A COUPLE had been scammed out of a deposit for a Lamborghini SUV that wasn’t for sale – now there’s an ongoing investigation.
CarGurus, a popular used car listing site, listed a 2019 Lamborghini Urus SUV for $169,995 at a dealership in central Ohio.
Stephen Jayne, a man with an entrepreneurship’s mindset, was eager to bring the sporty SUV to his Florida home – and worked with the seller to settle on a price and come up with a suitable down payment.
After a few friendly conversations, Jayne sent a wire deposit of $30,000 to secure the sale.
When it came to delivering the vehicle, though, James ran into one issue after another from the dealer’s end after the vehicle was beginning its journey from California to Florida.
“Every day it was a different story,” Jayne told NBC4.
“‘The car is coming from California,’ or, ‘The truck carrying it broke down,’ or ‘We fired the truck driver.'”
The Jaynes then decided they’d had enough, and made several attempts to get their deposit back – but the dealership instead asked for more money.
