Cash Buyer vs. Loan Scam: I Went Off
On the day I go to the car dealership to pick up my car, I'm told that the previous salesperson has resigned, so a different salesperson will attend to me.
Yet the first thing the salesperson does is say that I paid too little for the car and demand that I pay more to make up the difference.
"The other salesperson is truly an idiot. How could he sell a car for 300 thousand dollars in cash? It's no wonder he got chewed out and quit. If you want to take the car, you'll have to switch to a five-year loan with an interest rate of 12%."
I'm rendered speechless as he blatantly tries to extort me.
"I've already paid and signed the sales contract. You're breaching the contract!"
The salesperson scoffs. "So what? The car is with us anyway. If you're not going to pay the difference, don't even think of taking the car with you!"
I can't help but chuckle. I calmly pull my phone out of my suit pocket.
"Walter, place Mr. Paul Roland's loan application on hold for now. He's earning big bucks for his business. It seems like he doesn't need it anymore."
