N.J. says car dealer cheated customers;
The Cherry Hill Triplex chain denied the allegation, saying "complaints are
inevitable" given its business volume.
BYLINE: Troy Graham, Inquirer Staff Writer
The Cherry Hill Triplex auto dealerships have famously advertised $8,000
guaranteed for trade-ins and no credit checks for customers.
The state Attorney General's Office said those offers were too good to be
true.
The office and the state Division of Consumer Affairs on Monday sued Foulke
Management Corp., owned by Charles W. Foulke Jr., for violating consumer
regulations at the dealerships.
Foulke does business as Cherry Hill Triplex, one of the region's most
visible names in car sales. It operates Cherry Hill Dodge, Cherry Hill Jeep
Eagle, Cherry Hill Kia, Cherry Hill Mitsubishi, and Mount Ephraim
Chrysler/Dodge.
The complaint, filed in state Superior Court in Camden, accuses the
dealerships of "unconscionable consumer practices" such as failing to honor
the $8,000 trade-in offer, failing to honor an advertised sale price, and
not disclosing previous damage to a car.
Division of Consumer Affairs officials said they had received more than 100
complaints from Triplex customers in the last two years.
Foulke attorney Carmen Saginario said he believed the complaints spanned a
"significantly longer period." Given the volume of Cherry Hill Triplex's
business, he said, "mistakes and complaints are inevitable."
"They've done everything they can to rectify any mistakes or address any
complaints," he said.
Saginario said Foulke "denied the allegations in the complaint." He said he
could not offer a more specific defense.
"They are very proud of the services and products provided to the consumers
in South Jersey for many, many years," he said. "They are a staple in the
South Jersey automobile industry."
In a statement, Attorney General Zulima Farber said Cherry Hill Triplex
conducted "a typical bait-and-switch operation."
"We will not tolerate such deceptive practices," she said.
In 2001, authorities said, Foulke agreed to pay a $40,000 fine and operate
lawfully after the Division of Consumer Affairs began investigating other
violations.
"These car dealerships promised to take the high road in dealing with
customers, but the volume of complaints we've received tell another story,"
division director Kimberly Ricketts said.
Foulke could face $20,000 in penalties for each violation.
