WARNING: Bait & Switch, $7,000 Deposit Held, Active State InvestigationsI am a Portage resident who tried to buy a 2016 Audi SQ5 from Auto Giant USA in Fishers. This business is under active investigation by InvestigationsI am a Portage resident who tried to buy a 2016 Audi SQ5 from Auto Giant USA in Fishers. This business is under active investigation by the Indiana Secretary of State and Attorney General for their conduct. Here are the facts:Bait-and-Switch: On July 8, Sales Manager Tanner Endicott emailed a written proposal for an OTD price of $16,996.57. After a 2.5-hour drive with my family, the dealer altered the contract behind my back, sneaking the price up to $17,925.33—nearly $1,000 more than promised, even after I showed them their own Bill of Sale.Breach of Contract: The dealer agreed to do repairs to lock in the sale. I paid a $7,000 cash down payment on July 10, agreeing I would take the car home that day. They signed a "We Owe" stating they would "send tires to customer" later. They breached on day one; they couldn't finish lot maintenance, and I left empty-handed.Double Failure to Deliver: They promised via text to deliver the car to my house by Wednesday, July 15 before 6:00 PM. They missed their deadline and failed a second time. Because I had no car and two deadlines were missed, I notified the lender, who froze the loan. The deal was canceled.Shifting Demands: I went to the lot with local police to demand my money. They refused. Their text demands keep changing: claiming they can keep the full deposit, demanding a "restocking fee," then inventing a $1,600 "repair fee"—forcing me to pay for lot repairs they legally signed to cover for free on the "We Owe."Unauthorized Title: On July 27, an SOS Field Examiner confirmed the dealer abruptly processed an Ohio title in my name on July 24 without my knowledge or signature, trying to force a frozen transaction.As of July 28 at 5 PM, my demand expired. They are holding my $7,000 hostage. I am forcing them into Hamilton County Small Claims Court. Look at the attached photos. Do not shop here. More
