The salesman Greg Bourgeois of Performance Imports located at 3101 Tulane Ave. agreed to sell my 2005 subrau wrx and replace it with the same year make and model just a different color from an auction. The car had low miles(18000). He sold my car around June 2007 and never informed me of the price he had sold it for. After several months it became obvious that he did not want to replace my car. The pay-off on the 2005 Subarau was approximately
$13,800.00 the average NADA Official Used Car Guide trade in value was approximately $17,675.00. I notified the manager who is named Butch unknown last name.
I contacted Ernesto Bennett who resides at 3505 Arkansas Ave. Kn., La 70065 the person he sold my car to and he stated that he never received a bill of sale and after a couple of months he received the titles for the 2005 Subarau WRX. He added that his leased car company representative contacted him and asked why he abandoned his car with the keys left in it. He later learned that the same salesman sold his lease car to another car company on trade in for my car. He also said that he had some warranty problems with the purchase of the vehicle.

5 charged in alleged car scam
By Christian Berthelsen
December 28, 2007 in print edition B-3
Five Orange County men have been charged in a $1.1-million scam in which they allegedly sold foreign luxury cars on consignment but did not pay the vehicles’ owners in at least 15 cases, authorities said Thursday.
The case developed after several owners complained to police in July and August that they had sold their cars through the dealership, Harbor Motors in Costa Mesa, but had not been paid or received checks that bounced. Costa Mesa police launched an investigation and the dealership immediately closed.
Most of the vehicles were BMWs, Mercedes-Benzes and Porsches. The price of the cars ranged from $30,000 to $60,000, with the total combined value reaching at least $1.1 million, said Sgt. Frank Rudisill of the Costa Mesa Police Department.
Finance companies, lien holders and buyers of the cars were also victims, authorities said, because title transfers were not handled properly and the vehicles could not be registered. In some cases, owners had not been paid nearly a year after the car had been sold.
“They would take a car in on consignment, sell it and play games with you for as long as they could,” Rudisill said. “Everything came to a head when the victims would no longer play games.”
The Orange County district attorney’s office issued warrants for the five men Monday
