Respondents.
The New York City Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (“DCWP” or “the
Department”) brings this action against Respondents J.F. Motors, LLC d/b/a World Auto (“World
Auto”), J.F. Motors 2, Inc., Best Luxury Motors 2, LLC d/b/a Luxury Automotive Club, NYC
Motorcars of Freeport Inc., and Faisal Khan (together, “Respondents”), and alleges as follows:
INTRODUCTION
(“SHADs”) and their owner, who, together, are engaged in a systematic scheme to defraud New
York City consumers. The central element of their scheme is selling fake “certified pre-owned”
automobiles to consumers for thousands of dollars more than their advertised prices, a practice
many consumers are particularly attracted to CPO automobiles. Although there is no national
standard for CPO automobiles, they are considered to be in better condition, are subject to more
rigorous inspections, have a clean history, and are backed by a special warranty. 1 Many consumers
are willing to pay a premium for the reassurance that they are buying a quality car that will not
3. Consumer Reports estimates that CPO automobiles sell for $850 to $3,000 more
than their non-CPO counterparts. 3 And a Cars.com analysis of 200,000 late-model used cars found
that CPO automobiles were advertised for an average of $1,017 more than the same models with
no certification. 4
4. Eager to cash in, Respondents have been for years claiming that all of their
automobiles are CPO. World Auto has even called itself “THE HOME OF CERTIFIED PRE-
Independent Automobile Dealers Association (“NIADA”). All NIADA CPO automobiles (1) must
pass a 125-point inspection, (2) are backed by a free 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty,
and (3) come with a vehicle history report. Respondents promise all of these CPO benefits to
6. Even worse, Respondents sell all their second-hand automobiles at prices greater
than the advertised prices. Respondents misrepresent to consumers that the higher prices are due
at least in part to a mandatory certification fee, a practice that fragrantly violates the New York

7. Even though NIADA CPO vehicles come with a free warranty, Respondents
illegally require some consumers to purchase vehicle service contracts (“VSCs”). But when those
same consumers attempt to have repairs done under the VSC, they are told by the VSC
administrator that there is no record of their VSC on file. In essence, Respondents forced these
8. After all that, Respondents still are not finished abusing their customers. Among
other things, Respondents fleece buyers from out of state by misrepresenting to them the amount
paid to government agencies on their behalf for tax, title, and registration; fail to provide
consumers with accurate information about financing and the NYC Used Car Cancellation Option;
purport to grant themselves a unilateral right to cancel or renegotiate retail instalment contracts
(“RICs”)—and charge the consumer a fee for it—through illegal contingency clauses; and fail to
offer Spanish language documents to consumers with whom they negotiate a deal in Spanish.
9. Finally, Respondents frequently use sales documents that identify as the seller
different entities within their web of companies. As a result, anyone seeking to hold Respondents
10. Ultimately, every consumer who buys a car from Respondents is a victim, and the
harms suffered are compounded upon one another. None of Respondents’ customers get the
promised benefit of owning a CPO automobile, estimated conservatively to be worth at least $850.
And Respondents’ customers pay an average of $7,037 above Respondents’ advertised prices.
Because Respondents finance their automobiles at an average annual percentage rate of 11.14%

licensing laws, codified in Chapters One, Two and Five of the New York City Administrative

has three primary benefits: (1) the automobile undergoes a 125-point inspection by a qualified
mechanic, (2) the buyer receives a complete vehicle history report, such as a CARFAX, and (3)

price of the automobile without any additional cost to the buyer. NIADA certification is not an

March 14, 2019 until about November 6, 2020. During that time, World Auto exclaimed on the
top of every page of the website that it was “THE HOME OF CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED
VEHICLES,” and it displayed the NIADA CPO Certified logo prominently throughout the
website. Every automobile offered for sale on worldautocars.com was labelled “certified” or
“certified pre-owned.”
27. From at least May 12, 2020 to present, Respondents have advertised on
automomaniaonline.com that automobiles offered for sale at Automania are NIADA CPO, with

inspection by one of “our licensed mechanics,” and make available on their websites a sample

dealer’s behalf complete the NIADA checklist, checking off every one of the 125 items to be
inspected. The mechanic then prints and signs their name above a certification statement. The
buyer is given a copy of this inspection form, and also signs it, acknowledging receipt of the
31. Respondents do not complete, maintain, or provide consumers with a copy of the
NIADA inspection checklist. In response to DCWP document requests, Respondents did not
provide a single NIADA 125-point inspection checklist, and admitted that the automobiles in their
inventory only underwent an “official NYS Inspection,” not the 125-point NIADA inspection.

