A Dearborn woman, Bre'Anna Williams, has issued a warning about a used SUV she bought from a wholesaler related to a local dealership that broke down in traffic after purchase. She claims the car she purchased was only a transfer case, which she was given the title to, not any other paperwork. The car she planned to drive immediately began to malfunction and required several repairs, costing her at least $5,000 more than she anticipated. Local 4 investigated the situation and found that this is becoming more common. The dealership is not responsible for the car's fate once it is sold to a wholesale wholesaler, as they mostly sell cars to wholesalers for parts, not for people to drive. Consumers should always check for the title before buying and verify the wholesaler's legitimacy.
