Stealing from some guy who hides his money in a mattress just proves his paranoia was justified.

The feces-stained pants? That's just a precaution.

I would have just offered to install a special coating to keep the CIAs satellites from reading his thoughts for 25 grand.

I wonder if a salesman had to accompany Mr. Poopy Pants on a test drive.

They went too far, if they just took the money and left it there they would've gotten away..

I think the submitter's admonishments are a little misplaced. The guy is supposedly "mentally ill and vulnerable."

You have to love a judicial system that takes almost 2 years to complete a case as cut-and-dry as this one. I'm wondering if it would have taken 3 years, had the guy not been wearing crap-stained pants....

preying on the mentally ill, what wonderful people. reading an article like this is a great way to start the day. scumbags.

My question is, what kind of will executor delivers $70,000 in inheritance to a mentally ill man in CASH?

Or, did he give him a check, and the mentally ill man told the bank he'd take that in 100s?

Class act by the owner guy Steve Huling. Repaid the money his employees scammed from the guy, and repaid him for the truck. Too bad the guy's out of business because of his shady employees.

Pretty nice of the former dealership owner to pay the "mentally ill and vulnerable" guy back for what his employees did. Or perhaps, given the timing, it was all a plot to screw over the guy who bought the dealership...

The victim walked into Huling Brothers on July 21, 2006, wearing feces-stained pants, and paid $30,000 cash for a black 2006 GMC Canyon pickup.

In case you were wondering who the hell buys GM products these days.

They could have just sold him the underbody coating and paint sealant like everybody else. Like 60 times over.

A fool and his money are soon parted.

FTFM

I think the most important sign the guy gave that he was completely flubtarded was when he paid 30 grand for a GMC Canyon.... those trucks are retards of the truck world.

/30 grand could have gotten him the hummer H3 (which is basically a canyon with a hummer body)

Cool! Buying cars!!!!!! I want to own a super cool car!!! It would represent me really well!

I'm going to need some type of chart to understand that article. X stole from Y, who bought from Q, or something.

The poor schmuck was retarded. What's subby's excuse?

nice

they would leave a mentally ill dude
broke, eventually homeless, then dead

so they could buy 'jewelery'.


STAY CLASSY, CAR SALESMEN!

Huling repaid poopy-pants. Huling had already sold the car lot to a 3rd party when the plot surfaced. The 3rd party says they had to close the lot because they took a bad P.R. hit after the plot was publicized. I doubt Huling gave them their money back.

I'm getting a kick out of these replies because I'm wearing feces stained pants right now.

You write too bad, if you just expressed properly then we could've understood..

Car salesman scumbags. I know a former high school "friend" of mine who used his small inheritance to open a used car dealership. I'll say he has many former friends who he screwed over selling them cars. The majority of cars on his lot are either stolen (from Miami), cheaply repaired wrecks, storm damaged, ect. ect...Typical smiley-faced, gold-chained thief who goes out every day trying to suck every penny out of everyone he meets. No, I never bought anything from him.

Fake. All car salesmen are honest and would never rip off anyone.



/Yes, I'm being sarcastic

Car salesmen are the scum of the earth. I buy cars only when I run the one I'm driving into the ground, and even then I breeze by the vultures and go straight to the fleet manager. Even they are shifty, but not as bad as the pointmen.

Wouldn't providing a vehicle to a guy in poopy pants who's clearly not mentally fit to drive a vehicle let alone change his pants be against some kind of law?

I mean, giving a child an AK-47 violates some law or another.

And this guy crashed the car the next day. What if he took out someone?

I think Darwin needed more involvement in this matter, that's all I'm saying.

How does someone who is as mentally ill and vulnerable as he is painted in the article acquire a drivers license, detrmine what shoe goes on what foot, and know what to do when he gets hungry or thirsty?

Sometimes you have to let stupid dealerships shoot themselves in the foot.. for instance a place called Tower Dodge (then renamed to Griffin) in Menomonee Falls, WI. My mom went to purchase an SUV in cash from the dealership and they refused to sell it to her, telling her to "Come back with your husband.". No wonder the dump is closed for good, serves them right!

Coxwell, hmm? Sounds about right.

Same thing happened to my mom once at a dealer. I was pretty young at the time but I remember thinking something along the lines of "Mommy is going to kill that man."

The employees were doing him a favor by preventing him from buying another GMC vehicle.

