Buyer Beware: Arrogant Fraud at This New Jersey - Meshary
Buyer Beware: Arrogant Fraud at This New Jersey Dealership – Don’t Get Played!🚨
Listen up, car shoppers—this isn’t your average bad deal; it’s a masterclass in deception from a shady New Jersey outfit peddling a “pristine” 2016 Porsche Panamera GTS. As an out-of-state buyer, I smelled trouble from the jump, and boy, did it stink.
Red Flag #1: The Phone Dodge
I called for basics: Clean CARFAX? No issues? Salesman claimed one owner, spotless record, mint condition. But out-the-door price? “Nah, gotta come in person.” Classic bait to hook you in—illegal in many spots, as it hides fees and pressures sales.
Red Flag #2: Manager’s Empty Promises
He said John the manager would call with pricing. John does, but no written quote—another slick move to avoid accountability. And their cars.com listing? Bold-faced lies: “One owner, zero accidents.” Reality? Five owners and a crash history. Boom—false advertising right there.
The Inspection Bombshell
Skeptical, I sent a pre-purchase inspector (PPI). Report: Four engine codes flashing warnings, scratches everywhere, dented panels, undercarriage wreckage—the works. This “gem” was a junker in disguise.
Enter John: The Arrogant Fraudster
Confronted him, and this guy—talking like he’s untouchable—deflects: “What do you expect from a 10-year-old car?” Buddy, age ain’t an excuse for lies! Then he smirks: “Do whatever you want. Leave a review? I can delete ’em—no big deal.” His cocky attitude screamed “unstoppable,” but guess what? Reviews like this stick, and so do lawsuits.
This isn’t ethics—it’s illegal, dealership. Heads up:
• FTC Used Car Rule (16 CFR Part 455): Must disclose defects; fines up to $50,120 per violation.
• FTC Act (15 U.S.C. § 45): Bans misleading ads/claims; penalties include fines and refunds.
• NJ Consumer Fraud Act (N.J.S.A. 56:8-1 et seq.): Outlaws deceptive sales; triples damages for victims, plus attorney fees.
• Federal Disclosure Laws (49 U.S.C. § 32701 et seq.): Requires accident history reveals; up to $10,000 per incident.
• UCC § 2-314: Breaches implied warranties; demand refunds or fixes.
If John’s arrogance rubs you wrong or you’ve been burned, report to FTC, NJ AG, or BBB. Out-of-state buyers, steer clear—these guys prey on distance. Demand transparency, inspect everything, and don’t let fraudsters like John rev up your regrets. Spread the word!
