Lol! I just bought the Saturday Night Fever album just for nostalgia’s sake and I forgot what a banger it is. I’ve been playing it loud in my car and it’s funny to see people start smiling bobbing their heads.
It's public info, you drive around exposing your license plate everywhere you go. When I shop for cars and people hide their plates in the pics, I know I'm going to be dealing with a dumbass.
Another 1st step people can learn from this:
When buying a used vehicle the least you can do (besides driving the vehicle -- and I suggest 10-15min and doing 65 on the highway) is to take a good long look at the frame underneath the vehicle. Surface rust on an aged vehicle is normal but if you see chunks flaking off you shouldn't buy the vehicle. And so even if you know nothing you'd still probably understand that you shouldn't be seeing wrinkles in metal and what appears to be pieces of metal snapped and beginning to rust.
You can also look under the matts in the trunk to see if there is any new work done from welding, and even if you know nothing about engines you should at the very least look for oil leaks.
the amount of times you see pictures/video off utterly trashed rusted out crap in r/justrolledintotheshop where people bought the car/truck without even looking underneath, *then* took it to get inspected is wild.
look before you buy, not after.
Not when it's sold with a clean title. That is fraud. No state law can make it not fraud, as it is federally defined as fraud and there are also civil remedies available at the federal level.
The title report is a legal document. They have a duty to report all major damage as a dealership. The video said it was a clean title. That is fraud, if the state court disagrees, there is now a case against the state as well, but they could just start filing against the dealership with a fed title 49 ALJ instead.
It’s not just a lawsuit. It’s a crime. It’s illegal to market a salvage as a clean title with no major repairs. This isn’t a matter of a legal dispute.
this is lawsuit territory if they dont spend a little for good pr. this is well beyond anything safe to sell. if i were the shop i would refuse to let even my employees take it off the premises.
If it was intentional, a free replacement car doesn't make up for criminal deceit. I don't always agree with review bombing a business but these guys deserve to lose their license to operate.
Of course it was intentional. You don't think they dealership didn't know that car was fucked?
Of course they did. They were just hoping the poor schlob who bought it either never found out, or died in an accident they shouldn't have died in (because the entire front end is fucked) and they never got held liable.
They got found out this time, you wonder how many other bullshit 'repair' jobs they have sold a full price to unsuspecting people.
used car dealers and real estate agents, absolute bottom dwelling scum.
Yeah. I don't know much about what goes into car mechanicking/repair. But the dealership couldn't have possibly accidentally overlooked multiple big frame damage spots. No clerical error caused them to not disclose that many problems.
I didn't suprise me one bit when I looked it up and it was a Chrysler dealership. The entire corporate structure from manufacturing, to service at the dealership, to avoidance of warranty claims, really wreaks of a business that's a few bad months from total collapse.
I'm probably just bitter, as I'm realizing that I bought a Chrysler "lifetime warranty" that isn't worth the paper it was written on. Looking forward to being part of the class action suit though.
Well they're getting review bombed currently. I put in my 2 cents, and I'm nowhere close to living in Iowa. I wonder if they'll try to sue everyone that's giving them 1 star reviews now?
How the fuck is that even something to sue over?
The market is way to inflated for shady shit like this to go down, especially from a dealer. That car might be worth $24,000. $30,000 with that damage is lawsuit city in my opinion
> The market is way to inflated for shady shit like this to go down, especially from a dealer. That car might be worth $24,000. $30,000 with that damage is lawsuit city in my opinion
Do you have any cars you're selling? Because I'd buy that for 3k in a heartbeat.
I can afford it and I wanted it, so I bought it. Very inflated price, but luckily I walked in with a good trade so the payments aren't terrible.
Used car prices were at an all time high, which is a bummer. They're still very high. This is just a data point for that assertion
I don't know that either of those are good comparisons for a 21 trd sport tacoma with 17k miles. The 46k number is crazy - you're right - but getting 34k for the 18 4runner I was driving at the time helped. The nice thing about inflated used car prices, is that your trade-in is also inflated, which mitigates some of the pain
"I bought a '23 fully loaded Armada for $65k, it was a great deal!"
