Central Ohio car dealership accused of scamming customers

if you can wire 140k for a urus, you can take a flight out with a few friends and pay the dealer a personal visit

No way! A car is one of those things you should ALWAYS buy in person!

The criminal thing is that he actually thought a used urus is only worth $140K.

This is shocking. Car dealerships are some of the most upstanding businesses in the world.

You're also buying a Lamborghini form a dealership that looks like an old Auto Zone..... That's on you at that point.

Wires are irreversible. They should have asked for a written agreement to wire the refund in 3 days. Mailing a check is a joke

The name “Lux Auto” should have been an immediate red flag

My best friend found a Porsche 911 he wanted to buy at a dealer 500 miles away from our town. He emailed and eventually talked with the dealership and made a deal. The salesperson was eager to do a bank wire transaction and deliver the car to him but my friend was skeptical. We decided to drive to the dealership late the next day after driving for many hours. We did this without the dealer expecting us. To our surprise the car wasn’t even there and the guy we spoke to wasn’t there either. When we asked to speak to a manager they said he wasn’t there! After a few minutes walking around the lot I made casual conversation with a worker that was parking cars and was shocked when he said “we had a Porsche 911 but we sold it two weeks ago”. We left and my friend emailed the dealership when he got home. To this day we haven’t figured out if it was just the salesman trying to scam my friend or the business…

What kind of dealership sells a Urus inside a lot full of $2K cars! 🤣

Difficult to believe that a car dealer would scam a customer.

Never wire $$ to a car dealer

A great example of fools and their money.

The fact that he wanted to rent out a Urus shows he doesn’t make smart decisions

Big mistake to wire money. He should have used the USPS because it would have been easier to get the US Postal Inspectors on the case. They have a 98% conviction rate. This should be a criminal case in any event. You do NOT buy a car sight unseen from a small, independent dealer. Buy from a legit dealership. Buy Porsche from a Porsche dealer, etc.

What Stealership doesnt scam the customers?

The dealership Should be charged with wire fraud.

When you can no longer tell the difference between a car dealer and a scammer...

Sometimes the best thing is to go to a dealer in person, and do it the old way. Or deal with a dealer that is reputable, not this little luxury dealers that can scam you.

You know some things are better bought in person, especially when you're buying something expensive.

160 for an urus? Those are going for 300ish. It was obviously a scam to begin with. What were they thinking???
