Anonymous Expert Car Purchase
Share
Shaan tells a story about buying an expensive car (Escalade) through a Twitter personality called "Car Dealership Guy" without ever seeing it.
"I told the guy I want an Escalade. By the way, hilarious thing - I was like I'm not gonna go test drive these cars or anything, so let me just read the reviews online real quick. But if you search for reviews, you get these SEO optimized websites. So I went to Reddit to see what people are saying.
Let me tell you how people on Reddit feel about car dealerships - the same way that people in prison feel about pedophiles. People on Reddit do not like Escalades. They're like 'I've never met a non-jerk in an Escalade.' They say Escalades are for drug dealers and desperate housewives. And then I was like, 'Hey guys, category number 3 - Indian podcasters here we go.'
So anyways, I bought a car with this guy [Car Dealership Guy]. I spent a lot of money on a car through this guy that I never saw."
