A woman says a car seller deceived her in driving two hours away.
It was not supposed to be a simple car shopping journey that quickly turned into an exhausting ordeal. Were you dealt with it in the same way?
In a video clip containing more than 37,000 views, Emily’s family content@emgillyy) The nightmare experience describes with a car seller.
“The time for a story why I wanted to put my hand on the neck of the auto seller this week,” Emily begins.
In the video, Emily explains that she was 39 weeks pregnant, but she wanted to secure a certain car that was only available in an agency two hours away.
On Saturday morning, she says she called forward to make sure the car is available.
“No, it has been sold,” and according to what they reported.
But she had previously happened to her and knew that the people you call are not always in the agency, so their information may not be accurate. So I once again contacted the double, and they said the same.
Twenty minutes later, I received a call from a seller: The car was still already present.
I thought, and started downloading her youngsters in the car for two hours in front of her to reach the agency.
Then the calls started. Emily remembers receiving seven calls from seven different sellers, all trying to transfer them to the agency. Emily called one of them to confirm before the car left, in fact, it will be there. She says she did not want to make the motivation to no avail, and assured her that she was there and ready to exceed a lot.
A problem with the agency
After two hours, Emily and her family (including her husband) arrived at the agency and knew immediately that something had ended.
“He pulled us to the office, the first red flag. I knew immediately what was happening,” she says.
When I asked where the car was, the seller answered, “Are you sure that you were appointed to that?”
She says he revealed the sale of the car, “but we have one like it for another $ 25,000.”
“I looked at my husband and said,” I will explode a summit. I need to excuse myself. ”So I went out to cool.
Her husband faced the seller inside, and asks why they were not told that the car had disappeared soon. The seller claimed that they were already on their way, so it doesn’t seem worth another call.
While Emily and her husband were smoking, she had to keep her together in front of their young children. They seem to be rewarded for restraint.
After driving two minutes on the road, Emily says they monitored the car they wanted at the limits of its budget.
She says, “It was similar to God rewarding us for not losing in the agency.”
The numbers have succeeded, and finally they traveled home in the car.
Covering sales tactic
People were angry on behalf of Emily.
“Spread a review on that agency, believe, not believe or not (some),” suggest a higher comment.
A person said: “They never had the car. They just wanted to sell the other car.”
“This is certainly not sold quickly. These people in the financial office take 8 hours,” another indicated.
Emily’s last car shopping experience highlights a common problem in the automotive industry: bait and switch tactics, as the auto agent falsely announces a vehicle to attract buyers, then click on it to buy a car with a higher price, Lawinfo Reports.
the Ruling on the cars of the Federal Trade CommitteeAnd that entered into force in July 2024, enhances protection for car buyers, prohibiting the distortions of prices, financing or the availability of the car.
Traders also require a clear disclosure of the offer, total payments, and any optional additions.
Signs of fraud and switch include:
- Price ads that look very good are incredible
- Traders refuse to show the advertised car
- Excuses for lack of availability
- Click to buy additional or unnecessary guarantees
- Surprising changes in financing conditions
How to protect yourself:
- Read the fine printing on ads and verify the availability of the car
- Get the offers in writing
- Understand the total price outside the door, including all the fees
- Get away if there is an error
