Horrible scam on vwvortex

[trevkm7]

So I was just searching vwvortex looking at cars and apparently this guy (mainvdubbin) sold a kid from connecticut a gti for 7200 dollars. Didn't tell him it was a salvage title,and also didn't tell him it needed almost 4,000 dollars in repairs. When the kid tried to resell the car for 6500 after fixing some of the problems with it Mainvdubbin blew up his for sale thread and told everyone all the problems with it and that the car was only worth 3,000! I cannot believe people these days!!! REDICULOUS
heres the link...scroll to post # 16 and then post # 20

absolutely,but come ON man thats so low. Its so nuts though all of the cars on there are over priced by like 3k. I bought a 90k mile 2001 wolfsburg with a big turbo 2 years ago for 6,000. Now theres 150k mile cars going for 8,000. I've noticed it on this site too, all of the '03 cobras have gone up in price so much since the winter its amazing.

Kid should've known better before buying. Even from the beginning when the seller is trying to persuade him to buy the car should've been a red flag.

The price issue is simple economics. It's the summer. Prices on sports cars go up in the summer when demand is higher and fall in the winter when demand is lower. Supply is also usually higher in the winter.

The prices on most used cars have gone up due to serveral reasons, one being a lack of supply after "cash for clunkers" that drove people to buy more expensive cars since they had no choice after all the sub $5k cars were destroyed. Inflation...

What a turd. The buyer wasn't too smart either...

 

[Satyr]

wow...pretty despicable thing to do

 

[KingBlack]

thats seriously low...

 

[Dusten]

Im sorry but if the seller failed to tell him it was a salvage title, and then he was too stupid to notice the title had a big ****ing brand on it then he's a retard

 

[SLVRBLT]

He shoulda used Carfax first.

 

[Serpent]

It was a kid who bought it, 17 years old and pretty gullible. Either way I hope the scammer get screwed. I don't believe in karma but damn does the scammer deserve an ass kicking and some lessons in being a gentleman.

Vwvortex is the most retarded site I have ever visted. The seller needs to beat the **** out of this guy.

That blows, I was reading the Vwvortex thread and can't believe the original owner got onto the new owner's for sale thread and started bashing the car. What an asshole!

Thats why it's so low. All I can say is do you guys know how long it takes a 17 year old to save up 7,300 dollars while working a shitty ass job for minimum wage???

 

[Camaro_94]

Doesnt it say on the title that it was a salvaged title car?

That guy is a major douche. I hope someone scams the **** out of him.
