00:00You bought a used truck.
00:02I drove it home and it started having serious issues.
00:04No, he told us everything was perfectly fine.
00:07Did you try to get your money back from her?
00:09She blocked me instantly, no response.
00:12She stated to me when I purchased the vehicle,
00:14telling me everything's good.
00:15Why are you trusting a seller of a used car?
00:19I mean, they really sold me.
00:20Her mom said she'd been crying all day
00:22about selling the car because she didn't want to sell it.
00:24So she was crying when you came there,
00:27but she was laughing when you left.
00:30Now on Tribunal Justice.
00:55Today's case was filed in McMinnville, Oregon.
00:58Your Honor, this is case number 3040
01:01in the matter of Robinson versus Boghossian.
01:04Thank you, Cassandra.
01:05You may be seated.
01:06Okay, Mr. Robinson, looks like you bought a used truck
01:09from the defendant, Ms. Boghossian, correct?
01:12Correct.
01:13How old are you?
01:13I just turned 18.
01:15Super.
01:15And Ms. Busser, you are who to the defendant?
01:18Her mother.
01:19Her mom.
01:19Okay, good.
01:20So you bought a used truck from the defendant, Ms. Boghossian,
01:23and she described that truck as running in top-notch condition
01:27and no significant problems.
01:29Yes, Your Honor.
01:30Turns out, though, that the truck had major problems
01:33that made it unsafe to drive.
01:35And while you bought that vehicle from the defendant for $15,000,
01:39you're only suing for $10,000 here
01:41because that's our jurisdictional limit.
01:42Yes, Your Honor.
01:43All right.
01:43And Ms. Boghossian, that truck that you sold,
01:45you said was a gift from your dad?
01:47Correct, Your Honor.
01:48That you had it inspected, or your mom had it inspected
01:51by a licensed mechanic prior to selling it,
01:54and that mechanic fixed all of the issues with the engine.
01:58Correct.
01:58You say the lawsuit should be dismissed because,
02:01number one, it was a used truck,
02:03and therefore it was sold in as-is condition?
02:06Um, correct, and also it was in perfect running condition
02:10when I sold it.
02:11All right.
02:12Perfect running condition.
02:13And therefore, any problems with the truck
02:16after you sold it must have been caused by the plaintiff.
02:19Yes, correct.
02:20Got it.
02:20So, Mr. Robinson, it's a used car, as-is.
02:24Yeah, I understand what as-is means,
02:27Right.
02:27Yes, Your Honor.
02:27So, regardless of just about anything
02:30that the defendant says, the seller says,
02:34most buyers in your position have very little recourse.
02:38So, how do you plan on overcoming that huge legal burden?
02:43Well, Your Honor, for one,
02:44I did not sign anything that says it was sold as-is.
02:46Doesn't have to.
02:47Used cars are all sold as-is,
02:49unless otherwise stated or unless the sellers provide a warranty,
02:53which you did not, correct?
02:54Correct.
02:55All right.
02:55Give me another one.
02:56So, when I purchased the vehicle, I drove it home and it started having serious issues.
03:00She stated to me when I purchased the vehicle that she just had about $6,000 worth of work performed
03:06on it by a diesel mechanic.
03:07And so, my thinking is the first thing to do is call the mechanic since they told me that all
03:11the work that was just done was under warranty.
03:13He's a super good mechanic.
03:14He knows the truck better than they do.
03:16It's all taken care of.
03:18Her mom was patting me on the back the whole time telling me everything's good.
03:20If you have any problems, just call him.
03:22He'll take care of you.
03:23And did you say that the work that you had done was warrantied?
03:25No, sir.
03:26You did not.
03:27Okay.
03:27Let's take a look at this truck, though, if we could, please.
03:29That's one good-looking truck.
03:32Nice, shiny.
03:32It was like a shiny penny.
03:35Ms. Bogosian?
03:36Yes.
03:36That's a big truck.
03:37How old were you when you got that truck, when your dad gave it to you?
03:40I was 16 years old.
03:4216 years old?
03:42Yes.
03:43How did you even get into that truck?
03:44You're 16 years old.
03:46Well, my whole life, my dad had massive trucks, so I kind of just learned.
03:50Okay.
