This twisted story finally got a happy ending as the man who got a Chinese scam car after spending $31,000 on an electric sports car finally bought an actual Lamborghini supercar two years later.

The scam car in question was precisely what it sounded like — he didn’t get what he ordered.

After shedding thirty thousand dollars and a nasty aftermath, this guy turned things around.

It was all thanks to his love for cars and the hard work he put in.

How he got scammed with a $31,000 sports car

Meet YouTuber The Inja, who spent $31,000 a few years ago on an electric sports car from China.

Instead of the Mullen Qiantu K50, he received a kei car — which certainly was a heartbreaking scam.

He documented the entire delivery process and its first drive, and while it seemed like fun and games, it wasn’t a sports EV.

The seller even proposed to provide a rather shady refund, but we’re unsure how things ended there.

Anyway, according to another video from 2022 on the YouTuber’s channel, he finally managed to get an actual supercar.

The supercar in question would be a 2008 Lamborghini Gallardo with 19,000 miles on the odometer.

The Lamborghini supercar of his dreams

Now, before you criticize the choice, hear out the car’s history.

It’s been through quite a few owners but was garaged for the majority of the time.

The YouTuber would also miss out on the latest offerings of the tech world in modern supercars, and not to mention the high maintenance costs on older Lambos.

However, there’s only one thing to focus on here.

He got a supercar, and a Lamborghini at that.

Say what you will, but the 5.0-liter V10 powerhouse is an iconic engine even today and produces an almighty 523 horsepower.

If anything, that’s certainly a worthy upgrade from the stupidly expensive kei car.

Enthusiasts getting their dream cars is a remarkable sight, just like this man who built his dream car himself.
