| 0:00.0 | A shady, sketchy car dealership trying to scam me out of the car I was trying to buy |
| 0:04.8 | after I flew out to their dealership just to get it. |
| 0:07.6 | But after being confronted with this bait and switch, the entitled general manager of this location |
| 0:12.4 | mockingly told me that if I didn't like it, then I should the entitled General Manager of this location |
| 0:12.5 | Mockingly told me that if I didn't like it, |
| 0:14.7 | then I should just leave a bad review online. |
| 0:16.8 | So I decided to get some revenge and maliciously comply, |
| 0:19.8 | resulting in them losing about $50,000 over the next two to three years and I've honestly |
| 0:24.9 | never been happier to watch karma take its course. |
| 0:27.7 | Here's what happened. |
| 0:28.7 | So the city I live in has extremely inflated vehicle values, especially compared to the surrounding areas. |
| 0:34.4 | If you buy the same car from a neighboring state you can often save about |

| 1:02.0 | After looking up flights, there was a one-way direct flight that took me to their local airport for about $175. Now if I include the gas money that I'm going to use to drive back, I was looking at a total of maybe $275, |
| 1:16.0 | which would save me about $5,000 overall. |
| 1:18.8 | So I knew it was absolutely worth it in this situation. |
| 1:21.9 | I reached out to the dealership. I negotiated for a little bit and I agreed on a price. I let them know that I would be flying in to pick up the car and I offered to pay in full in advance of the flight. They told me that all they needed was a $1,000 deposit and that the car was considered mine. |
| 1:37.0 | We signed a contract and I paid the deposit, and then I booked the flight for three days from then. |
| 1:42.0 | But it's right about here that I saw my first signs |
| 1:44.7 | that things have gone wrong. |
