For anyone in the business of buying and reselling cars, the last words you want to hear associated with a prospective purchase are “ticking time bomb.” But it appears the countdown is on for a used Acura ILX shown in a viral video in which its owner brags about pulling a fast one on the sales giant CarMax.
The clip from Tennessee resident Judah (@00judah) shows a quick once-around of the car, which he said had served him pretty well since around the time of the Covid lockdown. Since then, it's developed a cocktail of problems, including rod knock, worn tires, and a transmission that needs replacing.
But Judah said this didn’t cause any problems selling it.
“To people thinking about getting rid of a ticking time bomb: the CarMax method does work,” he wrote in the caption of the video that’s been viewed more than 188,000 times.
