A car flipper spent weeks negotiating a Ford Bronco and drove 40 minutes to collect it, only to find a scratch running the length of the driver's door that he says nobody had mentioned on the phone. The dealership put its promise to fix the scratch in writing then and then handed it back with what looked like touch-up marker in the gouge.

Autologss (@autologss), who documents the wins and losses of his car-flipping and Turo business, laid out the sequence in a five-minute, eight-second video. It has drawn more than 20,700 views and opens with a line that sets the stakes for a channel built on dealer relationships. "Left my first negative review for a dealership," he says.

Ford Bronco: The Car He Was Told Not To Come And See

The first Bronco he wanted sold while he deliberated, which he took on the chin. "I took too long; the car sold. No problem," he says. The dealership sent him others. They settled on an out-the-door price, and when he called ahead, he says he was told to stay home because the vehicle was at another dealership and needed transporting.

When he arrived the next day, he spotted a car that looked like his, with a scratch "going across the entire driver's side door." The salesperson initially walked him in a different direction, which he read as a good sign—until it wasn't.
