After getting out bidded on everything else that I wanted, I got into a bidding war on the very last vehicle in the auction. I had to have it!

I wouldn't buy another if they were still going for what I paid originally, nevermind what they go for now. Also, nice clickbait title. No scam. You mean to tell me that you laid cash down, and the other guy signed the title, before you had agreed to buy the car? It was a done deal. ...but it's not surprising someone who thinks shocks would cause the car to ride low was disappointed by what they got after buying an aircooled.

    I almost got scammed buying mine aswell. In 2006 the car was 13k i talked him down to 9. went back the next weekend to pick it up and saw theres a lean on the title. He says oh yeah you can pay that off easy. Uhh no! So we had to wait till the weekend after and meet at the bank to get a clear title. He still owed 6K on it! I still have the car and its great.

  • @seanof30306

    How exactly did he "scam" you?
    He didn't misrepresent the car. You admit you didn't look it over as carefully as you should have and didn't pay attention to the red flags that were in plain sight.
    You agreed on a price, you gave him the money, he gave you the title. The deal was done. Even if he hadn't had to go on a run, he was under no compunction to undo the deal after you regretted your poor decisions.
    You didn't get scammed, you got beat. The worst part is, you beat yourself.
    Also, what is this "the woman should do the shopping" crap? This ain't 1974 Bro.
    This title is either clickbait or character assassination. Either way, it's a downvote.
    To be fair, though, this video does answer the question "What happens when a narcissist gets a youtube channel?" Maybe you should do some cross-promotion with Richard Rawlings. Seems like a good fit,

    @Parents_of_Twins 3 года назад

    Don't think he's right about the amount the guy paid for the car. You pay taxes on the assessed value of your car in NC and that value is usually quite a bit less than actual value especially on cars that are over circa 10 years. When we bought our truck you pay the value you paid for the vehicle the first year. The second it had dropped like 6k and now it's been 3 years and I think the value is 12-13k less than what we paid however the trucks value on KBB or based on what similar models are selling is still pretty much what we originally paid, it's a Ram 2500 so they keep their value pretty well. So what he was seeing was either the tax value or what they told the county he paid for it to save him some money on the car.
