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.

The one and only time I scammed a dealer, he managed to scam me too. I traded in to him a Chevy 4x4 with non working front axle and he sold me a Toyota with a bad rod bearing. After we both figured out what we had done to each other we had a good laugh over it but never did business again. :P

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.

The truth is, - the dealers are the scammers themselves. The 10-20% of the car's price is what a dealer makes on almost every car because they could "buy" the laws protecting their "legal" business leaving you no choice.

Great video Doug!!

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.

Never buy a car from an unknown person and without seeing the car in person. Basically almost all scams involve fake checks and money wiring.

Does anyone know how to make an honest living anymore? Thank you for the education it is good to know there is someone out there looking out for the rest of us honest people!

Even the local craigslist seems to generate scam incoming calls. You can be selling trash can lids and somebody will call you trying to scam. I've met many people who stopped picking up their business phone. Interesting changes taking place.

Useful information and knowledge.

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.

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.
