Frankly Mugabe, the story sounds made up to me. Are you out to score some attention? First you say you do not need the car and now you say that your current car is showing signs of needing replacement. You are modifying events to fit the situation. Whether you are a bull shitter or a fool that people can manipulate you do not make yourself look good.
And as the older saying goes:
Technically speaking, all cars show signs that they need to be replaced as soon as they leave the showroom. If getting scammed is really your concern then you have to learn to look at things from a purely financial perspective, which you did not do here. You should only replace things when they actually need it i.e. the repair and / or down time costs far outweighs the replacement cost.
It would be a scam because the add was structured in a way to imply that $120 special include bj/fs. Note however that (1) it was the information about the "product" not about the "seller" (however, in case of SP the "seller" is a "product" in some sense, so, information about girl's looks would be considered as information about the product while information about the number of girl's siblings would be an information about the seller) and (2) the add was structured in a way to purposely say something about the service that any reasonable reader assume is true but it is not. Teh latter is a grey zone. In any advertising, it should be a small footnote with a fine print "special is for basic services only". Such ad would be similar to a toothpaste add that say "approved by doctors"
This
Yes you did get scammed.
Later it turns out that she has a job after all and you were not told the complete truth.
The truth of the matter is that it was costing her a parking space or the expense of a parking space and it was not insured therefor vulnerable to theft or vandalism.
Why would she sell it if she can get a patsy to do all the work for her?
Her shill was doing a good job for her. He was going to get fucked for the deal ( sex ) if he fucks you first. ( scammed )
He told you a lie. She was not unemployed as he previously told you.
She is not broke and has a new car. It was her fuck buddy that was conning you.
I think by this time you have figured it out and know this too is a lie.
He called you to reassure you so that if he needs to scam you in the future he can call you up play you like a puppet.
You swallowed it hook line and sinker and the hook is coming out of your ass. I think she bought a new car and refused the dealers offer for the old car as a trade in because the trade price was low. She passed the job of selling the car on to her fuck buddy and he figured he would pawn the car off an a chump he knows ( you ) for a quick sale.
