They would know exactly who he is walking back into that dealership the next day

I think the meme hinges on the idea that the dealership has to do business with him. The dealership has every right to never do business with him again.

Worked at a gas station in my early 20s and met my fair share of "you have to make business with me" people. They live in a very different and very weird world, coincidentally that mindset is usually combined with a very obnoxious personality in general.

Here's a secret...

THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS AN ASSHOLE

[–] DacoTaco@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That means youre an arsehole too tbh.

You don't have to be a customer if you just steal everything you need. [Smart guy meme]

Somehow I don't think that's a coincidence

what if his friend walked in instead and bought the car for him?

[–] whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 weeks ago

Would make more sense for the friend to buy the car and return it, otherwise you still have to change the owner of the car

If he just had his buddy do the second part of the story instead, it would have been believable. But, it would have missed the emotional payoff that way.

would only work if buying in full and would still require a messy title transfer and taxes when he gives the vehicle over.

the best way would be to have the non-buyer do the first part then the person that actually wants it do the second.

that said, it would still probably give you a big hit to your credit score unless buying outright, and if you can afford to buy the cat in cash you probably don't need to be running two man cons for a discount in the first place.

[–] LoreleiSankTheShip@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

I mean, depending on the price of the car, the discount could very well be worth it, regardless of how much money you already have.

[–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 3 points 2 weeks ago

And it would've required him to have a buddy in the first place

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 30 points 2 weeks ago

That's the joke

[–] fuckwit_mcbumcrumble@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 2 weeks ago

Especially when you returned a car.

[–] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 weeks ago

You mean 29 days later, when he gets a car at 1/4 price
