The stereotype of the sleazy salesman is one that holds very true to reality. There are far too many people in the trade who will do anything it takes to close a sale and there are also far too many industries breeding these manipulators. Part of it is the fault of commission-based work: When you work with no guarantee of consistent pay, you're likely to turn to drastic methods to put food on the table. You usually then realize that there's no ceiling to your income as long as you can close an infinite amount of sales to achieve it.
To further this idea: The culture in these industries will often encourage a "hustler" mindset, where everyone shares the ultimate goal of living the high-earner lifestyle of their idols.
Well, this shady car salesman went as far as committing fraud when they were determined to close the sale on Redditor u/redditadmindumb87's friend. Luckily u/redditadmindumb87 had more sense and managed to get their friend out of the deal using the apparent fraud as leverage, landing their friend a newer car in the process.
