Andrei Losev At Hot Ride Motors
Pop goes the Weasel Andrei Losev

There is a reason the words "used car salesman" conjure up an image of a greasy no-good trickster. While this isn't necessarily a fair stereotype - some salespeople are just decent hardworking people - it is a stereotype for a reason. It's true more often than not. When buying a used car, it can be hard to separate the facts from the salespitch and is why this web site is so very good for us, as consumers, so that we can steer clear of the "stereo-type" used car salespeople and dealerships that give all the others a bad name and reputation. One such salesperson and dealersship everyone should steer clear of is Hot Ride Motors in Philadelphia; specifically the biggest weasel in the business, Andrei Losev, who all his life, has been a con man but now has become a Weasel. Andrei works out of Hot Ride Motors with his partner, Sam Laken, who apparently is a snake, lol (see other rip off reports on Sam, The Snake lol)

How did the notorious con man, Andrei Losev, emerge from just a typical run of the mill, con man, into a weasel, you ask?

There once was a used car salesman named Andrei Losev. Losev loved to sell cars that were basically lemons. The engines needed repairing and the transmissions typically were faulty. Andrei Losev is as dishonest as they come... Selling his used cars with no guarantee but telling his customers that the vehicles he sells have all been state inspected and have no issues whatsoever.

One day, a little old man walked up to Hot Ride Motors and said to Andrei Losev, "How much you want for that red car with the fancy wheels?" Losev looked over at the car and said "You look like a nice man. I'll make a special deal with you beings we are getting in new inventory and will need the space". For only $2500, you can drive this car right off the lot today".

The old man looked the car over carefully and asked Losev, "Anything wrong with this vehicle?" to which Losev shook his head no and said "ALL" his vehicles have been state inspected before being put up for sale.

Andrei Losev was lying. The transmission was bad. The brakes and rotors were shot. It needed a new catallytic converter. The cost to repair this vehicle in order for it to 'pass' state inspection was a little more than $3000!!!

"I'll take it", said the old man. And "I just want you to know that if this car is no good, I will turn you into a weasel".

Andrei Losev just laughed. "I've been turned into a lot of things but never a weasel".

The next day the little old man came back to Hot Ride Motors - this time encountering both Losev and also a heavy set younger salesman, Sam (the snake) Laken. Losev saw the old man and ran the other way sending the heavy set salesman over to deal with the old man. The old man was very angry and marched right into the trailer to confront Losev and let him have it and said "This car is a hunk of junk. There are all kinds of repairs that need to be made. I had this car thoroughly checked out and I want my money back".

Both Andrei Losev and Sam Laken were thoroughly amused by this old man, saying basically "I'm sorry but once you take a car off this lot, it's your responsibility to take care of it. Now, please leave... There are other customers that need attending to".

The little old man looked straight at Andrei Losev and said, "You have swindled your last customer. From this day forward, you shall be a weasel."

A little boy could be overheard saying to his father, "Say, Pop, there goes the Weasel." And the car salesman remained a weasel for the rest of his life.

Seeing what others have said about this dealership and these two shady characters has prompted me to add in my two cents albeit a bit of humor, lol, but seriously, even though it has been several months since this has happened to this old man... My father, it was not an experience that was in any way humorous.

These two represent the worse in the business and they absolutely take advantage of people, (who should but Don't know any better), in such a way that indeed marks the 'stereotype' of the typical dishonest and shady used car salesman. Sure my old man should have known better and should have at least had someone look over the car BEFORE handing over his money but he is from a different generation... A different time... Born and raised to trust and take others at their word. A very costly mistake to say the least as that vehicle was never repaired due to being too costly to do so and ended up being sold for parts and scrap at a time when the going rate for scrap metal was at its all time highest. End of story. Lesson learned.

If this were indeed a 'perfect world' the little old man would have turned out to be Merlin the Magician and Andrei the Weasel Losev would have been put out of business, thus ensuring that no other unsuspecting and trusting individual would be at the mercy of these two sleazy lying used car salesmen, Andrei the Weasel Losev and Sam The Snake Laken, working out of Hot Ride Motors in Philadelphia, PA