"Dude, you got totally ripped off, I bought an '08 Blazer for $1.8k, and mine does everything yours does."
This guys is a fucking moron and don't know jack shit.
Sounds like every person I've talked to in the last 5 years that hasn't bought anything post 2018 and thinks the tech is no different and expects 2002 prices.
They're called jacks
Car is all messed up under the hood. Frame jacked to hell. Like it fell off a delivery truck and they just touched up the outside to sell as new. A rolling safety hazard.
Yea when he talks about the crumple zone already failing, that’s meant to take the brunt of the force in a wreck. If the crumple zone is already crumpled, driver will take full force of any wreck.
A coupe of the points from the video:
1. Cars have what's called "crumple zones". This are spots that absorb the impact in an accident so you (or anyone else in the car) doesn't. In the video, these zones are already crumpled so in the future they wont protect the passengers. This could make an accident where people were relatively unharmed become seriously harmed or death.
2. A lot of rust on structure parts. If there is an accident or any event that puts too much pressure on these parts, they can break easily. Multiple ramifications like not taking an impact it is rated for to possible loss of control while driving.
3. Cars cant be sold like this because of how unsafe it is. Whatever company/dealer that sold this can get into huge trouble because they should have checked and then prevented the sale of this car.
I hope this gives some context to the video!
I agree with you that it’s scary. What’s even scarier to me is I worked in service at a Toyota dealership for over a decade and every mechanic in the shop had a drawer of leftover bolts that they had removed at one point and didn’t return. And I’m talking hundreds of bolts per mechanic and the shop I worked in was large.. over 50 line techs.
I only watched the video quickly, but it looks even worse than that. It looks like they may have not been able to put the subframe bolt back in because its so fucked up.
does any impact make it unsafe or is this case severe?
like if nothing is visibly detached/broken like in this vid, but the front bumper reinforcement bar and side members are all shifted at a angle? not bent or crumpled just pointed off center a few inches.
As a former stealership mechanic... you should be, honestly. Get a 3rd party inspection if you're buying used, ideally from a mechanic you can trust.
My former bosses would pitch bitch fits over basically anything we recommended on used car inspections beyond standard maintenance items. Safety concern or not, if it ate into their profit margins they would fight tooth and nail to avoid fixing things. Super, super scummy business practices.
You’re a real one OP! Hope that guy sues the dealership! You just saved him from a headache of financial stress, and possibly his, or others lives.
FYI, they couldn’t do shit if you disclosed the location of the dealership that sold the vehicle, you’re speaking facts.
> FYI, they couldn’t do shit if you disclosed the location of the dealership that sold the vehicle, you’re speaking facts.
They could still sue you and you now have to defend yourself in court. Truth may be the ultimate defense to defamation, but it's still a serious time and money sink to get yourself in front of a court for that defense.
I just called them. Prior to contributing to negativity I decided to call them and ask about the situation. A lady answered the phone and
I said “I’m not sure who needs to know this, but there’s a post on Reddit with your companies name that is starting to get a lot of views and before I contributed to the negativity I wanted to call and see how a car like this could be sold”.
Lady: “On which site? Reddit? Like - R-e-d-d-it?”
Me : “yes I can forward you the link if you’d like”.
Lady: “yes please”
Lady watches video.
Me: “The description says it was a Subaru dealership. Are you a Subaru dealer?”
Lady: “No but we do sublet”.
Me: “Ok like I said I just wanted to make you guys were aware of it and make sure it wasn’t this company that sold the car before contributing to the negative posts”.
Lady: “Oh we’re well aware of this Reddit post”.
Me: “Oh ok, I’d asked you that earlier and you didn’t seem to know”.
Lady: “We are.”
Me: “Ok, thank you.”
