Buyer beware!

That catchphrase exists for a reason…and this is good example of why…

A TikTokker posted a video and showed folks how things with her Dodge Charger went sideways shortly after she bought the car.

The video shows a smoking car and the the text overlay says it all…

It reads, “Bought a Dodge Charger 5 days ago and it caught on fire without even being on.”

In the comments, the woman said that the car was a used 2020 Charger and that no one was hurt in the fire.

The TikTokker said that the fire started because of something wrong with the car’s heated seat.
