In this short video, we see a familiar scenario about buying a used car and a "gray" contract. Yesterday, the protagonist buys a car for 300,000 rubles, is delighted with his bargain, and trusts the seller, who assures him that the engine is still in good condition and "will last a long time." At the seller's request, the contract specifies 100,000 rubles—to reduce taxes and conceal the true value.

The very next day, the car stops working perfectly: the engine, built with additives, dies almost immediately. The protagonist returns to the seller and demands to know. The seller looks surprised, says everything was fine, and then suddenly takes out his wallet, counts the money, and hands over exactly 100 rubles. When he says, "But I got it from you for 300,000," the seller calmly points to the contract: it states 100,000 rubles, so that's what he's obligated to return.

The conversation ends with the phrase, "If you don't like it, go to court." Write in the comments what you think should be done in this situation.
