A disgruntled Utah man smashed his car into the storefront of a dealership he had bought it from earlier that day after he was allegedly denied a refund when he discovered his new ride had mechanical issues.

Michael Lee Murray, 35, bought a used Subaru Outback from the Tim Dahle Mazda Southtowne car dealership in Sandy, a city in the Salt Lake City metropolitan area, for $4,000 on Monday morning, according to Fox 13 News.

However, Murray alleged that he was sold a “lemon” — a vehicle whose manufacturing issues jeopardize the driver’s safety — soon after he snagged the wheels.

Murray returned to the dealership and asked for a refund, but management told him the car was sold “as is” and could not be returned.

All that for 4 grand?? His legal bills will be huge.

“All that for 4 grand?? His legal bills will be huge.”

The American public has more than it’s share of idiots.

I saw that video. He is a childish brat, and my first thought is he needs a good beating for acting like a brat.

Hopefully this event will be so painful for him that it will discourage any future outbursts from this man-child.

Michael, Michael, Michael....Subarus are for LESBIANS!

A Subaru for $4G, aka scrap. What a dummy

[Getready]

I hope the dealership had a contract with the stipulations about the car needing work and being sold “as is”. I hope the contract was signed by both parties. If so....perp has some issues, personal and now legal..

It is worth more than that in parts.

Lol.

Any car that looks decent for four grand that runs at all looks like a good deal to me.

I agree but what promises were made or implied.

Used car sales men have a reputation for a reason.

Wow, we can do that? :^) Whenever I start considering collecting the insurance money on this Hyundai, I think of the Robert Schimmel bit about the brand and start laughing. Can't post it of course.

You bought a used car for $4k. At a dealership! What were you expecting?

Buyer beware.

All manufactures of automobiles have issues from time to time. Buying used, always do your research.

And when buying a used car it pays to have it checked by a trusted mechanic.

And if you have problems after buying get a lawyer if you were misled. In many states verbal contracts are enforceable. Don’t let your anger get the best of you.

Another product of participation trophies and time-outs.

Don’t most states have 30 day lemon laws?

Great movie! Classic.

Given that this happened in Utah, I wonder if this was guy the salesman.
