I remember seeing that F50 at Algar a week before it was stolen. A friend had a Mondial at the time and needed a ride from the dealership. Blew my mind seeing the F50. Then to hear it about it being stolen and the story of how was wild. And then where it ended up, how it was found, wrecked by an agent, the insurance nonsense, couldn’t be scripted any better. It ended up being sold a few years back by Symbolic ( now O’Gara) in LaJolla. Def worth the time to read about on F-chat.

Let me tell you, I’m a real attorney and some time ago, I went to a local dealer to buy a car. I gave them a check and to my surprise they wouldn’t release the car until the check cleared, which was the next day or two days later. I had no problem with that, I was glad they cared about everything being legit. Then I had a different situation when I went to a local dealer, I didn’t even had my checkbook with me, it was late right before they closed for a day and the dealer almost forced me to take the car on my signature only. I refused to do that, but there are still both types of dealers out there. Yet another time, the dealer let his employee drive me to my house, so I could take my checkbook and pay them. I got possession of the car immediately after that.

Where I live; sportbike riders stay out late to avoid traffic. I rode home on a Monday night @ well above 140 mph and got home around 2am. I walked outside to drive my car to work at 6:40am and my bike had been stolen. That was a 14 years ago but, I know no one followed me home because I was going too fast. I must conclude a local thief stole my bike.

I learned at the ripe age of 19 that once a shop gets a hold of your car ITS THEIRS until you pay any amount they say you owe them. It was a Pantera and probably before I was a mile away they had already stripped the engine and trans. LS short they blocked it behind a dozen other cars and claimed I owed then X amount for the services done to the eng/trans. After 3 months I had to cough up the cash, towed it away and sure enough the engine was not the original and locked up and the trans was in pieces. Took it to court, he filed bankruptcy and put the new name in his wife's name. Eventually my lawyer said he could not pursue the case without being paid upfront. Expensive lesson but if someone is a straight up con and lier and knows the way courts work not much you can do.

Had no idea all these particular exams existed. I've not been burned only because I haven''t been in the market for these types of cars. The most interesting scam/non-scams I've seen is that when a new hot car is out for the first time. The dealer markup starts to happen. Relevant because I'm trying to figure out what to do regarding the C8, since my closest dealer already has informed me prior to telling me the price that he's going to require and over-sticker sales price. The C8. I've also seen the videos in which those who are knowledgeable are saying that Chevrolet wants the cars sold for sticker, but of course cannot control what the independent dealers decide to do. In some sense, the market causes people to scam themselves by telling themselves they want these cars and are willing to pay the "premium." Last comment is look what happened with the rather scarce Porsche 911R's for a while. People got the cars somehow and two or three internet sales of the new car for a price of over a million dollars. The explanations justifying not only the practice, but the fact that cars moved for this money were the sort of justifications people always make, in particular, rarity; it won't go down because this is the last car like this, etc. Of course as time went on a large number of offerings of attractive cars became available and some of the money that might have purchased the 911R was instead going elsewhere. In the end, buying and selling or flipping is extremely tricky, perhaps very much in the way that flipping certain Rolex's is or are a tircky proposition.

I emailed Amazon and they were clear that they DO NOT DO ESCROWS! I told the seller I already had an Amazon account that we could use. I never heard from them again. I even made a video about it.

Years ago I was on craigslist looking at cars and found a red 90's supra for $10k. It had a ton of pics, the guy emailed me copies of all the documentation, and wrote well written emails. I then noticed those exact same pics and car on another car selling website but with a slightly different description and price. I emailed back the guy to warn him that I think someone stole his pics from craigslist and was trying to pretend to sell his car. He skirted the email and just continued asking if I wanted more documentation about the car. That's when I realized this might be a scam. I then mentioned to him that (at the time) my dad was an active special agent for the department of justice, I ran this by him, and he said it looks like a scam. The seller then completely changed his tune and wrote me an email to the affect of "oh so you're going to run to your daddy over a car?". At that point I just responded that I don't need to since his last response in a documented and traceable email was a good enough indicator of guilt to pass on to my dad's office. A few days later I noticed all the websites that car was posted for sale on had been taken down. Hopefully it saved someone from getting scammed.

GOMotors... I've stumbled on many "too good to be true" Porsche deals ads from those guys some weeks ago - This was too obvious, great cars for almost nothing... :-/

One of the dealers at the dealership I used to work at, did a trade for a couple year-old EVO X that someone brought in, and the dealer didn't let any of the mechanics check it out first, and he didn't even take it to the Mitsubishi dealership to be checked either (we were a Ford dealership) and the guy wanted a trade-in for a brand new 2013 Mustang GT. After the guy left with his new mustang, the dealer finally decided to let the mechanics check it out, and as soon as we started it we knew the engine was blown. Turns out, the guy blew his engine and Mitsubishi wouldn't cover it because he told them it happened at the track (idiot) so he brought it to the Ford dealership to try and scam us. And it worked. The engine was going to cost like $20k to get a new one and have it installed, so the dealer just ended up selling the car back to Mitsubishi. The guy basically traded in a $10k car for a $35k car and got away with it. Still blows my mind that a dealer wouldn't know what a blown engine sounds like.
