  • December 18, 2020

Car Salesman Put to Shame! is an episode from the 25th season of the popular courtroom reality show, Judge Judy. In this episode, the plaintiff, a young woman named Jessica, is suing a used car salesman named John for selling her a faulty car that broke down only a few days after she bought it.

Jessica explains to Judge Judy that she was in desperate need of a car and found John's dealership online. She went to the dealership and test drove a car that she liked. John assured her that the car was in good condition and even showed her a Carfax report that indicated that there were no accidents or major repairs. Jessica trusted John and purchased the car for $5,000.

However, just a few days later, the car broke down on the side of the road. Jessica had to spend $1,500 to get it fixed, and the mechanic told her that the car had several serious mechanical problems that should have been caught in a proper inspection.

John insists that he did nothing wrong and that the car was in good condition when he sold it to Jessica. He argues that it was her responsibility to have the car inspected before buying it and that he is not liable for any damages.

However, Judge Judy is not convinced. She asks John why he did not disclose the issues with the car to Jessica, and he admits that he knew about them but did not think they were significant enough to mention. Judge Judy points out that this is fraud and that John is liable for any damages that resulted from the sale.

During the course of the trial, it becomes clear that John has a history of shady business practices. Several other customers testify that he sold them faulty cars and made false promises about the condition of the vehicles.

In the end, Judge Judy rules in favor of Jessica and orders John to reimburse her for the repairs she had to make to the car, as well as the lost wages and other expenses she incurred as a result of not having a working vehicle. She also orders John to pay a steep fine for his fraudulent behavior and warns him that he will be facing criminal charges if he continues to engage in these types of business practices.

Overall, Car Salesman Put to Shame! is a powerful reminder of the importance of honesty and integrity in business, and the consequences that can result from fraudulent behavior. It is a cautionary tale for anyone who is considering purchasing a used car, and a reminder that it is always important to do your due diligence and thoroughly research any business or individual before making a purchase.