03:51You sold it when?
03:52What was the date that you sold it?
03:56September 22nd, I believe.
03:57Of 24?
03:58Yes, correct.
03:58And when did your dad buy it?
04:00I am not sure.
04:02I would say approximately two years before I had it.
04:05So we had it since about 2022?
04:06Yeah, maybe around there.
04:09Tell me about this ad right now, please, sir.
04:11Was it the defendant who was listing this on the marketplace, or was it someone else?
04:15So it's kind of interesting.
04:16I'm thinking I'm talking to somebody named James Bogo, a man, and I'm having a conversation
04:21with this James during the day before I go and meet for the truck, and then I show up
04:25and there's her standing in the driveway with her whole family outside, and that man that's
04:30in the pictures for the ad is nowhere to be found.
04:32And then I show up, and it's actually her that's selling the truck using a different
04:35Facebook for whatever reason.
04:37Let's take a look at 09, please.
04:40Was this the ad?
04:41This is my ad.
04:42Yes, correct.
04:43So on the right, it says James Bogo on the bottom.
04:46Who's James Bogo?
04:47So that is my father.
04:49As we know, I was 17.
04:50I wasn't old enough to have a Facebook marketplace account.
04:54Why not use your mom?
04:56I don't know.
04:57I just used my father's.
04:59Okay.
04:59Your dad's not here.
05:00Where's your dad?
05:01How come he's not here?
05:02My dad is in prison.
05:04Oh, okay.
05:04I'm sorry.
05:05So you put down what you put down on it as far as the condition because that's what
05:09the mechanic told you, right?
05:10Yes, correct.
05:11All right.
05:11When you went there, sir, to see this vehicle, you saw it on the ad.
05:15Did you communicate with who you believe to be James Bogo?
05:17Yes.
05:18I was thinking I was talking to James Bogo the whole time until I got there.
05:20When you say talking, were you on the phone with them?
05:22Just on Messenger.
05:23All right.
05:23So what'd you do?
05:24You drove out to see the vehicle?
05:25Yes, Your Honor.
05:26I went with my 73-year-old landlord.
05:28He sat in his van the whole time and he had a big light in front of his van basically
05:31because
05:31we got there and it was about 9, 9.30 at night when we got there, I believe.
05:35So he was kind of my light so I could check out the truck better.
05:38Okay.
05:39And you decided to make an offer on the truck?
05:41We'd already, me and Aubrey had already discussed an offer.
05:44She wouldn't go lower than $15,000.
05:46Okay.
05:46So it was listed for $17,000?
05:48Yeah.
05:49And she stuck to her guns at $15,000?
05:51Yeah.
05:51Yes.
05:51Because you had a perfect running truck and you knew what the value was.
05:55Okay.
05:57Coming up on Tribunal Justice.
06:00Saying it's a great truck and it runs great.
06:02That's puffery.
06:03That's salesmanship.
06:05Salespeople do that all the time.
06:07Okay.
06:07So tell me something that was specifically untrue.
06:16Justin Robinson is suing Aubrey Bregosian and her mom, Alyssa Busser, for $10,000.
06:21Justin claims they sold him a truck that was too dangerous to drive.
06:25But Aubrey and Alyssa say it was an as-is sale and they never misrepresented anything.
06:30It was listed for $17,000?
06:32Yeah.
06:32And she stuck to her guns at $15,000?
06:35Yeah.
06:35Yes.
06:35Because you had a perfect running truck and you knew what the value was.
06:38Correct.
06:39All right.
06:39So you take it for a test drive.
06:41Correct, yes.
06:42And where'd you do that?
06:43So how the test drive worked, she drove the truck first.
06:45She had her whole family in the car.
06:46So I'm in the passenger seat.
06:48She's in the driver's seat.
06:49She drove us around a couple neighborhoods for like five, ten minutes and asked if I wanted
06:52to drive it once she got back.
06:53I said, sure.
06:53So I have no idea where I am.
06:55I have no idea what city I am.
06:56This is an hour and a half away from my house.
06:58Everything seems fine on the test drive.
07:00Nothing seems weird because she's taking me through all these little neighborhoods and
07:02stuff.
07:03She doesn't take me on a highway or anything like that.
