She pretended to be interested in the car, but ended up stealing it and running over the owner as she tried to run away.
Sarah Badshaw, 18, now faces multiple charges because of the incident.
The charges include dangerous operation causing bodily harm, motor vehicle theft, hit-and-run resulting in bodily harm, and driving without a license, Peel Regional Police confirmed.

The incident happened around 2 p.m. on Sept. 6, 2024, in Mississauga.
Video footage captured Badshaw ringing the victim’s doorbell.
When the owner opened the door, she claimed to be interested in a 2022 Porsche Cayenne that was listed for sale on Autotrader.
While inspecting the car's interior, Badshaw suddenly reversed and tried to flee.
As she fled with the stolen vehicle, she hit the owner in the driveway.

The victim was initially sitting inside the car with her while she inspected the interior.
Bradshaw then asked him to open the trunk, saying she wanted to check if it was in good condition.
As he tried to unlock the driver's door, the car suddenly accelerated, knocking him down and dragging him into the street.
The man sustained injuries to his elbow, hands, and legs and required medical attention, according to reports.
Police believe an accomplice in a gray Bentley Bentayga, parked nearby, was involved in the theft.
The stolen Porsche was found abandoned in Mississauga after the robbery.
Authorities also revealed that Badshaw has a history of fraud-related offenses in the Peel region.
She is wanted by other Greater Toronto Area police agencies for separate investigations.
