Influencer Flogs Exotic Cars With Salesmen As Passengers, Sharing The Videos
Read the full story on The Auto Wire
A social media influencer in North Texas has allegedly been taking exotic cars and other high-performance models on test drives from dealerships, flogging them like crazy while helpless salesmen go along for the wild ride. This includes allegedly speeding, performing burnouts in public roads, and other risky behavior. Now he's become the focus of media in the area as well as the Texas Automobile Dealers man in question, Ahmer Saeed, does in fact have these videos all over his social media accounts, although none show who's driving the vehicles. Whoever is driving seems to find it funny to make car salesman angry, anxious, or otherwise freak out while treating the pricey vehicles like personal playthings.
CBS Texas has recently featured two reports on Saeed. As one dealership manager points out, Saeed allegedly takes advantage of salesmen's desire to bag a sale, meaning they might not be as likely to speak out right away as the guy drives recklessly.
For some, the video content is hilarious, possibly allowing them to vicariously get back at car salesmen they believe took advantage of them at one point. But for others it's tacky and goes too far. We're sure readers' opinions will vary.
What we wonder more about is the legality of what Saeed has been accused of doing. After all, whoever is driving in those videos is breaking multiple laws on public roads and has made at least some salesmen fear for their safety, although we couldn't say if that crosses the line into criminal behavior.
There have even been accusations Saeed has held salesmen 'hostage' in the cars.
Saeed did post a video on his Instagram account about CBS Texas' questioning the legality of what he's done. The tone is a little condescending and taunting, even though he admits he's not an attorney. However, he doesn't admit he's the one driving the cars and states all the incidents happened a while ago. He also claims the vehicles incurred zero damage, which apparently makes everything okay. We're unaware of any charges being filed against him, so maybe he's right?
In Summer 2024 the Texas Automobile Dealers Association sent an alert to members, warning them about Saeed. They claim the man pretends to be serious about vehicles he has zero intention of buying, simply to get a test drive so he can record himself flogging the cars.
What do you think? Is taking performance cars on wild test drives, scaring salesmen, then posting videos of that online a good idea? Or is it all just harmless fun?
