"I never got a phone call from you" - And would you imagine that?

Total negotiation and operation in bad faith on their end. I'd be naming and shaming that dealer, so hats off to you for being bigger than that.

Yes, this car was on Oahu years back. The owner would drive it to Ala Moana and drink all night at the bars on the forth floor. At the end of his evening, he and his new chicks he met would catch a taxi home together and he'd have his guy watch over the car through the night: he had personal security for his Lamborghini. I was a bartender and remember he was very nice to everyone around and tipped generously. That was almost 10 years ago.

This story sounds a lot like my first Lamborghini purchase years ago. The sellers started out being very nice, open & honest but soon things changed for the worse. It turned out the car was owned by 3 siblings who couldn’t agree on anything. I’m amazed they managed to even buy a car between them then I learned they inherited the car from their dad & its was just one small part of a very large estate their dad had left them. He should’ve left everything to charity because his kids were the most horribly spoiled,ungrateful sh1ts ever to have drawn breath.

To be fair, from a business perspective, it sounds like they received a better offer and gave you the opportunity to close your transaction while keeping the other option available. Hence the quick timeline. They likely offered to the other buyer "If the deal doesn't transact by X date, we will sell you the car" and they kept their word in both cases. With this being said, I love your channel though I feel this one was on you. best of luck on the next deal.

Making someone jump through hoops, like THIS is what you do if your dealing with some shady character that nobody can vouch for. EVERYBODY ON KZitem SHOULD KNOW ABOUT John from Curated!!!!! Seriously, what a childish immature Unprofessional way to conduct BUSINESS. ISN'T THE PURPOSE OF THIS WHOLE STINKING ORDEAL TO JUST SELL THE DANG CAR?!? SERIOUSLYYYYY? Even after this, you still tried to work it out with them, even offered more money and they still said NO. Oh I'm ABSOLUTELY LIVID! LoL the more I think about this, the more this seems like someone INTENTIONALLY being vindictive just so they can watch someone have something SO CLOSE, something SO INCREDIBLE that they worked SO hard for, to then have it literally RIPPED FROM THEIR HANDS and passed off to some other shmuck that just showed up OUTTA NOWHERE. John, Brother, YOU handled this SO MUCH better than I would have. I Truly BELIEVE that Everything happens FOR A REASON. This deal didn't work out FOR A REASON BRO! There's a reason, I promise! Keep on moving! Keep on looking, I CAN'T WAIT to see what God works out for you to have Instead of this car! Brother I LOVE your Passion, the people you surround yourself with, the way YOU treat people & the way YOU do business attracts nothing but the BEST people to You.

John, you don't seem to understand how a jinx works. It's not "I told my wife, I told... I was getting a loan, and getting this car... but I didn't want to jinx it, so I didn't tell anyone at Curated." If you "don't want to jinx it," you tell NO ONE outside of the process, not just the people at Curated. The minute you told your wife, you had counted your chickens before the eggs had hatched, and it wasn't going to happen... Next time tell no one. Besides, you personally might not be used to this fact, but you can't always get what you want. You tell alot about the level of privelege you've had in your life, by having your "feelings hurt" by this. Regardless, I do respect the fact that you're not overly litigious, even though taking the whole "priveleged" thing into consideration, I suspect it was more because the cost of the lawsuit coupled with the cost of the car (plus time and effort), put the gross cost of the transaction above the budget ceiling for the car.

John you did not close the deal as stated in contract. As a business man you know this. Closing the deal does not mean texting a screen shot that the money is sent on the contract expire date. Like the lady said you should have called her earlier in the week if you knew the contract would not be closed in time. You always twist the story to seem it was always the other person's fault while trying to sound sincere and genuine. Good on the lady for selling the car for the higher price and sticking to her word.

It beg's the question if someone else found out about this deal in your circle and then reached out to this person and bought it under your feet.