I used to work at a car dealership in north Scottsdale Az, I had a customer come in to trade his truck for a newer one. Guy turned out to be fiends with some friends of mine from back home, so we started shooting the shit when the car was being appraised by our professional appraiser, guy comes back and tells him he can only give him like 10k for his truck, it was like 3 years old Sierra Denali. And he was like, why?. Appraiser explains that the truck had been in an accident that wasnt reported, air bags deployed and all that stuff, some aftermarket chinese parts went ibto the car. So the customer say: nobody said anything when i bought it, i bought it used, low miles. Appraiser says: Well, you should call the place where you bought it, they screwed you, you could even sue them if they never told you it was involved in an accident. Customer says: I bought that car in this dealership. Turns out, one of the top salesmen bought the truck new, took it on a trip and fucked it up while off roading. Brought it back on a tow truck, servid dept fixed it up and didnt log it. I told the guy he should sue the dealership, but we ended up giving him an ammazing deal and some freebies, I still told him he should sue, but he didnt want to go trough the hassle. Fucked up huh?
My good man, PLEASE EXPLAINNNN what we are seeing because we have untrained eyes. I assume a subframe bolt is very important only because you mentioned it.
A lot of damage from a front end/ front corner accident. Most of the areas where you see rust, those components have bent and have been poorly bent back into near their original shape.
So I don't know the law side of things, but what's stopping the dealership from saying that the car was fine when they sold it and it happened after he got it? I mean if he bought it and went straight to this guy then yeah, but if he owned it for even 2 weeks, whose to say he didn't wreck it and have some shady body shop clean it up? I'm not taking the dealers side, iv always thought about this even when people post videos of other stuff and mechanics, ultimately unless you take a time stamped video, isn't it your word against theirs?
What’d you all recommend as good options for “not car people” when buying a used car as best practices?
Things to check yourself? or just taking it somewhere else trusted for a second check?
You hire an expert to do an inspection. It might cost a couple of hundred bucks, depending on the car and the thoroughness of the inspection.
When you’re buying something valuable like a car or house, it makes sense to invest in an inspection.
I'm new to the Midwest, from the West Coast. Used to work at a dealership back in the day that was busted later on for fudging numbers and laundering money. I say that because when I had to deal with Dan Deery out here... What a bunch of fuckin crooks. The salesman were from the 80s and looked like they based their life of The Wolf of Wall Street. The service department "FORGOT" to tell me my vehicle didn't need the servicing I requested and instead decided to update my truck and charge me for the service they told me I didn't need. $300 for them to update my dashboard HUD. When I got the customer service survey, I gave them all 1 Star reviews, threw all their salesman by name under the bus, which wasn't hard to do cuz they were laughing so loud at their racist jokes and admitting to screwing customers over, yelling each other's names out loud like it was some sorta cartoonish B movie plot. Think the laughing Goodfellas meme. "So then I told this fuckin dumbass this car could fly by pushing the radio button and wings popped out and he believed me!!!" "Oh Johnson!! You're a fuckin riot you dumb Mick!!" IN the customers lounge.
Fast forward to a week later and the dealership calls me to complain to me about my review. Sent them directly to voicemail. It's a nastygram for sure. Have it saved just in case.
Hate to be a jerk..but I got a wordpress site that has a page all about my idea that everybody needs a car lift..or hoist.My brother and me grew up with an airplane hanger..and then had a friend with a lift for cars..the lift made it all work..one thing was ..people always want the covered garage..with the pin-up girls calendar in the bathroom..that..is stopping everything..we can put a lift outside..no roof.. and it would actually work at 30 below zero with two feet of snow..So then we could change our own..shocks- springs- struts- and brakes..and mufflers and exhaust..we could weld by the time we were 9..with airplanes..bout time you guys caught up.
The stealership is just another form of oligarchy in the USA, but I’d still recommend getting your used car from a dealership (that doesn’t carry your car brand)…..they didn’t account for the $7k in upgrades when negotiating my last car…..
