A Utah man crashed his newly purchased car into a dealership after he was reportedly denied a refund for a mechanical issue he discovered.
Police said the man bought the car from a Mazda dealership in Sandy, Utah. After reportedly discovering mechanical issues, the man brought it back to the dealership, however they claimed they sold it to the man "as is" and refused a refund, as reported by KUTV.
The man, who has not been identified yet, then allegedly threatened to crash the vehicle into the dealership, which police said he "did exactly that" just after 4 p.m. Monday, as reported by FOX 13.
The man had purchased a Subaru Outback from the dealership earlier that morning. When he later called to return the car, his request was denied, as the vehicle was sold “as is.” Frustrated, he threatened to crash the car into the dealership if they refused to take it back. pic.twitter.com/jBdv4dyQxK

Videos of the incident were shared to X, where a silver vehicle can be seen crashing through the glass doors of the dealership. The man then gets out of the vehicle and says, "I told you motherf***ers. Call the cops."
The man then takes off his jacket and rolls up his sleeves as witnesses behind the camera exclaim in disbelief. "Call the cops!" one yells. Another repeats, "Oh s***."
