The author of the post, Mr. A, stated, "I bought a used car from OO company last month," and added, "Since I live in Jeju Island, where used car prices are high, I purchased the car from a large used car dealership complex in Incheon through a company."

He continued, "I bought a car without options since I was going to use it just for commuting, and it still had one year left on the manufacturer's warranty, so I decided to have it delivered. It was a mistake not to go see the car in person and select it, and instead buying it only through photos and phone calls," he explained.

The photos Mr. A uploaded with his post showed a piece of paper that appeared to be part of a suicide note and various trash scattered on the floor.

He said, "While picking up my phone after dropping it, I found something interesting," and added, "I felt that the paper I found was part of a suicide note. When I lifted the driver's seat mat, I saw small burn marks."

He also said, "Inside the car, I found items ranging from LAN cable parts to candy wrappers," and added, "I sent photos and messages to the dealer, but they only apologized and did not answer my calls, so I contacted the seller."

He said, "There have been frequent breakdowns, so I plan to take it to a service center in a few days, but I am wondering whether I should send it to a scrapyard instead of the center," and asked netizens for advice, "Can I keep driving this car? How do people usually handle cases like this? Should I burn part of the suicide note and send it off?"

Later, Mr. A posted an update, saying, "After reading various opinions and looking at the situation objectively, I thought again about the situation. The note that had been unseen for a long time caught my eye, and I think it might mean that the paper should be burned. It will be a bit tough for a few days, but I plan to just keep driving the car," he shared the situation.

Netizens who read the story responded with comments such as, "Request a refund; there must be a duty to disclose," "Dealers these days seem to do a sloppy job. Didn't they even open the car after receiving it?" "It's hard to just let this go," and "If it were me, I don't think I could drive it."