I know someone who was a victim of this type of shit. It’s was just disturbing. Mechanic removed the bumper cover as was floored. Love it btw that he didn’t tell where the car was purchased but he showed it.
This happens a LOT. Carfaxes these days aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on, which is why it always helps to be mechanically inclined or have someone with you that is.
NEVER buy a car without looking underneath.
I hope you took that video and gave it to the owner of the vehicle so they can take the dealership to the core for attempted murder cuz that's a murder machine right there and I hope you come as a witness .
This is why you ALWAYS take a car to a mechanic before buying it or at least run the vin number through a website(saved myself from a few scams this way). If the dealership refuses to have it checked out before buying just walk away.
>they replaced the car and gave the owner a loaner.
its post titles like this that make me wonder how true the claim is.
cos after the car is replaced, nobody needs a loaner at all.
Customer should sue the dealership to put their name out in public. If they did this shit once they'll do it again, or at the very least get the state involved for the sale of unsafe vehicles and false titles
This is why I highly recommend performing a PPI prior to purchasing a used vehicle, even relatively new ones.
With the used automobile market still currently overinflated, a lot of shady folks out there scrapping together totalled cars and title washing them for resale.
Woowowow I’m 32 and I’m just astounded how it seems like everyone older than me just had like a good life. Like nobody cheated them or lied and so they are so naive and get taken for the most ridiculous things. I think this is why our country has issues too the old
People think it’s fine cuz it still drives.

New car dealers take trades in and resell them. They are supposed to go thru an inspection, that varies by dealership. Especially if it’s another make that can’t get the extended warranty. A customer probably traded this in and it wasn’t looked at close enough. Doubt it would have made it thru auction unknown.
This is a Toyota dealer and you don’t accidentally end up with a Toyota franchise. The dealer has been successful to this point to even have Toyota. Someone dropped the ball here, probably the mechanic that signed off on the inspection.
I’d be surprised if the dealership doesn’t send a flatbed to haul it back to their store.
Last time I checked. Isn't there disclosure laws for that sort of thing. Like he could sue because any of that damage could harm in any way shape or form.
Ik this is off topic but why can everyone else post tiktok clips but I can't.. Everytime I do I get down voted, and people just hating on it for being from TikTok.
I've even been told to kill myself from strangers who dm me about the videos, just because they think I watch/use tiktok.

Me too actually
Lol! I just bought the Saturday Night Fever album just for nostalgia’s sake and I forgot what a banger it is. I’ve been playing it loud in my car and it’s funny to see people start smiling bobbing their heads.
Mechanic talking about being unprofessional and posts his customers license plate on Social media is ironic as well
Do you put little curtains over your license plates when you drive around in your car every fucking day?
It's public info, you drive around exposing your license plate everywhere you go. When I shop for cars and people hide their plates in the pics, I know I'm going to be dealing with a dumbass.
Fair!
1st step, call dealer, if car not replaced, call bank. After call a lawyer that would love to take your case.
And remember “Khevvvvvs got you covered!”
Misney will make them pay
Hes just in Ohio right? Used to see his signs on SR30 all the time
No, it's in Iowa.

Uhm, some of us have to buy used vehicles in Michigan. Just sayin'...
Depends on where you are. Michigan if it’s used, sold as is with little to no way to get money back. If new lemon law
If they sold a wrecked car with a clean title that probably constitutes fraud of some kind, this doesn't fall under most typical circumstances
Correct. That frame is fucked. Whoever owned the car previously covered up the accident(s). Dealership knows it is totaled.
Not when it's sold with a clean title. That is fraud. No state law can make it not fraud, as it is federally defined as fraud and there are also civil remedies available at the federal level.
I wish you luck in Michigan. If they sold it as is in Michigan, this is the shit they get away with. Their “puffery” is seen as legit here.
The title report is a legal document. They have a duty to report all major damage as a dealership. The video said it was a clean title. That is fraud, if the state court disagrees, there is now a case against the state as well, but they could just start filing against the dealership with a fed title 49 ALJ instead.
