He, however, accused the Indiana dealership of concealing crash damage, which, in total, set him back $16,000 in repairs.The BMW purchase-gone-south story was shared on TikTok by Leon Huang. He is a software developer who has seldom posted online, mainly sharing selfies and business information.In a viral clip, Leon went ahead and strayed from his regular content by accusing an Indiana dealership of scamming him. He even called out the dealership by name: Fishers Imports.AdvertisementAdvertisementHow was he scammed? It all started when he bought a 2020 BMW M850I from them.'Near-Perfect Condition'Leon had purchased the vehicle about a month before he uploaded his clip. The BMW set him back $55,131.44.He was told that the vehicle had gone through a flawless inspection. On top of that, known issues such as the battery, the coolant, and even a door ding had been addressed and fixed."To me, it sounded like the car was in near-perfect condition," Leon said. "They were doing everything they could to keep me satisfied as a customer because they were making all those repairs."Issues Pop UpFishers Imports had very positive reviews, so Leon was certain that he was going to get what he paid for. So, he waited for his vehicle to arrive: a 2020 BMW 850i with "the lowest mileage in the entire nation."AdvertisementAdvertisementHowever, when it arrived, he realized he had been allegedly misled. The BMW presented a plethora of issues.The first and worst one of the bunch was leaking struts, which would cost him $7,000 to repair. The second issue was far more complicated, and that, arguably, fed more into his belief that he had been scammed.Five-Figure Repair CostLeon said, "I found out that this car was in a horrible front-end collision that was never reported on the Carfax." He pointed out damage to the active aero grill, which was covered up by what the man called "the worst possible paint job" he had ever seen in his life. He paid $3,000 to fix it.A third issue involved the front brakes. Leon said that the front brake pads measured 3mm, which contradicted the dealership's claim that there were 8mm left. This repair cost him $3,000.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe fourth and final issue involved the car's leather. Leon showed it was warping after only a one-week drive, leading to a full dash replacement, which set him back an additional $3,000.In total, Leon had to pay $16,000 in repairs. He said that Fishers Imports offered a $1,000 reimbursement after he confronted them about the car's condition, but he declined, choosing to call them out online instead.If you want more stories like this, follow Guessing Headlights on Yahoo so you don't miss what's coming next.
