The Washington Attorney General has settled a case with McCann Cadillac/Hummer/Saab over the sale of repurchased vehicles.
A news report indicates that McCann sold 79 buy-back vehicles but failed to follow all of the state's rules regarding the sale of a manufacturer buy-back.
Although McCann did disclose that the vehicles had been repurchased and had their customers sign a statement to that fact, that alone does not meet the state's requirements. Washington requires that dealers display a bright yellow sign/brochure on the vehicle indicating that it has been repurchased and that it will have a branded title.
As part of the settlement the dealership agreed to pay $12,000 to the AG's office and offer $1,000 to each of the 79 customers for a full release.