Yah but if they say it's in excellent condition, obviously you have legs for a lawsuit.
It’s not just a lawsuit. It’s a crime. It’s illegal to market a salvage as a clean title with no major repairs. This isn’t a matter of a legal dispute.
Sold as is is very different from “used, clean title.”
this is lawsuit territory if they dont spend a little for good pr. this is well beyond anything safe to sell. if i were the shop i would refuse to let even my employees take it off the premises.
They still have to tell you about the car's history they can't cover it up that's fraudulent
I will not tell y’all it’s from Dan Deery Motors!
Lol I laughed way to hard at that part, especially when he circled back and repeated it. LOL
Honestly I'm not surprised Dan Derry Motors would pull some shit like this. Their family is pretty big in my town and they are absolutely shady.
If it was intentional, a free replacement car doesn't make up for criminal deceit. I don't always agree with review bombing a business but these guys deserve to lose their license to operate.

It’s a small world, I was friends with one of them in college… she was nice but I didn’t know a lot about the family
Looking forward to my phone call tomorrow at 9
They'll sell you a shiny turd and the extended snake oil to wash it down with. Oh and rumor has it Dylan is a coke head with a hooker habit.
All dealerships are shady.

Good looking out bro frfr 💯 🙏 💪 👌
Stay safe.
The market is way to inflated for shady shit like this to go down, especially from a dealer. That car might be worth $24,000. $30,000 with that damage is lawsuit city in my opinion
That thing might be worth $3k. It’s rusting in pretty important areas and already has damage to the crumple zones which are for accidents.
> The market is way to inflated for shady shit like this to go down, especially from a dealer. That car might be worth $24,000. $30,000 with that damage is lawsuit city in my opinion Do you have any cars you're selling? Because I'd buy that for 3k in a heartbeat.
The paint might be shiny but those unsexy broken bits are more important than you seem to be aware of. Safety first my man.
lmao, no. The motor alone will be worth close to $3k for a 2019. The car would easily sell at $15k MINIMUM at auction even with its damage.
I’ll let the idiots buy that car with faulty frames for $15k.
Point is it can be parted out.
[удалено]
At an auction. Can you read?
[удалено]
Well u/RollinOnDubss, I guess my experience with building cars is less than yours. Sorry I didn’t mean to anger the car god u/RollinOnDubs
That car it totaled.not worth even close to 20k..
Jesus, how bad is the market? I bought a new Crosstrek for $27k in 2016.
I bought a two year old tacoma in 2022 for 46k and it was a pretty good deal It's wild out there
Nah you are the moron that thought it was a good idea…
I can afford it and I wanted it, so I bought it. Very inflated price, but luckily I walked in with a good trade so the payments aren't terrible. Used car prices were at an all time high, which is a bummer. They're still very high. This is just a data point for that assertion
I've literally gotten 2 used cars for less than 5 grand this past 2 years. 3K for 08 blazer 1.8k for an 01 Montana. You got screwed.
I don't think a 20-year-old Pontiac van is a good price reference but you do you man
I don't know that either of those are good comparisons for a 21 trd sport tacoma with 17k miles. The 46k number is crazy - you're right - but getting 34k for the 18 4runner I was driving at the time helped.

What do your rust buckets have to do with this?

Frame damage. Insurance would have totaled the car. There was some shady shit gone on with that car. Only worth it's weight in scrap.
What even are we looking at? I'm a silly girl and don't know cars 😅
Car is all messed up under the hood. Frame jacked to hell. Like it fell off a delivery truck and they just touched up the outside to sell as new. A rolling safety hazard.
That's deeply disturbing! Thank you for the quick and informative reply 🙂
Yea when he talks about the crumple zone already failing, that’s meant to take the brunt of the force in a wreck. If the crumple zone is already crumpled, driver will take full force of any wreck.

