<p>[QUOTE="ewomack, post: 3661527, member: 15588"]Stories like the OP's make my innards fume. I am incredibly glad that the OP just left after that dealer's revolting actions. Of course, if that dealer found out that someone had done the same thing to him, he would be beyond furious. But by doing what he did he's just encouraging others to do the same. So he would ultimately be complicit in his own rip-off. Anyone who does something so putrid is just encouraging others to do the same. That he perpetrated and celebrated such a loathsome event as some sort of victory shows a massive lack of big-picture thinking and an utterly vacuous moral sense. Be the change you want to see in the world. If you don't want someone to rip you off, then don't rip off other people. It's all pretty basic but people never seem to understand this simple idea. What kind of world do you want to live in? Do you want to live in a world where YOU don't get ripped off? Then DON'T rip other people off. That kind of crap is more contagious than people think.</p><p><br /></p><p>And sure, you have the RIGHT to rip people off, but shouldn't people think more deeply than that? Just because someone has a RIGHT to do something doesn't always make that action RIGHT.</p><p><br /></p><p>The dealer could have at least made a decent profit off of the poor woman whose father would have been completely crushed by the transaction. He could have offered much more than $10 and still done very well. Ugh. The only consolation is that someday the "young, hot woman" will probably leave him for someone who can rip people off better than he can. What a fantastic arrangement!</p><p><br /></p><p>That people can actually treat other people this way is just heartbreaking. It's a sign of cultural death.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
