Seattle Car Dealership faces Scandal Over Deceptive Practices

By MNST

The Seattle Car dealership has been facing recent scrutiny after selling multiple Nolte Series trucks at, what seemed was a competitive price point. This was later reviewed as a Bait-and-Switch fallacy as the dealership would impose hidden fees on the customers after the purchase.

Information of the fees were leaked on a Blocksbook post, after a 65-year-old women, who wished to stay anonymous, uploaded a picture of the purchase records when she bought a 2010 Nolte Lowlander Pickup at the dealership. Subsequently other users began sharing their experiences, with one user showing a $9,000 dollar fee for Documentation and Preparation.

The dealership tried to denounce the accusations, going online to shut down and coverup the post, sending a cease and desist to the grandmother and many other users on the Blocksbook post.

The news of the fees caught the attention of multiple consumer protection agencies with local and state officials starting their own investigations on the matter.

We at MNST News had sent over news reporters to the dealership but they had suspiciously gone missing, (Editor Note: We still have no Idea what had happened to them.)

With investigations still ongoing more information will most likely be uncovered and the grandmother that first uploaded the post has expressed their consideration on suing the dealership.
