Car dealership tries to pull one over on young woman buying a car, she schools them instead and they end up having to buy her a brand new engine: '[They] tried to worm their way out of it, but I knew'

It's 2025, why do car dealerships still think women know nothing about cars? It's like they forget that Google exist. Even if you know nothing about cars, you can do some basic research before going car shopping and know more than car dealerships think you know if you're a girl. What is up with that? Is it part of their job training? Like, "take them seriously if they've got a mustache, if not, take advantage!" Like, pardon?

In this case, the stereotype worked to this woman's advantage—love it when that happens! They tried to pull one over on this woman because she looked like a "young dumb white chick," thinking she wouldn't know anything about how an engine works. Little did they know, she actually knows a lot. In fact, she not only knows that you just sold her a lemon car, she also knows the laws around that. Which means she not only got her car for cheaper, she also now gets a brand new engine from the dealership! She says even four years later the engine is still "singing." They assumed she didn't know that the car would need so much oil and that she wouldn't know that the amount of oil it needed to run was illegal for the roads…

But, oh yes, she did know. She knew very well. And it seemed like she was actually excited about it because she was now able to take advantage of the law and instead of getting a used engine for a good price, she got a brand new engine for free!! If you're going to play dirty games, you have to also be prepared to get dirty results. That's just the way the cookie crumbles! And, hey, car dealerships! Do better.
