Selling a Broken Benz
Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 09. 2024
- The plaintiff says she bought a Mercedes-Benz convertible from the defendant, but it turns out the top is broken. He refuses to take the car back, so she’s suing for the cost of the repair and emotional distress. The defendant says he informed the plaintiff one of the hydraulic cylinders leaked and she agreed she would fix it. He’s countersuing for monies owed.

😂 who would have thought a 22 year old Benz would have costly repairs ……..
It's the money pit of cars. 😂
The most expensive thing one can buy is a cheap Benz. LOL.
I knew she lost when she opened her mouth.
She must think telling the judge that irrelevant statement about “doing something nice for myself” would help her win 🙄
But she just came out of an abusive relationship!
Is she a single mother too? B/c THAT will help her win too! 😂🤣😂🤣🤦🏻♀️
If you buy a new or used German car it’s going to be expensive to own. Ain’t no way around it!
OR you take to a mechanic to look at it and pay for the inspection. It has helped me several times. Best 100 bucks spent.
And, expensive to fix and maintain. Even brand new!
Yup. I'll never buy German again.
She sounds like a professional victim
Facts
That's exactly what I was thinking. Take some accountability. Nobody wants to pay the $100 to have a mechanic look over the car BEFORE buying it, then they want to cry and complain when the used vehicle has costly problems. It's nobody's fault but the buyer sadly. Don't be cheap and have it checked!
She never left adolescence
That car is more mature than she is.
No doubt she was saying how nice the guy was and now he’s a despicable little man? I mean come on go get the car fixed if you love it so much, he did nothing wrong.
She expected a 22 year old car to not mess up right away😑??? Ummmm wow, she’s not that bright
When you want to be Hip Hop Barbie but you only have Dollar store bank
@@Channel-JJ 🤣
Anyone who looks 50 but sounds 20 = "not that bright"; just like you said OP
Doug, “I think everybody feels sorry for you”………Ummmm, no. No we don’t.😂😂
Trying to gain sympathy with an abusive past story in the beginning, which has nothing to do with buying an as is car, won't make the judge ignore the law.
Case for Judge Mathis. lol
What pisses me off even more about that is when people are actually abused, it is not something they freely share to the world. Majority of the times the victim is ashamed and wonder what they did to cause the abuse (which is why victims don't always leave the abuser). I know that is not always the case but I have a hard time believing anybody actually abused would go on a show with millions of viewers and freely share that information.
@@davidswick8571 ~ Exactly. You hit the nail on the head. And she was smiling about it when it vomited out of her mouth. I’m surprised she didn’t say she was a single mother too!
It kinda shows that she makes poor decisions in spite of fully seeing the red flags..like many do in their 20's. She's too 'seasoned' for this mess.
@David Swick people have and would go on a large audience platform if they've healed from the abuse, mentally, particularly if it's spreading awareness about DV. This is not a case of spreading such awareness, so it's weird she brought it up, but she may be mentally healed to freely talk about it. I won't discount her claims just because I don't agree with how she's using it to platform her position of sympathy in this situation.
She called him a despicable lil man!!!! 🤣🤣🤣 shes outta pocket.
She bought the car solely based on appearance as many other naive individuals do. She may want to consider a larger, more reliable vehicle instead
During her testimony at the beginning, she even says there was nothing wrong with the car, until the 3rd day, end of case, it's an AS IS sale, the rest is all irrelevant...
That's what I thought too
Usually a person sells a car because there probably something wrong with it ,and they’re not going tell you exactly what’s wrong with it that’s why you should always get a mechanic to look at it. as the judge says every time in cases like this.
That is very true, but you also have consider if the original owner is even knowledgeable of vehicle malfunctions etc, aside from what can be seen on the outside, excluding cosmetic damages.
depends on the car. some people get rid of it because they want something newer. I just sold a car that was old and nothing was wrong with it, it was in good condition therefore it could be used as a trade-in and took money off my next purchase.
He told her about it and its very simple take it to a trusted mechanic for an inspection!
Also not everyone is a car person. I don't know anything about cars so how could I inform a seller if I don't know myself.
What does an abusive relationship have to do with anything 🤔 Do they tell them to open up with irrelevant statements
Benz are a money pit, period. Buying a 23 year old car with who knows how many miles on it, without a thorough inspection is insane.
She thinks acting like a weak woman and batting her eyelashes will work on the judge 😢.
I'm watching trying to figure out how this turned into a 14 minute case!
she probably put more time in buying those lashes than she did buying the car!
