“Using the strawman,” I get that language is always evolving, but I’m consistently surprised at their alien definitions of common words.

Fontasia ,

They’re trying to take back the word cause they thing logical falicy is an achievement not a fancy way to call you an idiot

Tolookah ,

I like how the car (carrier) crashed on him, not that he crashed the car. It’s like they refuse to accept any responsibility, so it’s definitely the car’s fault.

Honestly, I’m a little bit offended that FS tried that with you without securing a bond first. I suggest you take out a lean against their property.

I would bet good money that a part of their madness hinges on the idea that they are not responsible for the operation and actions of the vehicle, they just happen to be sitting in it while it goes places.

I wonder what the state’s recourse is for this dealership and the sale. This type of sale has to throw a bunch of red flags into the system.

ryathal ,

So long as the sales tax gets paid the state probably doesn’t care much. Registration and insurance is only required for driving on public roads, you can make a new car a lawn ornament or for your personal off road track without those.

apfelwoiSchoppen ,
@apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world avatar

Right. The litigious nature of things though, I wonder if the dealership could be at fault for giving some POS a car without proof of either. Registration of and insurance for this vehicle is required due to the public road use. Ain’t like he’s driving it solely on his own land.

Laser ,

He’s not driving, he’s commuting! Gosh

apfelwoiSchoppen ,

In a carrier!

ryathal ,

He’s definitely not, but you could conceivably show up with a trailer to load the car on.

ladytaters ,

It depends on the state, and whether he’s financing the veh- excuse me, ‘carrier’. Although I’m definitely sure that where I work, he would be politely told that he needs insurance, a valid license, and there’s no way he’s leaving with a TRP instead of license plates; he can’t transfer plates that are not recognized by the state, and he doesn’t live in another state that would let him leave with temp registration.

“all the agents at the dealership now have notes at their cubicle about Private Travelers because of this transaction”

I bet they do.

Label taxes as private sale fee…

“And as I was walking out, I heard a single clap. Followed by another. And another. Faster, now. I turned to see Josh, slowly rising to his feet, a proud, silent respect in his eye. As I continued for the door, slowly but surely, a chorus of hands crescendoed into whoops and hollers. The entire dealership, the mechanics, the salesMEN, the wives, all stood staring in reverence, the wives in lust, as I pushed through the double glass doors in slow motion and out into my carrier. The credits rolled. True story.”

The whole ‘what did you leant a out this transaction’ triggered me. Fuck you dude, I’m here to sell stuff not be your student.

Why would a random dealership call the secretary of state, and even if they did why would they not have called the department of transport before that?
That's like calling the CEO before calling the customer hotline

rubikcuber ,
@rubikcuber@feddit.uk avatar

I’m going to guess that they didn’t. And Josh just said whatever he had to to meet his sales target for the month.

Drusas ,

I'm going to guess there was no Josh.

rubikcuber ,
@rubikcuber@feddit.uk avatar

This is probably more likely.

Drusas ,

You might be sadly surprised how often that or something similar happens. There are a lot of business customers out there who somehow believe that their business is always the most important business and they shouldn't have to follow standard procedure to get support.

And of course it often works.

RattlerSix ,

I love that he wants to send Josh a lot of business but never mentions the company. Just go to every dealer and ask for Josh I guess

FlyingSquid ,

I’ve always wondered how these people are constantly lying about this crap (and the antivaxxers, too) and yet somehow it never occurs to them that maybe everyone else is lying, too.

dejected_warp_core ,

Nevermind all the terminology gobledygook. This sounds an awful lot like a temporary tag, or a temporary permit to relocate a vehicle without a plate. Which I think is pretty standard in any state, and I can see a dealership begrudgingly doing this if it gets the car off the lot. But it’s very temporary, like days to weeks in my experience. I think the DMV would catch on if you kept coming back for permits.

Also, I’m guessing sovcit here doesn’t have a “FARM USE” loophole in their state?

Zron ,

I’m pretty sure in order to get a farm use exemption, the property you live at would have to be zoned as agricultural.

Not going to get much of a commission when this “private citizen” sends a coupon in for his first few payments and they have to repo it.

TheFriar ,

Still got the down payment. And they get to do it all over again when they repo it.

Every sovcit success story hinges on one person who decided to go with the flow and not follow the law.

henfredemars ,

It hinges on a dice roll finding someone half as dumb as they are.

The places I’ve worked had a surprising fraction of people who didn’t understand the job yet somehow managed to not get fired. I’m not that surprised.

This is what gives me The Fear; we are laughing now, but human society is not at all innoculated against an ideology that turns people into sociopathic liars, and we have to hope that despite what in this metaphor I will call “the patient’s poor health”, that we can survive long enough to develop a lasting immunity.

henfredemars ,

It’s like strange matter. It’s the crazy that drives everyone around you crazy. The prion of confused thinking.

Sounds like a lot of these sovcits have plenty of misfolded prions in their heads.

I am under the impression that this Josh is a man in between. Or is straight up telling him what he wants to hear and taking his money. I guess he will find out when his “carrier crashes” again.

DxK ,

I was able to secure a carrier (most call it a vehicle)

SovCits are always such dorks.
