Car flipper drives to Chicago with $60k Corvette, lets buyer take it for test drive, watches him floor it and disappear

A car flipper learned a hard lesson after driving seven hours to Chicago to sell his Corvette Z06, only to have the buyer speed off with it. The seller, known as Ghosted on TikTok, shared the full story in a video posted, detailing how a plan to make $10,000 profit ended with him down roughly $70,000.

The buyer offered to pay the full $60,000 asking price, plus extra for delivery. They agreed to meet at a bank, where the buyer claimed he was arriving via Uber with a bag full of cash. Instead, he showed up with a small bag holding only about $1,000. Ghosted said, “He’s like, yeah, if you want to make sure it’s like legit. And it’s a pretty small bag, and I’m like, there’s no way you fit $63,000 in that bag.”