Ridiculous comment 🤔🤔🤔
😂😂😂
@@manthony777~ Why is that? She’s not to bright, especially when buying that car & her saying she ‘made it out of an abusive relationship UNSCATHED’. She probably did put more time in picking out her fake lashes, than her looking over /buying the car & using a mechanic.
@Riley Cullen Maybe Michael doesn't know how many lash options there are. I've spent more time looking at and not buying lashes than she spent on that 'test drive,' if you can call it that.
@@RileyCullen1 * too
* Not TOO bright
🤷♀️
✌️
He told her everything...
She was "so excited" she didn't listen nor care
Old enough to vote, old enough to drink 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That’s not a daily driver car. At its age, that’s a weekend car.
Also could she not find a more appropriate shirt for court 😂
The defendant is SO ADORABLE 😊
The plaintiff is vapid. BUT, she saved a hundred bucks on the pre-sales inspection...
Yeah I don't feel sorry for her at all. He told her issues and she was good with it. Oooo my god the car is so cute got to have it. Congratulations it's yours!
She didn’t say it had to run/not leak😂🤣 So she got what she wanted. ABC= A Beautiful Car
Not Doug giving out that man's government name when they used his initials in the courtroom 💀🤣
He’s so petty😂😂😂
They said his full name in the beginning…he called him by his last name.
AS IS and you don't get emotional distress
Never Ever buy a Benz or a BMW after the warranty expires.
They fall apart faster than you can put them back together
“ he went over issues with the car, which he said nothing was wrong with it” weird way to say that
Buy a used 1998 car, and you are Shocked that things don't work.
Ok so she said everything worked when she bought it, and 3 days later everything went kaput….so that’s his fault? Well she has another thing comin!
Goofy woman a 14 year old in an adult body
I was gonna say 16 years old
😂🤣🤪😂🤣🤪😂🤣🤪 What a great comment! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Girl, you should have made an appointment with a mechanic and taken that vehicle to be inspected from top to bottom BEFORE you paid 1 penny. Arrange for the seller to go with you to the mechanic...if the seller wants to. Have the seller drive the vehicle to the mechanic and you follow the seller in another car/taxi/etc. But DO NOT give sellers any money until you know what ALL the issues are from a written report from a reputable mechanic. *These sellers will omit the worse problems with their cars in order to make a quick sale and they are extremely happy when you don't request a full inspection first.* You should've also taken the vehicle through a car wash before paying this man. Car washes have a way of revealing windshield, window, door and roof leaks.
There is much information on the internet for you to gain knowledge about buying new or used vehicles. You have nobody to blame for this but yourself. *DO BETTER.*
You bought a 22 year old SLK, be happy it worked for 3 days. Electrical gremlins plagued the SLK in this generation. Shouldn't even consider this unless you know what you are doing mechanically or know a private mechanic. The average life of a Toyota is 18 years, really took a gamble on this one.
He told her more about the car than what most sellers on the show would. She took the risk. Not on him, for a 22yo car.
He got rid of it because of the issues and then told her to take good care of it. 🤣😂🤣
"not only old enough to vote but old enough to drink" I lost it 🤣🤣🤣
The way she cut her eyes 😂😂😂😂
Your honor I understand what you're saying but I'm not listening to what you're saying so I'm just going to keep running my big mouth
and bouncing my boobs "
If they're talking over someone, guess WHO'S not listening.....
Oh no the poor helpless plaintiff
The plaintiff is a little too long in the tooth to be so naive 😒
Also, she couldn't even explain to the judge what was said to her by the defendant and from the repair shop.
She's an emotional buyer.
Yeah I kind of picked that up right away during her opening statement.
The way she looks at the camera
You can use it you just have to either fix it or drive it as is
If you buy an expensive car you have to be prepared to pay for the expensive parts AND labor for the said car. She's young and foolish but this case will teach her a valuable lesson in purchasing used cars down the road.
My sister owns a Jaguar, her husband has a Land Rover, both expensive vehicles. And oil pan leak cost her $5,000.00, an electrical problem cost her husband $11,000.00. Be prepared to pay or buy a cheaper car. Imports cost much more than domestic vehicles made in America. Her older Mercedes really cost her a bundle but she got rid of it and bought the Jaguar. I'll stick with an American made truck thank you.
Young??? If anyone is spending thousands on a car, you should pay the $150 for a mechanic to look at it first.
Don't nobody care about your sister and her boyfriend madame. ajajajajaja 😂
This woman is ridiculous...If you want warranties and guarantees then shop from a dealership...
Hey Doug, I promise you that not everybody feels sorry for her.