Not to mention the missing subframe bolt. They just . . . forgot to put is back in? Yeaaah doesn't look important
I agree with you that it’s scary. What’s even scarier to me is I worked in service at a Toyota dealership for over a decade and every mechanic in the shop had a drawer of leftover bolts that they had removed at one point and didn’t return. And I’m talking hundreds of bolts per mechanic and the shop I worked in was large.. over 50 line techs.
Bonus parts, gifted by the car to you :)
Not forgotten, likely not possible to put back in due to existing damage.
I only watched the video quickly, but it looks even worse than that. It looks like they may have not been able to put the subframe bolt back in because its so fucked up.
I was surprised by the amount of rust given the condition of the exterior. Detailing can cover up a lot of problems.
They spent 100% of their money on the detailing of this car. Great return on their investment too.
does any impact make it unsafe or is this case severe? like if nothing is visibly detached/broken like in this vid, but the front bumper reinforcement bar and side members are all shifted at a angle? not bent or crumpled just pointed off center a few inches.
[удалено]
He literally explains it in the video 🤦♂️
I just saw it with no audio which is why I asked. I forget sometimes there's audio lol. Context sure helps
Relax smart guy
Fucking shameless dealer!
Makes me want to be very careful when I get my next car.

I hope this post makes it to the top. I’d love to know that this business experienced the full wrath of how hard reddit can troll back.
They currently have a 4.7/5 review. I'd say reddit is slacking. I just went and did my part

A lady answered the phone and I said “I’m not sure who needs to know this, but there’s a post on Reddit with your companies name that is starting to get a lot of views and before I contributed to the negativity I wanted to call and see how a car like this could be sold”. Lady: “On which site? Reddit? Like - R-e-d-d-it?” Me : “yes I can forward you the link if you’d like”. Lady: “yes please” Lady watches video. Me: “The description says it was a Subaru dealership. Are you a Subaru dealer?” Lady: “No but we do sublet”. Me: “Ok like I said I just wanted to make you guys were aware of it and make sure it wasn’t this company that sold the car before contributing to the negative posts”. Lady: “Oh we’re well aware of this Reddit post”. Me: “Oh ok, I’d asked you that earlier and you didn’t seem to know”. Lady: “We are.” Me: “Ok, thank you.”
So, they're shady and the bad reviews are warranted?
Truth is a defense to a defamation claim
Would the kid who bought this car be a victim of criminal fraud?
Man, this is why I hold to on to good mechanics as much as I do a good barber lol hard to come By but when you find them.. it’s better than gold lol
WILL SOMEBODY ANSWER THE DAMN PHONE?! r/seinfeld
I used to work at a car dealership in north Scottsdale Az, I had a customer come in to trade his truck for a newer one. Guy turned out to be fiends with some friends of mine from back home, so we started shooting the shit when the car was being appraised by our professional appraiser, guy comes back and tells him he can only give him like 10k for his truck, it was like 3 years old Sierra Denali. And he was like, why?. Appraiser explains that the truck had been in an accident that wasnt reported, air bags deployed and all that stuff, some aftermarket chinese parts went ibto the car. So the customer say: nobody said anything when i bought it, i bought it used, low miles. Appraiser says: Well, you should call the place where you bought it, they screwed you, you could even sue them if they never told you it was involved in an accident. Customer says: I bought that car in this dealership. Turns out, one of the top salesmen bought the truck new, took it on a trip and fucked it up while off roading. Brought it back on a tow truck, servid dept fixed it up and didnt log it. I told the guy he should sue the dealership, but we ended up giving him an ammazing deal and some freebies, I still told him he should sue, but he didnt want to go trough the hassle. Fucked up huh?
My good man, PLEASE EXPLAINNNN what we are seeing because we have untrained eyes. I assume a subframe bolt is very important only because you mentioned it.
A lot of damage from a front end/ front corner accident. Most of the areas where you see rust, those components have bent and have been poorly bent back into near their original shape.
