      Autobuy advertises they beat any price & pay the **** Now I know I sold my car to this company under false pretenses. ***** advised me to provide him with an offer from a ***************** will beat the price. When I provided him with the offer from ********. He said he had to speak with his manager to get me $*****. Days later ***** advises he knows the sales manager at Carvana; States they used to work together. ***** also stated he used to own a car lot. He stated he shared his companys (Autobuy) appraisers findings with sales manager at Carvanna. He dishonestly stated ******* said they will pass based off the information he shared with them. ******** offered a little over $1800. Autobuy offered )***** to beat *******, but paid me only $1,000 after their pick up fee claiming that is the most they will pay since Carvana is no longer interested. I sold my car to Autobuy for $1,000 based off ****** dishonesty and shady practice. To date Carvanna is still sending me offers. ******** also states they do not recall any conversation with *****. This is so Unfair. Im 73 years old. I am on a fixed income. I needed the money. I had no reason to feel ***** would dishonestly scam me. This is so unfair. What would make ***** think it is fair game to treat me like this & take advantage of me. . I tried reaching out to the alleged owner, *****. He was playing mind games, not receptive, & appeared to be biased and defensive of ****** actions. In my opinion ***** promotes and welcomes ********* salesman business practices. ***** did state he had to speak with his manager to beat ***************. Perhaps that was *****. I feel ***** is a pretender, phoney, and is also a part of this Bait and Switch, false pretense, and false advertisement sales tactic. I also feel ***** was not receptive at all to this issue. ***** tried interrogating me and my daughter as if he was a superior judge.. However, We can go to court if we cant get resolved here.

      Beware of this company. They use your personal information to steal your identity. They make you an offer on your car and request all your personal information to come back and tell you that the offer is not good anymore after they already had stolen your identity. I had to go to police and file a criminal report against **** Tackitos.