Why haven't people understood and see Emotional Distress has actual, legal defining terms. Emotional Distress isn't just anything to sue for. And, agree, plaintiff used being a victim of domestic violence to prep her story up🙄🙄🙄🙄
At 1:34 when she stuffed that earbud down in that crevice... 👀🤦🏼♀️
Lol whyy
I knew she lost when the judge first saw her.
The car is adorable; her naïveté, not so much. She claimed it was her first time buying a car, and yet didn't have it checked out by a mechanic. And no, Doug - not everyone felt sorry for her. She's not an 18-yo kid; she's plenty old enough to know better. 🙄
What was that thing the defendant did at the end 😭🤣🤣🤣
OMG! Those dead animal ornaments are disgusting!!!!!! On a happy note - I am sipping screwdrivers made with orange mango juice and Old Bay Vodka. I should patent this recipe! I'm calling it a Mango Bay Screw.....hehe
I'd buy it🎉
I'm jealous
I'm having me some moscato while watching this but I'll buy your drink as long as it's not sweet
be careful that's the same cocktail that killed those deer.
@@chendab.6125 I just discovered this vodka. I love Old Bay seasoning so I had to try it. It really pairs well with the mango. So just make a screwdriver with orange mango juice and sprinkle some Old Bay into it. 🥂 Cheers!
If she only had a brain but unlike the scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz giving her a diploma isn't going to make her any smarter.
Best comment! 🎉👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
This is very common problem with most SLK (and also some convertible MBs). Too expensive to fix.
Never buy anything off of craigslist chances are it's going to be a crappy deal. The car she purchased was 22 years old so it's not going to run like a new car 🤷🏾♀️
Buying from Craigslist is no different from buy off of Facebook Market place, the newspaper or any sales site.
I have bought and sold many things through Craigslist and as with all things Caveat Emptor (let the buyer beware).
My parents have brought two cars off Craigslist and both were fine. They also had both checked out by mechanics BEFORE they purchased the cars. The last one they bought was a 07 Ford Focus that my mom still drives. The other one was an 02 PT Cruiser that would have still been on the road had I not got rear-ended in it. It's totally fine to buy things off Craigslist as long as you're smart about it.
@@AnikaBren Same. I've even rented apartments that I found on Craigslist. You just have to understand that you are taking a risk when you buy things used and from private sellers. All of this could have been avoided if she had paid the $115 to get the diagnostic before she bought the car. Too bad!
i bought a minivan off craigslist 15 years ago and i still use it as my everyday vehicle , i put over 200 k miles on it and it still runs good . where u find a car is not the issue , its the other factors . i specifically looked for a car being sold by the original owners who bought it new 10 years prior to me buying it and when u buy from the original owners then its always gonna be in better condition than a vehicle u get from a second or third owner or an auction .
@Sunshine craigslist is great . many people like myself make a living by posting on craigslist and its the only site left where a self employed person can get paid cash for their work or their products .
It seems like she has champagne taste on a Schlitz beer budget. It also seems like she wants to just have nice things thrown at her because she "survived" an abusive relationship. I have been there and never expected to be given things.
I love how the defendant has on his suit jacket
Bet you have on holey draws from the waist down
Okay BIG girl., You lost to little man so take several seats. Keywords “As is.”
Her sob story was irritating. If you go to court, at least be able to accurately explain to the judge what component on the car failed. Or bring pictures. She is a helpless mess who probably shouldn't be behind the wheel of any car.
She seems used to sucking sympathy from people. Sympathy, and energy.
The plaintiff is so confused and it shows. She didn’t know what she was getting herself into buying that car and is trying to make it seem like that man lied to her. I don’t believe he lied, she just didn’t do any research before making a purchase like that. How ditzy!!
When buying a used car remember buyer beware. An as is car is exactly what it is as is.💯
I bought my 2000 Honda civic 3 yrs ago from Craigslist. She had only 37000 original miles. Looked in beautiful condition. Original owner rarely used it since he lived right across the st from his workplace. It is still running strong!
If you are buying a car and the seller mentions a LEAK anywhere in the car...DONT DO IT!!! Unless you are a very experienced mechanic dont do it. There is no leak thats an easy fix or easy whatever!
Hmmm . . . years ago I was selling a car. I had just had the oil changed. Someone came to test drive it, and we both noticed a burning smell. When we got back to my house, there was an oil leak. I explained that it hadn't been there before, and that it must have something to do with the oil change. She didn't believe me and walked away (I don't blame her). I took it back to the place that had changed the oil, and they hadn't screwed on the filter properly. They tightened it, and the leak stopped. It was months before I found another buyer, and I got almost $2,000 less than what I'd been asking (the first woman had mentioned she thought the price was great, before she test drove the car). So, those mechanics neglecting to screw a filter on properly most likely cost me $2K. But my point is, an oil leak isn't necessarily ALWAYS a difficult fix.