34. Despite their claims, Respondents often fail to provide consumers with a vehicle
history report.

including its various owners, any service that was performed to the vehicle, any damage the
automobile has suffered, and any accidents the automobile was a part of, among other pieces of

(2014 Nissan Maxima), Patrick Allala (2018 Mercedes GLC), and Gabriel Rojas (2017 Honda

NIADA CPO automobiles come with a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty, plus roadside

Respondents are not given any documentation of any warranty whatsoever. And in their retail

included in the automobile’s price, a VSC, sometimes called an “extended warranty,” is an add-

administered by a third-party.

Sportage for five years. She was also not provided with the advertised 10-

45. Therefore, the product is less valuable than the one Respondents should provide for
free as part of the NIADA CPO program. But, to make their deception even more brazen,
Respondents frequently fail to provide the VSC at all, simply pocketing the consumers’ money.
For example:
a. Respondents charged Antonio Flores and Mayra Plaza $3,250 for a VSC for
their 2017 Volkswagen Passat. When Ms. Plaza tried to file a claim, the VSC

because they only give consumers the first page of the VSC, which does not show the complete
terms, conditions, and coverage exclusions and limitations. Consumers only receive their complete

      B. Respondents invent fake fees to account for their higher-than-advertised prices.
51. The only fees SHADs may legally collect in addition to the sale price of an
automobile are taxes, and fees paid to government entities on the buyer’s behalf related to title and
registration, and a fee payable to the dealer if they provide that service to the buyer.
52. Respondents convince consumers to accept their inflated prices by flouting this
53. Respondents do not itemize the fake fees in their bills of sale or RICs where they
would catch the attention of finance companies, NIADA, or the Department. Instead, Respondents
roll the fictitious fees into the automobile’s cash price, communicating the fees to consumers orally
54. Respondents routinely tell consumers that they are required to pay an additional
“certification fee,” which is expressly prohibited by NIADA. But, the fake certification fee is just

with a $12,000 price displayed on it but were charged a cash price of $17,500

was given an unsigned contract for a $1,979 theft deterrent system that was
Mr. Flores’s credit cards for the down payment, but only credited him $6,800,
claiming—only verbally—that the remaining $84 was for credit card fees.
e. Respondents sold a 2018 Mercedes GLC to Patrick Allala for a cash price of
“CAPITAL ONE APR (10%) $3,406.” Respondents then—on top of the cash
price—charged Dr. Allala another $3,985 for a VSC they claimed was
required, and another $15,291.20 for Capital One’s actual finance charges, of

        registration, and pocket the difference.
55. When New York dealers, including Respondents, sell an automobile, they usually
arrange title and registration, and collect and remit taxes and fees to government agencies on their
customers’ behalf. Dealers are permitted to charge a separately itemized fee for this service: $75
prior to August 18, 2021, now $175. 14 Fees payable to the government are calculated by the dealer
and itemized on the bill of sale and RIC. Tax, title, and registration fees are determined by and

York State, they misrepresent the amount payable to the state for tax, title, and registration.

sale and financing of their automobile purchase for two weekdays and to cancel the transaction
within that timeframe for any reason, or no reason at all (the “NYC Used Car Cancellation
72. SHADs must provide each consumer with a NYC Used Car Cancellation Option
form, which notifies consumers of the deadline to cancel their automobile purchase. Respondents
failed to fill in this deadline on every one of 43 NYC Used Car Cancellation Option forms reviewed
73. Respondents often fail to provide consumers with the NYC Used Car Cancellation
74. Selina Cruz for example did not know the cancellation option existed until she
attempted to return the Pathfinder (within the two-day period) and Respondents refused to take it
back.
75. Gabriel Rojas asked Respondents to allow him to take his paperwork home to
review before committing to the purchase of a 2017 Honda Civic. Respondents told him he had to
                                                    20
“sign today,” and failed to inform him of the NYC Used Car Cancellation Option. Two days later,
having had a chance to review his paperwork, Mr. Rojas tried to cancel the contract, but
Respondents told him if he cancelled, they would keep his $3,000 down payment and his $2,800
trade in.
76. While Ms. Marquez-Fuentes was completing paperwork for her purchase of a 2015
Jeep Cherokee, Respondents misrepresented to her that she could not cancel without losing her
$15,000 down payment, even though the transaction had not even been completed.

