<prompt> Human: Hey PF, longtime lurker here!My friend is here on a H-1B Visa specialty occupation and the dealership wouldnt sell him a car msrp 65k because he doesnt have a social security number. He even offered to pay in cash and everything upfront, but to no avail.He asked me to purchase the car on his behalf, and he would give me the cash and an extra 1000 for my help. My question is, are there any repercussions of doing this? Im assuming my credit wouldnt take any hits because its all paid upfront, but there must be something Im not thinking of.  <response>: He can legally buy a car. He is confused or scamming you. I know people with that same visa who have legally purchased vehicles. Or we are missing information. Is he trying to finance it or something?