They were car salesmen, of course they were shady.

wow. some of you people must have had terrible car buying experiences.

oh and before i forget, I'm a car saleman, so I'm getting a kick, etc.

Here in Manitoba (that's in Canada), I had to pass an ethics test before I could get my sales license. We are governed by a provincial association, and if I were to ever recieve a substantiated complaint on my record, my boss would fire me in a heartbeat. Of course, I also work in a new car dealership, and we don't have all that many used cars. Those that we do have are all safetied, and you're more than welcome to take them to your own tech to have them looked at. The dealership itself is small, family owned, and has been in business almost 30 years now.

These guys that did this got what they deserved. Actually, they deserved worse.

That doesn't happen in the US because all the uneducated Jeebus-fearing Republican douchenozzles would immediately stand up, point fingers and yell, "Marxism! Communism! Liberals! Hitler! And....CLINTON! Look at how they shove honest Americans under the yoke of liberal oppression, crushing the free market like clutching, psychopathic socialists! Why do they hate freedom? WHY DO THEY HATE AMERICA???"

This is why we can't have good things.

Another car salesman here. Ripping people off is not only unethical, it's short-sighted. We started this business 3 years ago, and we intend to be here a long time. Word of mouth is pretty important in this business, not to mention sanctions from the state for dirty dealing.
I get a kick out of the people who think acting shiatty to a salesman or saying you'll only talk to the "fleet manager" are doing themselves any good. There was a time when this industry had problems, but carfax, state inspectors, and an educated consumer have limited that to the bottom-feeders only. And they don't last long. But enough reality. Jokes, bring on the jokes.

Marginally related: the college I go to is in a kind of run-down part of town. Leaving one day, I drove by a gas station just off campus. At one of the pumps was an SUV of some sort--Chevy or GMC, but obviously a GM product and definitely NOT an Escalade. Its original grille badge was gone, replaced by a badly attached Cadillac badge.
A couple of weeks ago, I was at a BBQ place in the same area. Someone had a Ford truck with a Mustang badge attached to its grille.

I'm right here on a nice sunny day, taking ups between posts. Sold a Jeep Wrangler last night, a Hyundai Sonata this morning.

Shady shoes? Sound good for a hot summer day. Say, do you know Al Bundy?

Yeah, listening to the average farker on here, it makes me wonder how I got my University education, since I'm just lowly scum and all. The jokes about being a car salesman, I can handle. What bothers me is the number of people I talk to that lie directly to my face. Yes farkers, we do know when you're lying to us, but we won't call you on it until after you've bought the car. And I will call you on it.

moved up into FSM last year. I gross more in the box than my team does on the floor

paid $30,000 cash for a black 2006 GMC Canyon pickup

I think the real crime here is that someone paid $30K for a GMC Canyon pickup.

What do they lie to you about? Their financial situation?

/Not being a dick.
//Genuinely interested.

hyperflame: What do they lie to you about? Their financial situation?

Everything. No shiat, customers will lie about everything at first. You have to ask every question at least twice to get close to a straight answer.

Think about it. You go to a lot to buy a car, you probably already know exactly what you want. Salesman walks up. First words out of your mouth are "just looking." He asks what vehicles you are considering "We're not really sure." Then when the whole financial stuff comes up whole new lies come out.

As FSM, I've been lied to about income, where they work, how long they've been working, living expenses, etc.

Because I'm at a small dealership, there are only 2 other salesmen, so I take ups as well. It's on the floor that people lie the most. How long they've been looking, where they work/what they do (this is especially true of higher paying professions, eg. doctors, so you don't know what they can afford). As lcmino stated, 'just looking' is the most common one. If the first words out of a customers mouth are 'i'm just looking', odds are I'm selling them a car that day. Another common lie is what another dealer has quoted them on a specific (new) car. I know what invoice cost is, and I also know that the dealership across town is not selling you their identical car for $3000 below cost. I've had people bring me internet printouts from our own website that have been pasted into Word and had 'downpayment' changed to 'discount'.

The list goes on and on. The car business today is not what it was 20 or even 10 years ago. The consumer is educated about our products, and generally know what they want when they walk on the lot. I'm equally educated about how consumers behave, and almost half of the people I've worked with over last couple years have University educations, but are in car sales because it can be fun. Think about it, I surf Fark, play games, and talk about cars with people all day. What's not to like?

This post is getting too long now, so rant over.