07:05Is that correct?
07:05Um, I offered to go on the highway.
07:08He did not want to.
07:09Why would I not?
07:10Yeah.
07:10Why would he not want to do that?
07:11He's paying $15,000 for a vehicle and he would want to see how it is when it gets up
07:16to
07:16speed, especially a 2005 truck.
07:19I'm 100% sure.
07:20He's lying, I offered to go on the highway because it's right around the corner from
07:24my house.
07:25And he said, no, it feels good.
07:27Everything feels good.
07:29That was it.
07:29You're sticking to your guns again, right?
07:31Mom, is that right?
07:32Yeah.
07:33Okay, that's fine.
07:34So you decide to buy the truck and now you give her the $15,000.
07:38Does she give you a bill of sale or a receipt?
07:40So we just did like a DMV report for a bill of sale once I purchased the truck.
07:44Okay.
07:44Did she provide the title to the truck?
07:46Yes, she did, Your Honor.
07:47And what if any other paperwork did she provide?
07:49Uh, just the receipt from the mechanic who just performed all the work on the truck.
07:54Can we see 04, please?
07:57And total amount of money that was spent was $4,000?
08:01Yes, Your Honor.
08:02Okay.
08:02Ms. Bogosian, is that accurate?
08:04Yeah, correct.
08:04And that's all the work that was done?
08:06Yes, correct.
08:07And there was no other work that was suggested that be done by the mechanic?
08:11Nothing else?
08:12He suggested, but the stuff that he suggested is aftermarket.
08:18It's not necessary and it costs about $10,000.
08:21And what was it that he was recommending?
08:23It's called bulletproofing.
08:25Pretty much you put studs in the head to make sure nothing ever goes wrong.
08:30Was something going wrong?
08:31No.
08:32So nothing was wrong with the head gaskets that you were aware of?
08:35No, it just wasn't studded and it was getting high in miles and he was like, you guys can
08:39do it if you want, but it was not something that was necessary.
08:42Okay.
08:43So you buy it and then you're on the drive home.
08:46Yes.
08:46Tell us what happened.
08:47So when I initially went on the test drive and she was driving at first, I noticed the
08:51check engine light was on.
08:52So I asked her when she was giving the test drive, there's a check engine light.
08:55Do you know what's going on with that?
08:56And she said, honestly, I don't know.
08:57And then her stepdad in the backseat's like, I have a code reader we could plug in real
09:01quick and check it out if you want before you buy it.
09:02I was like, that'd be super helpful.
09:03I'd love that.
09:04So we plug in the code reader.
09:05The code reader says it's like a sensor for like an exhaust or something like that.
09:10And I'm thinking, okay, that's probably not a huge issue.
09:14We could still go through with it.
09:15And then I go home and I'm driving home.
09:17The truck is what's called surging.
09:19So the RPMs are just up and down, up and down, super loud.
09:22It sounds like the turbo is just kicking on and off, on and off the whole drive home,
09:25hour and a half.
09:26I'm extremely worried the motor is going to blow the whole way home.
09:30First thing I did in the morning was call the mechanic.
09:32He basically told me the truth about the truck.
09:34Okay.
09:34So I want to hear this, but I also want to make it clear.
09:37What someone else told you who was not in court to testify is typically considered hearsay.
09:42I am accepting your testimony, not for the truth of what the man said,
09:46but simply for your state of mind as to what you did afterwards.
09:49Do you follow that?
09:50Okay.
09:51So what did the mechanic tell you?
09:52So he told me that it needs new head gaskets.
09:55He just did a bunch of work on it.
09:57And Aubrey and her mom couldn't afford the work that needed to be done to it.
10:01So they bargained on price.
10:02They had the truck towed over there.
10:04They had a box full of used parts, NAPA parts, all kinds of parts that aren't even supposed to go
10:08in that truck.
10:09And he was very specific with them and they just basically had him patch up the truck
10:14so they could get it onto the next guy and sell it.
10:16And it was running.
10:17Don't get me wrong, but is it running like it's supposed to or safely?
10:20No, not at all.
10:21So what you claim the mechanic said was that when the defendant and her mom brought the vehicle in
10:27or one of them or both of them brought it in, it was toting because it was not running.
