YOU GOTTA HAVE THE UNDERCOAT!..........................
You know, my thoughts immediately went to Bill Macy’s ‘Fargo’ character as well.
That was a great movie!
Good movie, Fargo
Ditto.
That truecoat.
Ever count the number of dead because of that idiot?..............
He must have had a busy woodchipper...
They don’t have an Oscars for scams and con artists? Such a shame.
I actually know a guy who did something similar to this...only he figured out how to keep people’s trade-in cars, when selling them a new car, and put them in his name.
They could give out gold Smollets every year.
Based on a true story - the guy got caught because no one rents a wood chipper in the middle of Winter. The rental dealer called the Police.
He’s lucky he hasn’t been ‘taken care of’ so far.
Plymouth is not that far (mile wise, life style wise) from Detroit.
He clearly has a talent for inspiring trust in other people.
Some folks can look you in the eye and lie to your face with remarkable ease.
Speaking of “COMING OFF LEASE”… if you have a couple year old car that will be coming off lease, instead of turning it in at the end of the lease you can EXERCISE YOUR PURCHASE OPTION. The price you’d have to pay to get complete ownership of the car should be substantially less than its current (highly inflated) value. Dealers would try to fast talk you out of this, of course.
In your lease you have the option of purchasing it from the lending company for a predetermined price listed in the lease agreement.
If you don't want to purchase it, the lender will send someone to your home to inspect it then pick it up and take it away.
In the case of my 2019 model with only 19,000 miles, the purchase price is $15,800. All the same cars I've seen listed for sale are easily going for at least $20,000
“Ever count the number of dead because of that idiot?”
7: the trooper, the two kids in the car, his father-in-law, the guy in the booth in the parking garage, his wife and the “funny-looking guy” - not to mention ruining the lives of his son, Sheb Proudfoot, Grimsrud, everyone at the car dealership who are now probably out of jobs, essentially everyone except Jose Feliciano.
I always figured he needed the money due to gambling debts.
From the article:
“He would actually go to dealerships and get vehicles but put them in their names and sign all the paperwork, sign their names,” Watters said.”
I don’t believe I’ve ever financed anything without being positively identified.
