DID DEALER CHARGE CLIENT $10,000 DOWNPAYMENT, DISCLOSE $8,000 ON CONTRACT, AND POCKET THE REST?
Frederick v. Truck and SUV Superstore, Inc. dba East County Preowned Superstore – El Cajon (San Diego County)
Our client alleges that in July 2020, she went to East County Preowned Superstore and agreed to give $2,000 to that dealer to find a vehicle she wanted, to be refunded if no matching vehicle was located. However, East County Preowned Superstore did not find her a matching vehicle and instead sold her a 2014 Honda CR-V that had mechanical problems, and allegedly pocketed the $2,000 instead of applying it to the $8,000 our client was charged for the downpayment. As a result, our client was forced to pay $10,000 to East County Preowned Superstore when the sale contract said she only owed $8,000. California law has strict requirements for auto broker transactions which East County Preowned Superstore allegedly did not comply with.