10:31Yes, Your Honor.
10:32And it needed a lot of work.
10:34Yes, Your Honor.
10:34True or false?
10:36True.
10:36True.
10:37Okay.
10:37You said the mechanic provided them with a list of items that needed to be fixed,
10:41including new head gaskets, not one of those bulletproofing stuff, new head gaskets.
10:46Yes, Your Honor.
10:47No.
10:47He told us everything was perfectly fine.
10:50I mean, if it needed head gaskets, we wouldn't have taken it back.
10:54You know something about cars, right?
10:55Yeah, it's a big deal.
10:56It's a big deal.
10:56Yeah.
10:57Yeah.
10:57So according to what the plaintiff is saying is that the mechanic told you that it needed
11:03new head gaskets and you ignored his recommendation, fixed none of the head gasket problems, the
11:10engine problems, and instead only authorized repairs like we saw to get the truck running
11:16so it could be sold.
11:17That's what he's saying the mechanic said.
11:18Is that true or false?
11:19That is false.
11:20False.
11:20I got it.
11:21And according to what I heard you say a moment ago, you said the mechanic also told you
11:25that that truck should not be driven with a blown head gasket.
11:28It wasn't safe.
11:29Yes.
11:30The motor could blow up, potentially.
11:32Did the mechanic say that he told the defendant the same thing, that it wasn't safe?
11:36Yes, Your Honor.
11:37Do you admit that or do you deny that?
11:39I deny that.
11:41Coming up on Tribunal Justice.
11:44He's selling the truck.
11:45You can read right here.
11:46He says, truck sounds like a jet and has plenty of power.
11:50So, who is being dishonest here?
11:59Defendants Aubrey Boghossian and her mom, Melissa Busser, are being sued by Justin Robinson for
12:04$10,000.
12:05Justin claims the defendants lied about the condition of a truck he bought from them, but
12:09Aubrey says Justin came, saw, and bought the truck as is, so they owe nothing.
12:14Let's take a look at the video of the truck, the 30-second video of the truck, please.
12:20Sir, this is you taking this video?
12:22Yes, Your Honor.
12:22And if you look, you'll see the mileage is pretty identical on all my documentation and
12:26that it never changed much throughout my ownership.
12:28I didn't drive the truck anywhere except for to shops, so.
12:31And that was 152,000 miles?
12:33Yes, Your Honor.
12:33Great.
12:33Let's play the video.
12:49Can I speak on that?
12:51Yes, please.
12:52I, that was, no.
12:54I drove that truck every day to school, to the store, to run errands.
12:58Well, time out.
12:58You just said, though, that the truck had to be towed to the mechanics.
13:01Yeah, no, after the mechanic is what, is what I'm talking about.
13:04But what was wrong with it?
13:06Um, so when it first went in, we weren't sure what's wrong with it.
13:09That's why we took it to the mechanic, because we have mechanic family friends, and they didn't
13:14know, so we took it to a shop, and pretty much everything that was wrong is what is on the
13:20receipt, that we couldn't figure out.
13:22All right.
13:22Thank you so much, Judge Acker.
13:23Thank you, Judge.
13:24Is this the first vehicle that you've ever sold?
13:27Oh, yes, ma'am.
13:28See, to me, it absolutely made sense.
13:30I didn't know the rules about Facebook Marketplace, I assumed, because I've never sold anything
13:34on the market.
13:35You're a minor, but there are all kinds of reasons why a 17-year-old young woman isn't
13:40going to advertise herself when she's trying to do a deal in public.
13:43Like, you could attract all kinds of nuts.
13:46The world is crazy.
13:47True.
13:48True facts.
13:49So, sir, it's 9 o'clock at night.
13:52Why were you in such a hurry?
13:54Uh, it wasn't really so much a hurry.
13:55It was just I wanted a truck.
13:56I needed a truck for work, but it wasn't like I needed one right now.
13:59I wanted one right now.
14:00If that's the case, why are you buying a truck that you don't test drive sufficiently?
14:06Why are you taking it to the mechanic after the fact?
14:08Why are you checking the codes after the fact?
14:11These are all things that if you're buying a used car, you should do before.
14:17How old are you?
