Litigation Update: Mentone Auto Center

Our case against Mentone Auto Center has settled!

Mann Auto Wholesale, Inc., doing business in San Bernardino County as Mentone Auto Center, financed the sale of a 2012 Ford Focus to our client. In California, if a dealer regularly finances vehicle purchases in-house (a buy-here-pay-here dealer), they are subject to specific rules. One of these rules is that the vehicle cannot be sold “as-is,” it must be accompanied by a minimum warranty.

Mentone Auto Center sold our client the 2012 Ford Focus “as-is,” and overcharged government fees. There was also a discrepancy with the odometer, which our client alleges was evidence of odometer fraud.

After filing a lawsuit in the San Bernardino Superior Court our firm was able to settle with Mentone Auto Center, recovering ALL our client’s money, as well as attorneys’ fees and costs.
