WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — A car buyer who claimed to have trouble registering a newly purchased vehicle and getting a title for it now has the title and some extra cash.
The Office of the District Attorney says it got a complaint from the buyer and began investigating Maize Motors LLC, a used car dealership, and its owner, Gabriel Nicholson.
The DA’s Consumer Protection Division alleged that Maize Motors and Nicholson failed to deliver the title on a Mustang within 60 days as required by Kansas law and failed to disclose to buyers that the dealership could not provide a title within 60 days.

The investigators claim that the dealership sold the Mustang two previous times and tried to transfer the title through a “Permit to Sell” obtained from a Louisiana seller. The DA’s office says the previous buyers returned the Mustang when they could not register it.
According to the DA’s office, Maize Motors believed the “Permit to Sell” was sufficient to transfer a title in Kansas.