14:17You're not a tiny 17-year-old.
14:19You're right.
14:19Is this the first car you've ever purchased?
14:21No.
14:21And so you certainly know that when you buy a car from someone else, there are things
14:26that one should reasonably do to make sure it's in good working order.
14:30And I did.
14:30And you know, we did go for a test drive.
14:32The only thing we didn't do was go on a highway.
14:33Again, I had no idea where I was.
14:35She said she lives by a highway.
14:37But as far as I know, we were like half an hour from a highway or so.
14:40So then you know what?
14:41You have to go back tomorrow.
14:42You're about to give them a whole lot of money.
14:45What do you do for a living?
14:46I own two detailing businesses.
14:47So you're in the business.
14:48You know what's up with cars.
14:50I mean, frankly, Aubrey, as you were answering Judge Levy, I wanted to say to you, say less.
14:57Yes.
14:57The car wasn't perfect.
14:59Yeah.
14:59It's his job to make sure that the car is roadworthy.
15:02It's your job not to commit any fraud.
15:05Yeah.
15:05So, Mr. Robinson, tell me where the fraud is.
15:08Oh, there's a lot of it.
15:10So after talking to the mechanic, he obviously told me the truth on everything.
15:13Which was?
15:14That it needs new head gaskets.
15:16So?
15:16It needs a lot of other work.
15:16Did she say, I promise you this car doesn't need new head gaskets?
15:20No, but I specifically asked her and her mother before I left.
15:23This is funny.
15:24When I gave her all the money and afterwards, I asked her, now that I bought this truck,
15:28is there anything else I need to know about this truck that you can just tell me right now?
15:31Dude, why are you trusting a seller of a used car?
15:35Why?
15:35I showed up at their house.
15:36They're literally in a nice neighborhood.
15:38Nicest people ever.
15:39Promising me this.
15:40It's all under warranty.
15:41The mechanic knows this truck better than we do.
15:44I mean, they really sold me.
15:45But right now, I just think that you didn't do your due diligence.
15:49And Tiny Aubrey got the better end of the deal.
15:52Tell me why you were selling this car.
15:54So, I'm a senior in high school, and my school requires a senior project.
15:59And I don't have really the funds myself to do what I wanted to do for my senior project,
16:06which was build my car that I have.
16:09For your senior project, you were going to build a car?
16:11I am currently.
16:12You're building a car.
16:13Yes.
16:13What kind of car are you building?
16:15It's a Subaru WRX.
16:17And so, how do you do that?
16:18You just get a used car, and then you rebuild it?
16:20It's been in our family.
16:23My mom and my stepdad drove it for many years before it was mine.
16:26What do you want to do?
16:27When I graduate, I'm going to some sort of trade school.
16:31Yeah.
16:31I haven't decided yet.
16:32So, you know, I'm not trying to take your concerns lightly, Mr. Robinson.
16:37I just think that you did a whole lot of work after the fact that more appropriately should
16:42have been done before the fact.
16:43Saying it's a great truck and it runs great.
16:45That's puffery.
16:47That's salesmanship.
16:48Salespeople do that all the time.
16:51Okay.
16:51So, tell me something that was specifically untrue.
16:55Coming up on Tribunal Justice.
16:58I'm thinking about, you know, how not to buy a car.
17:01Don't do it at night.
17:02Don't bring a mechanic with you.
17:04And you negotiated the price before you even saw the car.
17:08And so, you did nothing but play into her hand.
17:17Justin Robinson wants $10,000 from Aubrey Bogosian and her mom, Melissa Busser, after he bought
17:23their truck.
17:24Justin claims it was a mechanical mess, but Aubrey claims there was nothing wrong after
17:29a mechanic fixed everything.
17:30And Justin bought it as is.
17:33Saying it's a great truck and it runs great.
17:35That's puffery.
17:37That's salesmanship.
17:39Salespeople do that all the time.
17:41Okay.
17:41So, tell me something that was specifically untrue.
17:44So, just right here on our ad for the post in general, it says, I plan on keeping the
17:49truck.
17:49Truck runs top-notch with plenty of power.
17:52With the truck having the problems it has, it clearly doesn't run top-notch or have the
17:56power it's supposed to.