At 2:21 she says “he explains to me everything that is wrong with the car” followed by “which is absolutely nothing” I’m surprised JM didn’t stop her right there and ask her to list what she was told. There’s no denying she knew the car had issues
I have a BMW X1; went good for 1 year, and then rear brakes for 1700
"Everything worked when I bought it"...."supposedly" thereafter 🙄 It's 22 years old! As is sale!
Did y'all hear the reason he file a countersuit? 🤣🤣🤣
Hi jury. Good evening.
Good evening Juror 🤚🏽
Hello from mountain Maryland. 🥂
What a cute car!!! 🚙
Everyone wants a fancy German car but does little to no research and understands that when they break it is not a $30.00 idiotzone fix.
I never buy a car with a drop top, sun roof, electric start because that's just another thing to break or have issues with it. So I have always purchased the basic car that I am able to work on myself.
as is!
Why do people always sue for emotional stress? I'll never understand lol...
She just needs to get the car repaired .....she bought used LUXURY car so she should already know ANY repairs will be above normal.
Who did the defendant punch at the end of the case?!? 🤣🤣🤣
roscoe
Whenever you buy a USED car don't just look at the exterior have your mechanic(someone you trust)look at the entire vehicle. Don't ever! buy a car with your heart and never trust the seller! 'AS IS' means what ever problems the car has is your problem.
I feel no sympathy for the Plaintiff- completely ignorant to buy a used German car without taking it to a mechanic or getting a written warranty. To top that off, the Plaintiff tries to sue for emotional distress?! What a train wreck.
She tried to play airhead role to gain sympathy but unfortunately for her no one cares😂
The fact she uses nonsense words like "blaze splee" tells me all I need to know about her😅
Boo hoo poor plaintiff. She's ridiculous. Poor me in the beginning. What does that have to do with buying a AS IS car. She looks high maintenance.
I don't feel sorry for her Doug. I surely don't.
I know😂🤣 I was thinking the same thing!
Douglas seems smitten with the Plantiff 😄
I think he was amused by her idiocy.
you think him a fool?
And one time at band camp...🤦🏻♀️
AS IS unless there's a warranty
Buys a 20+ year old convertible Benz? Might as well flush her cash down the toilet. 💸💸
plaintiff needs to grow up
You know the ending to this one.
Can anyone tell me how a person can wear huge-ass fake eyelashes with the added weight (though meager, naturally) of crystals? That's quite an accomplishment, I think. I dunno... I can't even wear mascara without rubbing my eyes into raccoon eyes. 🤣 Some of y'all must have good control of not messing with your eyes. I guess you get used to it. I've never been one to wear make-up... maybe just eyeliner, mascara, and blush for very special occasions, which are few because I avoid social outings. I'm a stick in the mud - but I'm old... I've had enough fun in my six-plus decades. I'll just kick back, thank you. 😅 But I do admire peeps who can keep make-up applied w/o streaking their faces. 🙂🤩
Welcome to club
😅😅😅
I don’t know how they do the fake lashes. I’d rather stick to my fiber lash mascara & not glue my eyes shut applying fake lashes.
they look like dead bugs - and I have this urge to wipe them off to help a person ! they are the ugliest makeup trend in a long time
@@RileyCullen1 That would be me - gluing my eyes shut, having to call my son to drive me to the ER. 😅
Boo freaking hoo. Buy a car you can afford to fix.
I think she did nit know how to properly operate it and maybe broke it faster then it would of broke 🥴
Those cars are trash in general..never buy this model of car..
What does her past relationship have to do with it
When you buy a 22 year old car, what do you expect? The plaintiff seemed to think it was showroom new. #nottoobright
not convinced defendant is a "he". also, what is it with people buying piece of junk cars?
I see a lot of people comes to this court suing for EMOTIONAL DAMAGE
And pain & suffering on a contracts case 😂🤣😂🤣
They often think being annoyed is what emotional damage is.
Emotional damage/distress is more equivalent to someone going through something traumatic (for example a stabbing or a severe car crash) and has to get mental health treatment or hospitalized as a result.
It’s 2023. Learn about “as is”
nice car ! worth paying the 3g
😂😂😂😂not old enough to vote …. Bye girl
No, I don’t feel sorry for her.
Double up arrows for the counter claim too.
