idfl No law suit possible if the allegations are true.
Philip Ireland performance cars … the dealership 😅😂
😂
I almost got scammed into watching your 16min video, let's all cry and send money to this dumb click bait guy.
So .... the car was not as good as expected. Well the paint is already corrected via a good polish. Now bring it to the best Lamborghini shop and have the technical issues corrected. A new waterpump with gasket, a new hydraulic pump for the gearbox and a new oxygen sensor. Then if your wise, give it 4 new tires, a fresh MOT and a big service. Done. Perfect car after that. Stop wining if you can fly a private jet and wire 270K pounds to someone you've never seen. Then you can also correct this car. And of course it is not nice, I get that, but all this fuss for a few parts, a good service and 4 tires is in my opinion to much. If you didn't wanted this, you had to go there and give the car a buyers check before buying. I'm sorry but you're dumb Nico. Learn from it.
Time to get a new jacket that doesn’t have the FTX logo on it.
No pre purchase inspection? Nico! You know better! You inspect watches prior to wire
Bro, dod you not watch the vid? That paperwork was his supposed PDI, not only supposedly a PDI but a comprehensive inspection. But they obviously passed off some BS.
You gotta treat this like a expensive watch deal. Your smarter then this.
You're* smarter than to use your when it's you're.
@@KeithChegwin24 woah numb nuts I didn't realize I was back in college. No one cares.
People in the comments have gone blind themselves because they have failed to read the video title properly. It says 'Well Known Supercar dealer'. You do not become well known by ripping off your customers, you become well known because your customers have liked what saw/what they got and passed that on to others who liked what they saw/what they got and so on and so on. They put their trust in the dealer and they get rewarded for it. The deal builds up a good customer base and a good reputation hence getting called 'Well known Supercar dealer'. Other customers have clearly put their trust in this dealer because he would not have a good reputation otherwise. So, the question is as Matt rightly points out, is the car owner scamming the dealer into using their good name and reputation to sell a faulty car by hiding stuff from the deal OR is the dealer and the car owner working together to scam the customer.
I think you will find the guys are in the belief that the car dealer is the one doing the scam because once everyone saw the car they all noticed the difference in colour between the bumper and the rest of the car but when Nico rings the dealer to enquire about the colour difference the dealer says he did not notice any colour difference. How does the care dealer not see the colour difference when many others can? Either the car dealer is colour blind or is in on the scam with the car owner. If that is the case then the comment made by one of the guys about the car health check sheet is how Nico get's his money back because that health check sheet is fake and thus fraud has taken place because that health check sheet is what is required to help sell the car and if it turns out to be faked then the contract of sale is void.