17:57It might run top-notch for a truck with, what, 150,000 miles that's had a bunch of modifications
18:02and Doug worked on it.
18:05Buyer beware.
18:06As is.
18:06That's the standard unless you can show fraud.
18:08You know, it's, like, suggesting you could say, like, this is, like, the best gavel ever.
18:13You know what?
18:14You should buy this gavel.
18:14This is the best gavel ever.
18:16I've never had a gavel like this.
18:17No one's got a gavel as good as this.
18:20I do.
18:21Exactly.
18:22Exactly.
18:23Exactly.
18:24I mean, I don't disagree with you.
18:25I probably should have had it checked out by a mechanic first.
18:27But as soon as I showed up, her mom said she'd been crying all day about selling the car
18:30because it has so much sentimental value to her and she didn't want to sell it.
18:33I mean, there's so many things that they've really just, like, I'm just like, I really
18:36fell for it all, you know?
18:37I feel like you got plagued.
18:38I really, really did.
18:40I talked to the mechanic the next morning and I just felt like I got stabbed in the stomach.
18:44I was like, are you serious right now?
18:45I don't know that you say, like, she's crying, but by the same token, when you're like, okay,
18:50can you sell?
18:50She's like, no, $15,000.
18:52She drove a hard bargain.
18:53Yeah.
18:54Were you going to say something, mom?
18:55Yes, so Mr. Robinson pointed out that the truck has no power, but in Mr. Robinson's,
19:04he's selling the truck.
19:06He has the truck posted for sale.
19:08You can read right here, he says, all work has been done in diesel shop, have receipts
19:12for work done.
19:14Truck sounds like a jet and has plenty of power.
19:17So, who is being dishonest here?
19:21Because you're making representations to the public that it's got great power.
19:25And that's not necessarily true because in the pictures of that ad, I don't know if
19:28they posted the pictures of all those, I had receipts from the mechanic that they gave
19:32me and I have receipts from my mechanic once I took it to my mechanic as well.
19:36And I also have messages from all kinds of different people that I provided you guys
19:39for evidence that shows me being very honest with people trying to buy the vehicle.
19:43I am going to end where I started, which is when you buy a used vehicle, it is incumbent
19:49on the buyer to do the due diligence and do the inspections and ensure that the car
19:53is working properly.
19:55I'm going to further add that if you show up and the seller is crying and in tears, maybe
20:01you should take a beat.
20:02Maybe you should take a beat.
20:04Judge Domingo?
20:05So she was crying when you came there, but she was laughing when you left.
20:11Yes.
20:12And, you know, Judge Levy said it was like a shiny penny.
20:15And you know what?
20:16It could have been worth about that as well.
20:18Yeah.
20:19How many cars have you bought and sold in your young career?
20:23Oh, not any for my career, just in my life.
20:25I'm 33.
20:26I've owned a lot of different vehicles in my life.
20:27So it's hard to put a number on it, maybe 15 or so.
20:3015 or so.
20:31Yeah.
20:32It's surprising to me because I'm thinking about all the things that you did that
20:36would be textbook, you know, how not to buy a car.
20:39Yeah.
20:40Don't do it at night.
20:41Yeah.
20:42Don't bring a mechanic with you.
20:44Call her mechanic ahead of time if she says, I have receipts from a mechanic who's going
20:49to warranty.
20:50And you negotiated the price before you even saw the car.
20:54Well, because it was posted for 17 and I didn't want to spend 17 on it.
20:57And she's also an hour and a half away.
20:59So it was like, I wanted to make sure that she was okay with the number that I was willing
21:02to offer before I came out.
21:03If I came over there and had head gaskets or something like that, I would have offered
21:06less or not.
21:07Mr. Robinson, most people expect that the price they put out for anything is going to be cut
21:13down.
21:14I'll bet you all she wanted was 15 for the truck.
21:17Right?
21:17Am I right?
21:18See, I'm right.
21:19Yes.
21:19Because, and so you did nothing but play into her hand.
21:23Almost like a desperateness for you to want this truck.
21:26Why?
21:27What is it?
21:28I didn't even feel like there was a desperateness for me.
21:30I just really wanted a truck and it seemed like a good one at the time to get that.
21:33I had this work done.