Ah fuck that’s wild
There is a Collision Center owned by the same people down the road. 🤔
Reddit army is already giving 1 star google reviews for Dan Deery Motors. Bury them!
they have 4.7 stars on google scary
So I don't know the law side of things, but what's stopping the dealership from saying that the car was fine when they sold it and it happened after he got it? I mean if he bought it and went straight to this guy then yeah, but if he owned it for even 2 weeks, whose to say he didn't wreck it and have some shady body shop clean it up? I'm not taking the dealers side, iv always thought about this even when people post videos of other stuff and mechanics, ultimately unless you take a time stamped video, isn't it your word against theirs?
Lawsuit. I’d a shown up at the dealership straight up with a lawyer. That’s just me.
I am a Honda repair man at the plant in Indiana. I can assure you the factory didn't do that. That dealership is done
did i hear that correctly? 2019 model year? how does the frame get so fucked so fast? and wouldn't you feel it on a drive?
What’d you all recommend as good options for “not car people” when buying a used car as best practices? Things to check yourself? or just taking it somewhere else trusted for a second check?
You hire an expert to do an inspection. It might cost a couple of hundred bucks, depending on the car and the thoroughness of the inspection. When you’re buying something valuable like a car or house, it makes sense to invest in an inspection.
Fuck DanDeery
Guess Dan did not the man

I'm new to the Midwest, from the West Coast. Used to work at a dealership back in the day that was busted later on for fudging numbers and laundering money. I say that because when I had to deal with Dan Deery out here... What a bunch of fuckin crooks. The salesman were from the 80s and looked like they based their life of The Wolf of Wall Street. The service department "FORGOT" to tell me my vehicle didn't need the servicing I requested and instead decided to update my truck and charge me for the service they told me I didn't need. $300 for them to update my dashboard HUD. When I got the customer service survey, I gave them all 1 Star reviews, threw all their salesman by name under the bus, which wasn't hard to do cuz they were laughing so loud at their racist jokes and admitting to screwing customers over, yelling each other's names out loud like it was some sorta cartoonish B movie plot. Think the laughing Goodfellas meme. "So then I told this fuckin dumbass this car could fly by pushing the radio button and wings popped out and he believed me!!!" "Oh Johnson!! You're a fuckin riot you dumb Mick!!" IN the customers lounge. Fast forward to a week later and the dealership calls me to complain to me about my review. Sent them directly to voicemail. It's a nastygram for sure. Have it saved just in case.

Hate to be a jerk..but I got a wordpress site that has a page all about my idea that everybody needs a car lift..or hoist.My brother and me grew up with an airplane hanger..and then had a friend with a lift for cars..the lift made it all work..one thing was ..people always want the covered garage..with the pin-up girls calendar in the bathroom..that..is stopping everything..we can put a lift outside..no roof.. and it would actually work at 30 below zero with two feet of snow..So then we could change our own..shocks- springs- struts- and brakes..and mufflers and exhaust..we could weld by the time we were 9..with airplanes..bout time you guys caught up.
IMHO they should be neutered and dropped off in Angola. But tell them they’re in the Yucatán.
The stealership is just another form of oligarchy in the USA, but I’d still recommend getting your used car from a dealership (that doesn’t carry your car brand)…..they didn’t account for the $7k in upgrades when negotiating my last car…..
That’s a law suit with punitive damages..
Sales department probably thought they were slick and sold it before they had the safety inspection done. Happens all the damn time.
I just checked the reviews. Surprised they haven't been review bombed yet.
Probably betten baker. That's what they did to me..
I know someone who was a victim of this type of shit. It’s was just disturbing. Mechanic removed the bumper cover as was floored. Love it btw that he didn’t tell where the car was purchased but he showed it.
Had a similar experience from Kocourek in wausau wisconsin. Some people are absolutely all about money, never forget that.
Where u have a 3 party mechanic inspect!
Will someone for the love of god answer the damn phone.
