These guys screwed me over in exactly this way when I bought a car from them three years ago. I raised hell when the deal I was asked to sign was for ~$2k more than we negotiated, but they wouldn’t budge. I should have walked away, but it’s hard when they spring it on you at the last second after you’ve spent hours getting to that point. Before I left their lot, I pulled the license plate frames with their name off the car and made a show of throwing them in showroom trash can. I told them they had sold a car, but I would forever tell everyone I know how shady they were.

I’m happy to see this.

You will want to contact the FTC Consumer Response Center (877-382-4357) to receive information for applying for restitution as part of this action.

The $10M fine is going directly to their victims. Maybe you can get part of it.

I'm sorry you had that experience. I've helped dozens of people buy cars from them and they are notorious for this. It's a shame, most dealers do this crap. It's ridiculous.

+1 they literally did the exact same thing to me a few months back. I'm still trying to get my money back from them.