21:34You're a guppardos, you're a thickhead.
21:35You are.
21:36You did all these things to make a purchase in the middle of the night and you did nothing
21:40really that would say, well, this guy did his due diligence.
21:43Now, I'm not saying that I like what went on here, but I don't know enough about trucks
21:47or cars to say that, for instance, what her mechanic did, were any of those things not
21:54done?
21:55I really don't know.
21:56No, I'm not a mechanic myself, so I can't look at the engine and say it was this one.
21:59Well, you must have had somebody look at it since then.
22:01Yeah, I did provide documentation for my mechanic as soon as I got her in there.
22:05What did your mechanic say?
22:06She said it had two failed injectors, had blown head gaskets.
22:10I provided evidence for you guys.
22:11And also, didn't she use like Honda parts in this truck that were not working?
22:16Yeah, so there was all kinds of other stuff involved with the suspension.
22:18That's a whole other case of shadiness.
22:20Did you try to get your money back from her?
22:22Yes.
22:23How'd you do that?
22:24Very next morning, as soon as I talked to the mechanic and he got back to me, the first
22:27thing I did is I messaged her and told her, I just found out the truth about the truck.
22:31I really don't appreciate it.
22:32I don't want to get messed out of my money.
22:34Got you.
22:35What'd she say?
22:36She blocked me instantly, deleted the Facebook ad instantly.
22:40I tried texting her because I did grab her phone number before I left.
22:43Yeah.
22:43And so I texted her and I was like, hey, I'm bringing this truck over at 7.
22:47I'd appreciate it if you just worked with me.
22:49No response.
22:50I think we have some videos if you like ring in the doorbell.
22:52He didn't seem threatening.
22:53Why didn't you open the door?
22:54Not at all.
22:55I first came to start where I didn't reply.
22:57So I didn't reply because I was scared.
23:00He seemed really mad.
23:01Well, he was mad.
23:03Yeah.
23:03I mean, I would be.
23:04Yes.
23:04I broke the truck too.
23:05But none of my parents were going to be home that night.
23:09So let's just, she was home alone.
23:10Let's see his efforts.
23:13Hey, if you can hear me, can someone talk to me?
23:18And you were like, what?
23:20Peeping out the window to see if he left yet?
23:21No, I was not home.
23:23You were not home.
23:24Nobody was home?
23:24Nobody was home.
23:25When you saw him at the house, what did you and your mother say to one another?
23:29Like, uh-oh.
23:31No, we were just, we knew he was coming.
23:34Because why would he bring it back if it was working fine?
23:36He was dying to have this car.
23:39He was negotiating before he even saw it.
23:41He really wanted this.
23:43And you still haven't really given me an explanation why.
23:45Because the book value on this car is not $15,000.
23:50Yeah.
23:50It's like half of that.
23:51Well, to be fair, they don't really go for what they blew book for, these trucks.
23:54It's pretty fair for the market.
23:56And the biggest selling point on the truck for me was that it just had $6,000.
23:59Have you sold the truck since you got it?
24:01Have I sold that truck?
24:03Yes, I did.
24:03And how much did you sell it for?
24:04$6,000.
24:05$6,000.
24:06You sold it for what the book value is.
24:07So the bottom line is, so you now have $6,000 on a truck that you paid $15,000 for,
24:12and you're asking us to give you $10,000.
24:15Yeah.
24:15So you kind of almost want to make a profit on this bad deal.
24:18I just want to break even and be fair.
24:21Next time on Tribunal Justice.
24:23You specifically told him that there were no engine problems.
24:26Yeah.
24:27I think we have a witness that we like to bring in.
24:30You recognize him?
24:32The mechanic.
24:33Did you tell him that the truck was not safe to drive?
24:36Yes.
24:36The truck needed a lot of work.
24:38Is there anything about your testimony you want to change?
24:41No.
24:42It all looks really, really bad.
24:46Are you being sued?
24:48Let Tribunal Justice decide your case.
24:51Find us on social media.
25:10And to be fair.
25:16Don't be mean by the traders of справа,
25:19There.
25:19Be good.
25:19Have fun.
25:28We're going to eat.
25:29So now, current Pablo made a new experience.
25:29You
