MADISON, Wis. (WMTV) - A Madison dealership owner says his suspicions grew as one family kept returning to buy BMWs, but it wasn’t until a third trip to a bank that he says everything unraveled.
Trust N Ride Auto Sales & Repair owner Zain Tariq says the first customer walked in ready to buy a BMW, but something about the sale felt unusual.
“Usually, people say... show me the CarFax or show me this. ‘Okay, I want to take the car for a pre-purchase inspection,’” Tariq said. “Nothing. He don’t want to test drive, nothing. He didn’t even start the car.”
According to Tariq, the customer bought the car and told employees his mother would be back the next day to purchase another BMW. Before completing that sale, Tariq says he sent his salesperson to a bank to ask whether the check appeared legitimate.
