You’re a great dude we all know this but your honesty is your downfall funny thing to say about a genuine car dealer who I would love to buy a car from and I love your channel love your video’s etc etc etc etc,, Look at what he did for the sake of $500 dollars he just made a mockery of himself and his fake corvette club I know you are a very decent fella and if he asked you for $500 you probably gave it to him for him to send it back to you in the future but he is a dork ,, God bless you and your flying wheels business ,, How low would he really go to fraud so little doesn’t make sense let him keep it and he can buy a few hamburgers and chips because he could move them like no one on earth,😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 He is a low down waste of space and fresh air,,, Can’t imagine him giving his fake car club any bonuses ya right,, See you in the next one my friend,,

She Ruined My Credit, and She didn’t Care at All. I paid A Lawyer and It just cost me more money, He did absolutely nothing for me. But cost me over $10,000! Trust No one.

Yes, the card has to work as intended, chip first and if the chip is damaged after 3 attempts it let's you swipe. Card must be physical unless they are using a phone payment option. You can't pay credit with credit and the actual numbers of the card is what the POS uses to determine whether it's a credit or debit card. Sometimes because of limits set by banks, a debit can be ran as credit to bypass it or the client will have to call the bank. Some electronic banks have limitations like Chime, you can't have automatic payments coming from those accounts, like for a lease, but will allow a service like Netflix.

Thanks for the very informative vid. Here’s a concept; first file a police report. Then because Melvin shorted you $500, the sale contract is void. You could tell him that unless he sends the money you will repossess the Vette. If no money is sent, take back the car.

@saskatchewandave 11 месяцев назад

@lucasmott7079 11 месяцев назад

It will cost the dealership more than 500$ to repo. Repos are not free to use. In this case the dealership is better off sucking up the loss. But he should file the police report and after send it in to the bank so the bank gets notified of the customer bad behavior and its on file and there is paper trail.

@janettetorrez9218 11 месяцев назад

His business is not worth the time and money over $500, because he has to take his personal time and pay the cost to hire and repossess, then resell it. Especially since he might cause more drama. If he thinks it’s worth it then he definitely should. But not worth it for most when you have to step away from the business to handle it and can make more money anyway.

@zZp15 11 месяцев назад

Yes repo is not free, however the idea is to get fat boy to send the money before a repo is done. However if a repo is done flying wheels can subtract that cost from the money already paid and refund the remainder and resell the Vette.

He can't repo anymore. He no longer has title to the car, Melvin does. He should though file a police report.

I was at a small dealer buying a 2 year old Yukon Denali. It was was quite a bit more expensive than the rest of their inventory, but they actually seemed like decent folks. Counted out what was supposed to be $35k and $2k was missing. We had money spread all over the desk. I had counted it at the bank and knew it was all there. I started to think they were pulling some kind of scam as I beat them up pretty hard to get it down to $35k. After about 10 minutes of some tense discussions, I noticed two stacks of hundreds on the shelf below the counter top that we were using. I then remembered placing them there as the counter was running out of space. We were both more than relieved.

Banks have machines that count out the money. Banks also have surveillance on their employees. Bank tellers job is more important than 2 grand. So, it never happened at a bank. The guy was a scammer. Crocodile tears mean NOTHING. You can wait till he finds the cash or there are other buyers.

Sad thing is it goes both ways. I took my truck in to a new shop to have an annual inspection done. They told me that I needed to replace both front rotors and pad sets… and didn’t catch the fact that both front wheel bearings were completely shot. They followed this up by claiming the radiator was a goner… when in reality it was just a leaking heater core connector. I didn’t bother to tell them that I was a 12 year professional mechanic. Those rotors and pads were well within safe limits, with no abnormal wear patterns. The bearings were loose enough that the damn things rattled when you shook them. (It was a project truck, was waiting on the parts to deliver during the whole COVID shut down). It’s shit like that, (and all the electronic bullshit in modern vehicles), that drove me to leave the industry.