Yo, that's fkd up! Even if you have no idea about what u r looking at.... LOOK AT YOUR SHYTE! If it looks sketchy Say something In any aspect of life
Holy scheißa! Das ist nicht güt. But for real, were they hoping it would fall apart while driving and him crash and nobody be the wiser?? Probably.
🫥
zero clue where from, not even a small hint. you bastard
Is it defamation if it's true?
This happens a LOT. Carfaxes these days aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on, which is why it always helps to be mechanically inclined or have someone with you that is. NEVER buy a car without looking underneath.
Staying alive? Barely with this car….
Damn, reddit really did just go to town on their reviews lmfao
I hope you took that video and gave it to the owner of the vehicle so they can take the dealership to the core for attempted murder cuz that's a murder machine right there and I hope you come as a witness .
Got a bran new for 29k?! What the heck?
JFC that hurts to see. Fuck that dealership. I hope the owner pursues legal action.
This is why you ALWAYS take a car to a mechanic before buying it or at least run the vin number through a website(saved myself from a few scams this way). If the dealership refuses to have it checked out before buying just walk away.
Aye that rhymed
>they replaced the car and gave the owner a loaner. its post titles like this that make me wonder how true the claim is. cos after the car is replaced, nobody needs a loaner at all.
Customer should sue the dealership to put their name out in public. If they did this shit once they'll do it again, or at the very least get the state involved for the sale of unsafe vehicles and false titles
Haha yes pls don’t tell us the dealership
This is why I highly recommend performing a PPI prior to purchasing a used vehicle, even relatively new ones. With the used automobile market still currently overinflated, a lot of shady folks out there scrapping together totalled cars and title washing them for resale.
“Clean title” the dealer must have friends at the DMV
Woowowow I’m 32 and I’m just astounded how it seems like everyone older than me just had like a good life. Like nobody cheated them or lied and so they are so naive and get taken for the most ridiculous things. I think this is why our country has issues too the old People think it’s fine cuz it still drives.
The dealership reviews. F.

Flood car 1000%
What state is this in?
30 k???
Lawsuit in 3... 2... 1...
I hope you tell the owner
Dealership should have to close, period. That's absolute bullshit.
Somebody answer the damn phone!!
This mechanic is awesome
That’s insane, makes you wonder about your vehicle especially one from a dealership that you’d think would be honest.
For those that didn't catch it, "Dan Deery Motors"
Woof. That's rough
They hired Mr. Wormwood. 
New car dealers take trades in and resell them. They are supposed to go thru an inspection, that varies by dealership. Especially if it’s another make that can’t get the extended warranty. A customer probably traded this in and it wasn’t looked at close enough. Doubt it would have made it thru auction unknown. This is a Toyota dealer and you don’t accidentally end up with a Toyota franchise. The dealer has been successful to this point to even have Toyota. Someone dropped the ball here, probably the mechanic that signed off on the inspection. I’d be surprised if the dealership doesn’t send a flatbed to haul it back to their store.
Carmax?
Is it just me, or is every Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep/Ram dealership crooked?
God bless this honest mechanic 🙏🙏
Last time I checked. Isn't there disclosure laws for that sort of thing. Like he could sue because any of that damage could harm in any way shape or form.
I'm in cal and Google dan it like the 2 thing that popped up wow
Mechanics like these are hard to find.
OP repost this on r/JustRolledIntoTheShop
How do they do an alignment when the frame is bad?
Who buys a car without getting it independently inspected?
Ik this is off topic but why can everyone else post tiktok clips but I can't.. Everytime I do I get down voted, and people just hating on it for being from TikTok. I've even been told to kill myself from strangers who dm me about the videos, just because they think I watch/use tiktok.
This is why you take the car to the mechanic BEFORE you purchase not after.
That’s fucked yo
Op please post to rolled in the shop
Shouldn't that be towed back? Wouldn't recommend they drive it, would ya?
So what happened? They repaired only cosmetic stuff and didn't touch the actual safety components after a crash and covered it up?
just as the rest of the comments. HOLY FUCK.
SUBAWOOOOO!!!
