NJ Car Dealerships

A class action was filed on behalf of consumers who leased or purchased a new or used vehicle from one of 397 dealerships over the last eight years. The lawsuit alleged the dealerships charged excessive registration and title fees, overcharged for document service fees and did not inform customers that the services are not required by law. Under the terms of the settlement, consumers are eligible for a $100 discount on the purchase or lease of a new or used vehicle. (Sep-14-05) [CONSUMER AFFAIRS]
