Ontario man says he's out $65,000 after his uninsured car was stolen during test drive
CTV
An Ontario man who hoped to make money selling a car using the website Autotrader said he was shocked when the potential buyers looking at his luxury vehicle drove off and stole it.
"I'm out of $65,000, which was everything that I had for my young age of 21 and some money I borrowed from my mother as well," Marco, who asked us not to use his full name out of fear of reprisals from the criminals who stole his car, told CTV News Toronto.
Marco said earlier this year he had hoped to enter into the luxury car business and made a purchase of a 2017 Mercedes Benz GLE63s.
"I had a 2017 Mercedes SUV for sale. A very exotic, expensive SUV. I listed it for sale on Autotrader," Marco said.
The vehicle was not plated or insured when he advertised it, so when someone contacted him to see the car he said he would have to show it to them in a parking lot.
