Online car buying service - Please be careful people..!!

Sharing this video from The Fast Lane Car I watched just now. That seems scary. Please be careful if you plan to use online car buying service like vroom.com.

(No I would never use online car buying service, always buy from dealer. Just sharing so someone else won't be in the same situation.)

Never buy cars online sight unseen. I don't know how many regulations there are for online car buying, but its probably less than dealerships.

 

Don’t buy anything delivered!!!Fed Ex just lost a very expensive 1936 train engine I ordered......

 

That sucks..!! I hope insurance sellers insurance cover it and you get a new set.

 

How am I gonna do my “Hitler’s last stand” impressions with the 155 mm Howitzer going off across the street??lol

Remember the documentary? He was in a bunker playin with his toy trains and they were bombing the shit outa him..lol

 

Oh man. It's a damn good thing they have some clout(youtube following). Anything else I have to say would get me booted off this site. Ya know

 

It's resolved, but getting there was a major PITA!

I guess its clear..!! NO ONLINE CAR BUYING..!!

 

Never! Ever! Before, or after, this fiasco.

 

Crazy how it seems like everything that could have gone wrong went wrong. I'm glad to see it got resolved. I appreciate him also calling out it was his choice to buy as he did.

I personally would not buy a car on one of these services, but I did sell my Tundra on Tred. They do make the process fairly easy, and I sold my truck pretty quick. I did find it difficult to get a hold of a live person via phone or email.

Would be intersted to see how this would have played out if it was someone without the clout/following these guys have.
