So it’s ok to rebutt me and claim I’m wrong and I’m not allowed to answer? Pretty low dude
You’re saying the same thing over and over again and not really contributing to the discussion anymore. Relax. Quality over quantity.

It is a sales person running this fraud, not a dealer principle. And this is different than just asking, it is actually implementing it on a large scale. And it was not a legal channel to acquire codes since there is no such thing. I would assume the Feds are involved because some of the codes could be from out of state dealers and sales as well.
Next you’re going to tell me that what’s written on the lease contract doesn’t actually matter.

The dealer had to be involved. No Sales Manager out there can pretend to not know this guy’s scheme.
That FCA dealership is going down.

Am I off base in thinking that the dealership higher ups either knew about this and did nothing or even encouraged this kind of thing? I find it hard to believe that they had no idea what was going on when a guy sold 250 cars in a month.

I agree. There is no way this went unnoticed. The office couldn’t possibly keep entering employee discount codes and not wonder how their dealership is selling to such a high percentage of “relatives.”
Shredding machines are working overtime right now over there!
I know of people who sell over 50 a month that have their own personal team, so it could be easy to instruct his own team to continue on without upper management knowing. The investigation interviewed about 270 employees from 16-18 and if he sells 200 a month, that is almost 7000 cars over 3 years. 270 is a drop in the bucket even if he did half as many units. Now obviously we don’t have all the info, so it is all just speculation, but the article claims that only the sales person is being charges, not the dealer itself.
FCA only started to care when the shortages hit, but were fine with it when he sold volumes of their cars.

That’s not a good look if it becomes another Wells Fargo.
Wells Fargo Defrauded the consumer and saddled them with extra fees. This is only affecting FCA and their bottom line.
Yeah, opening account without customer knowing is pretty egregious.
20 years?!
Damn…don’t mess with the US Car Manufacturers
That’s fluff , AFAIK no one gets the max unless you have doing something really bad.
