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.

I would not sell any high end car AND let it leave the lot until the checks were verified and cleared, OR the money was transferred into the dealer account and fully verified as legit. I can't imagine letting an expensive product leaving the lot without guaranteeing the payment first. That sounds like a terrible business practice.

I own a landscaping business in Florida and I’ve had employees and business pals that have scammed me out of much more. Not that I’m proud of that but obviously I’ve been taken advantage of because of my good nature and it doesn’t feel good when it happens.

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.

This was around 2003 or 04: I had a 95 Kawasaki sport bike and I'd put an exhaust & jet kit on it. The bike was flawless and it ran great. 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.

Since you could not reach any "customer service" to verify I just closed the account and good riddance. Already reached the conclusion the notifications were bogus but no one to talk to about it. At least at that time.

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.

One of the things pop culture won't teach you is that a good salesman is honest and trustworthy. Getting a customer in the door for the first time usually costs money, repeat customers are free. And the best advertising is word of mouth, so every happy customer is a salesman for you. Honesty is the only strategy that's sustainable.

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.

Over here (Netherlands) it happens, but rarely. First of all, we don't deal with cheques. Car business is cash or bank transfers where and exchange of registration papers have to be done in an official way. What happens is that pro car thieves steal your car where it will end up in the eastern part of Europe, getting other registration docs and will, later on, be sold through auction houses.

I almost fell for a scame like the first one on a classic chevy. They said the car was stored in Bremerton WA on a military holding facility while they were deployed (the army does do that). Long story short they said put the money in an Amazon escrow account until it was delivered. I agreed but my red flag went up when they said they would send me a link. 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. If it is OK with you I will put the link in the reply section below.

That was their law firm. I sell locally on craigslist and I have people all the time wanting me to take the money orders and cashiers checks and I take cash only in person, no I do not ship to anyone except my friends. The interesting thing I found was, so many of them claim they are in the Marines, on deployment and want it sent to they nephew who always lives in NJ. One guy finally caught on that I wasn't ever going to fall for this when he asked, so how much should I send you and I told him to send me $500 by western union and I will think about doing it.

Haha I messed with a scammer once and got him to send a check that was obviously not able to be cashed. When I stopped messing with him and confronted him, he actually got passed off at me for leading him on and wasting HIS time!! Lol! It was a week of laughs!

Was about to buy a corvette sting ray on eBay for $69,000 AUD. I still can’t work out if it’s a scam. Spoke to him on phone. Nice guy. Planning to see it next week. Car should be worth at least $100K+.

David T happened like 15 years ago. Guy played the part of someone with money. Talked his way into a test drive. Pulled over to swap drivers with the salesman and the guy took off with the car. Had a trailer parked not far away waiting.

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.

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.
