Any job with commissions is going to be shady sh*t goin' on and specifically with roadside used car sales.
Years ago I was dating this gal who bought herself a used car. It was a total surprise and she didn't mention anything about buying one as the car she had was still a good car. It was her way of showing me she was a big girl and didn't need my help in selecting a good car. When I sat in the back seat of the car I in a sec said to myself this car has way over 100 thousand miles and when I asked her how many miles does it show on the dash she says 32000 miles. While her smart ass know it all mother was in the passenger seat she continued to say it was a good car and even her husband and even her pastor blessed it even going as far as saying her husband has been dealing with this dealership for years and the saleman is honest...
She left the car with me one day and I pulled out the back seat looking for information on previous owners and found a couple buisness cards I also looked inside the trunk where I found information of previous owners what I found was gold this car she was so proud of was a former rental.
I made a long distance call to the rental place and asked if they knew the car and they said yes and I asked how many miles do you drive them before selling them or getting rid of them the person on the other end said 150,000 miles. I then asked if they knew this car and they remembered it clearly as I gave them the serial number. This wasn't all I then dug further and to my surprise found a most recent car owners information and gave them a call. I asked them if they owned such and such car and they said yes I asked them how many miles did they have on it before they got rid of it he said it was 175,000 miles when he wrecked it. This explained the rattle in the fenders and noise coming from the rear..
When my sweet girl friend got home from work I presented to her the information and I told her the car you traded in is still the better car and you should go back to the dealership demanding a complete trade back in which she said it's a buy as is sale in which I said my ass lets go and we will see about it..
The owner and saleman she was dealing with was well known in the community and at the time was an outstanding businessman and honest. My girlfriend all timid asked him if she could do a trade back in which he says no the sale is final in which I then said and presented him with my information the hell if it is you will make a trade back no cost to her or your butt will appear in a court of law for false information on a car sale as the title was showing 31,975 there abouts clearly breaking the law with false information.
He did the trade back pissed off to a T and makes the comment that I wouldn't have known the car had that many miles on it if I didn't own a new car in which I said your a stupid MFand if you weren't an old man I'd kick your ass right here I was 28 and he was in and around 50.
His statement to me was clearly disturbing one that was saying he was conning people.
The sweet spot came when my girl friend felt I was to mean spirited and non christian like with the man and I thought what a stupid turd in which I next her butt.
This incident disturbed me so much I called an attorney and asked him about this and I soon learned living in a small town everyone has everyones back this attorney I called backed this car saleman 100% and said it was just one of those things and not to worry about it in which I said your kidding right...Son he said, don't worry about it in which I hung up the phone..
A few months passed my girlfriends dad whom bought a car from this saleman owner was traveling down the highway when his car caught fire...I am sure it was a good car with hardly any miles on it(being sacastic)
I made sure as many people knew about this turkey he didn't sell many cars after this and went out of business a short time later.
As far as me buying a new car or truck I have employee pricing since my dad retired from Ford so it cuts through all the bullsh*t a saleman will pull on you.