78. The contingency clause purports to condition the sale on “your final credit approval

Assignee.” The agreement purports to grant the consumer “temporary possession” of the
automobile and requires the consumer to return it within 24 hours if Respondents fail to assign the

Acknowledgment” similarly purporting to condition the sale on Respondents’ ability to assign the
RIC.
80. Such conditions are illegal under City law. See NYC Code § 20-268.1(b). This is
because, historically, SHADs have used such contingency clauses to coerce consumers into less
82. SHADs must give a Financing Disclosure form to every consumer who finances
the purchase a second-hand automobile, using a form created and made available by DCWP. See
6 RCNY § 2-106.
84. For the following retail sales, Respondents entered an amount for “total sale price
of automobile with all selected add-ons and financing charges” that does not match the Total Sale
Price on the RIC: Jessica M. Avelar (2016 Nissan Sentra), Malcolm Myers (2018 Dodge Charger),
Roybert A. Rotundo (2016 Audi A6), Kylee Rae Verrill (2016 Honda Accord).
85. On the Financing Disclosure form for Joe Benitez’s purchase of a 2016 Jeep
Cherokee, Respondents entered a false Automobile Cash Price without Add-on Products and
Services, a false Total Cash Price without Add-on Products and Services, a false Total Sale Price
without Add-on Products and Services, and a false Total Sale Price with All Selected Add-ons and
Finance Charges.
86. The Financing Disclosure form for Sanjit Das’s purchase of a 2015 Lexus RX lists
87. Respondents failed to give copies of the Financing Disclosure form to Dr. Allala
(2018 Mercedes GLC), Mr. Atkinson (2018 Infiniti QX60), Mr. Betancourt Peralta (2018 Mazda
CX-9), Ms. Cruz (2017 Nissan Pathfinder), Mr. Flores and Ms. Plaza (2017 Volkswagen Passat),
Ms. Marquez-Fuentes (2015 Jeep Cherokee), Mr. Rojas (2017 Honda Civic), and Ms. Weeks
(2017 Kia Sportage). On copies provided to the Department, Respondents miscalculated sales tax
on Ms. Cruz’s form, and failed to itemize the tire and wheel insurance on Ms. Marquez-Fuentes’s
                                                  22
form.
88. The Financing Disclosure form for Robert Spagnoli’s purchase of a 2016 Jeep
Grand Cherokee is illegible. It cannot be compared to the RIC for the sale because Respondents
completed financing disclosure form for Wilber Tobar’s purchase of a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
90. Respondents charge consumers thousands of dollars for add-on products of dubious
value, such as tire and wheel insurance and theft deterrent systems. Respondents do not itemize
these add-on products on their RICs; instead, they just add them to the cash price of the automobile.
This has the effect of misleading consumers and the assignee finance companies about the true
cash price of the automobile and the existence of add-on products. It also violates the federal Truth
in Lending Act, which requires “a separate written itemization of the amount financed, including
. . . [a]ny amounts paid to other persons by the creditor on the consumer’s behalf.” 12 C.F.R. §
1026.18(c)(1)(iii).
91. Respondents failed to itemize the price of add-on products on RICs for at least 16
92. The sale of a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee to Joe Benitez demonstrates how
Respondents’ misrepresentations on the RIC and Financing Disclosure converge to confuse the
consumer and mislead the finance company about the cost of the automobile and add-on products.
Respondents sold Mr. Benitez a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee for $18,984, plus a VSC for $3,295,
plus some mysterious thing called a “5 pack” for $2,895. These three elements are itemized on the
bill of sale. On the RIC, Respondents did not separately itemize the 5 pack, but rolled it into the
price of the car. And on the Financing Disclosure form, Respondents separately itemized the 5
                                                     23
pack and rolled it into the price of the car. If one believes the bill of sale, Mr. Benitez paid $18,984
for the car and bought a 5 pack for $3,295. If one believes the RIC, Mr. Benitez paid $21,879 for
the car, and did not buy the 5 pack. If one believes the Financing Disclosure form, Mr. Benitez
paid $21,879 for the car and another $3,295 for the 5 pack.
93. Respondents advertise “se habla español,” and negotiate the sale of second-hand
automobiles in Spanish, but Respondents do not provide consumers with any documents in
Spanish.
94. Respondents negotiated the sale of a 2015 Jeep Cherokee to Ms. Marquez-Fuentes
in Spanish, but all of the documents related to the sale were in English without Spanish translation,
including the RIC, bill of sale, buyer’s order, contingency clause, arbitration agreement, lender
verification, contract cancellation option form, financing disclosure form, credit application, recall
disclosure, gap liability notice, vehicle service contract application, consumer bill of rights, power
95. Respondents negotiated the sale of a 2018 Mazda CX-9 to Mr. Betancourt Peralta
in Spanish, but all of the documents related to the sale were in English without Spanish translation,
96. Respondents use their business entities and trade names—both authorized and
unauthorized—interchangeably to misrepresent and obscure the identity of the selling dealer for
their retail sales. Often, the only way to discern which business entity is which is by address or
97. For example, on March 20, 2020, Ms. Cruz and Mr. Almanzar visited JF2 at 6020
(d/b/a NYC Motorcars at the time) to look at a Nissan Pathfinder they found on cars.com. When
                                                      24
JF2 at 6020 tried to charge them added fees, they decided to shop elsewhere, eventually visiting
Automania at 5511 Northern Boulevard, having no idea that the businesses were related. The
salesperson at Automania told them she had a Pathfinder they would like, but it was at another
location. When the salesperson took them to see it, they found themselves back where they started
at JF2 at 6020, looking at the original Pathfinder they had already considered and rejected because
of the surprise fees. Worn down and thinking they were stuck with added fees either way, Ms.
Cruz and Mr. Almanzar gave up and bought the Pathfinder at JF2 at 6020.
98. As bad as the runaround was, the transaction paperwork tells a different, more
complicated, and illegal story. According to Respondents’ records submitted to the DMV, on the
day of the sale to Ms. Cruz and Mr. Almanzar, title to the Pathfinder was held by Best Luxury
Motors, LLC d/b/a NYC Motorcars located at 1231 Hempstead Turnpike in Nassau County (not
to be confused with Best Luxury Motors 2, LLC or JF2 at 6020 d/b/a NYC Motorcars). 18 State law
prohibits a dealer from displaying a vehicle “unless he owns the vehicle or has it on consignment.”
See NYCRR § 78.16(c). It was therefore illegal for Respondents to display or offer the Pathfinder
99. But it gets worse. According to DMV records and the bill of sale, Best Luxury
Motors, LLC transferred title for the Pathfinder to Automania 45 minutes before Automania
transferred title to Ms. Cruz and Mr. Almanzar. But, according to the RIC, World Auto sold the
Pathfinder to Ms. Cruz and Mr. Almanzar. None of these three dealers were licensed to sell second-
hand automobiles at the location where the sale took place: 6020 Northern Boulevard.
18
   Best Luxury Motors, LLC, of which Khan was sole member, filed Articles of Dissolution on December
22, 2020.
19
   JF2 did not have the Pathfinder on consignment because it did not produce the required consignment
letter in response to a subpoena from DCWP. See NYCRR § 78.40.
                                                     25
     A. Respondents misrepresent the identity of the selling dealer on RICs.
100. Many of Respondents’ retail sales name different dealers on different documents
for the same transaction. The selling dealer named on the RIC is often different than the selling
dealer named on the bill of sale and/or the book of registry 20 for the same sale.
101. DCWP reviewed records for 155 financed sales by World Auto between June 18,
2016 and June 14, 2020. Even though World Auto’s book of registry shows that World Auto sold
these cars, 35 of the RICs identify NYC Motorcars of Freeport Corp. as the seller, six identify
Automania, two identify NYC Motorcars of Woodside, and two identify LAC. See Exhibit H.

