A Reddit user’s detailed account of a troubled used car purchase involving a 2011 Kia Soul proves how even a routine transaction can deteriorate when communication breaks down.
In the post, the buyer described visiting a used car dealership on a Friday to test-drive the car and negotiate a purchase directly with the owner, who also served as the salesperson. The buyer said he clearly stated he needed the car by the following Wednesday, as he was leaving on a monthlong trip. The owner assured him that the timeline would not be a problem.
