This BMW owner feels scammed after buying a 6 Series
BMW makes some of the best luxury cars. Sometimes, finding an older model at auction can be a dream come true. However, according to Daily Dot, this BMW owner has a different story. Isaiah (@turbozay) recently took to TikTok to show himself embarking on a 16-hour journey to buy a used BMW 6 Series. The caption of his video reads, “Drove six hours to get scammed at auction.”
Sadly, the BMW owner realized that the 6 Series he dreamed of had engine issues. According to him, the car started up, and he could hear it laboring to continue running. Then, the used BMW went dead. This was after he spent $16,000 on the vehicle. However, this isn’t the first time, as he invested in another car at auction in the past that had issues. He posted a video of the encounter in July of this year, including the BMW 550.
Regarding this used BMW 6 Series, he implies that the engine blew up. Of course, the comments on his most recent video included varying opinions. Some wondered why the BMW owner needed this specific car from an auction as they are readily available. Some gave him the bad advice to insure the vehicle and burn it for the money.
Regarding auctions, many people trust them. However, as the BMW owner said in a previous video, “Life’s a gamble.” For more reading, check out our article on how State Farm tried to force a driver to agree to total out a vehicle that was fixable.