DOS under the name or trade name NYC Motorcars of Woodside; and World Auto is not
103. DCWP reviewed records of 33 financed sales by Automania between March 20,
2020 and March 8, 2021. Although the bills of sale identify Automania as the selling dealer, 24 of
the RICs identify World Auto as the seller, eight identify “Luxury Automotive Club” (JF2 at 6020),
and only one identifies Automania. See Exhibit I. Automania is not authorized to do business as
104. DCWP reviewed records of 14 financed sales by LAC. Although all the bills of sale
identify LAC as the selling dealer, five of the RICs identify World Auto as the selling dealer, and
two identify JF2 at 6020 as the selling dealer. See Exhibit J. LAC is not authorized to do business
20
  “Book of registry” refers to the records every motor vehicle dealer in New York State must maintain in
which the dealer records a complete description of all vehicles acquired for purpose of sale, traded or sold,
including the person to whom the vehicle is sold. See 15 NYCRR § 78.25.

   H. Respondents engage in unlicensed activity.
105. NYC Motorcars of Freeport Corp. executed no fewer than 35 RICs for sales at 4309
Northern Boulevard in Queens from November 17, 2018 until November 19, 2020, at which time
a SHAD unrelated to Respondents took over the premises. NYC Motorcars of Freeport Corp. has
