Car sold without disclosing prior billing to another buyer; Mercedes, dealer fined Rs 10 lakh

NEW DELHI: A Delhi consumer commission has ordered Mercedes-Benz India and its authorised dealer, T&T Motors, to jointly pay compensation to a buyer after finding that they failed to disclose the vehicle's purchase history and continued to show an earlier purchase date in their records. The commission held that both the manufacturer and the dealer had engaged in unfair trade practices by not informing the buyer that the car had earlier been billed to another customer and by failing to correct the purchase date in the manufacturer's software.
