All of this guy’s posts, in order, including the original images. The original thread title is, “Help dealer is screwing me”.

I swap cars frequently. So the brz I might use for a couple months or a couple years. Who knows.

The bmw community is a weird place. Dissing my Subaru and calling me a tool..

Meanwhile it’s just totally cool for a dealership to take $1000 before I can even evaluate the car. I have the means to buy every M car on their lot cash tmrw. But I am a car guy and of course I have to lay eyes on what I’m getting before I drop 75K.

Even though I have a deposit on my own customer ordered car! My trip is only 4 nights! I work an extraordinarily stressful job, with life and death involved every day. And I can tell you I need a little peace and quiet after having a child die in front of me two weeks ago.
So, Cars are my outlet.
I had a gated R8 for a long time, and I currently have a couple vintage cars and I wanted to get something modern again. The BRZ I totally bought on a whim, because it was a TS addition and the dealer gave me 3000 of sticker. The entire state only had like three for sale. Scarce little guys they are. Total impulse purchase!
The conflict is that i am also trying to become more financially savvy, and lately my significant other, and I have decided to go part time at work (because of the constant high stress) and do more traveling. The M2 has been a dilemma because it’s a relatively big expense with pretty hefty taxes and insurance.
The objective was to convey to the dealer that I am excited to see the car and they have a trade-in, but also a little hesitant at the same time because I have not test driven an M2. But only a 240i. Of the luxury car manufacturers I have the very least experience with BMW, except for a family owned z3M in estoril which was a hoot.
Anyways, the negativity is awakening. I understand myself and the dealer Have a mutually blas’e attitude, but it’s a big purchase and I would’ve expected a little more courtesy out of them since I did have $1000 invested. To at least wait for my long weekend trip to conclude. Sheesh

But I’m happy to be saving 70k! Plus the insurance and taxes on that fat bottom girl! Phew!
Saved a lot of money triggering all you wankers 🤓

So many ppl rolled their eyes when I told them I ordered a bmw. Now it all makes sense. The douchery from the dealers I visited to this forum is just effervescent

The R8 - My dad doesn’t give af about cars so it was definitely not his. But he did take it for 50 mile drive one time without telling me. 😂
If a customer seems uncertain about a car, the salesman should be doing their part to sell the car and earn the customers business.
Homeboy from the dealership says have fun in Costa Rica. We’re going to sell your custom order! 😂

Also drove the new Nissan Z holy crap that was terrible.
When I bought the R8 back in 2018, that was my true dream car for a long time I never test drove it. The dealer wouldn’t allow me to test drive but that was understandable because it was $100,000 perfectly SPEC’d low mileage car.
The R8 was an exotic car, and in a different class from an M2. I would fully expect a bmw dealer to allow me to evaluate it thoroughly before making a purchase.
You can tell a lot from a vehicle from a simple 5-7 mile test drive. I have been able to eval all my other sports car purchases with a test drive. EXCEPT There was the time I drunkenly bought a 69 Corvette stingray at auction without power steering, and my arms are in pretty good shape now from driving that. amazing clutch feel on that transmission btw.

This appears to be his M2, so reach out if you’re near the Charlottesville store or are willing to have the car shipped.

My existence on this forum is complete. This has been the most entertainment since the guy who was obsessed with making other forum members recite physics equations for bodies in motion.

Someone should buy this car and get a custom plate that says "Jetpufdsucks". I would be more than happy to pay for the plate too.

I recognize his behavior from something someone told me about a bad relationship.

DARVO (an acronym for "deny, attack, and reverse victim & offender") is a reaction that perpetrators of wrongdoing, such as sexual offenders, may display in response to being held accountable for their behavior.[1] Some researchers indicate that it is a common manipulation strategy of psychological abusers.[

Just say'n.

Wait this is an auto, does that mean this dudebro really had an AUTO BRZ?!?!?!?

Not trashing our M2's ZF or most sporty automatics at all but in a BRZ it's not even close to the manual for that car lol

Also if you really want a laugh a simple search of the same username shows that half the cars they claimed to test drive were actually just BaT bids lololol

I don't understand going to a web forum to inquire about "losing your $1k deposit"... A simple call to the dealer will almost always get that reversed in seconds, and worst case a call to your credit card company to file a dispute.
