- Government Actions:Government Action: BBB reports on known government actions involving business’ marketplace conduct:Sedgwick County DA vs. Maize Motors and Gabriel Nicholson
The following describes a government action that has been resolved by either a settlement or a decision by a court or administrative agency. If the matter is being appealed, it will be noted below.
On January 23, 2024, Maize Motors, LLC and owner Gabriel Nicholson entered into a consent judgment with the Office of the Sedgwick County District Attorney. The consent judgment settles allegations that Nicholson and Maize Motors, LLC failed to deliver the title for a Mustang within 60 days as required by Kansas law and failed to disclose to the consumers that the dealership could not provide the title within 60 days of the purchase. The investigation identified the dealership sold the Mustang on two prior occasions and attempted to transfer title to the vehicle via a “Permit to Sell,” obtained from a Louisiana seller. However, both prior buyers returned the Mustang to the dealership when they could not register it. The dealership maintains it believed the “Permit to Sell” was sufficient to transfer title in Kansas. Prior to settlement, the dealership obtained quiet title to the Mustang and delivered the title to the consumers outside the 60 days required by Kansas law. Under terms of the consent judgment, Nicholson and Maize Motors, LLC agreed to pay $5,000 in civil penalties, $1,000 in restitution to impacted consumers and will be on probation for 12 months with the Consumer Protection Division. Nicholson and the dealership also agreed to cooperate with any future complaints and are enjoined for five years from deceptive and unconscionable acts in consumer transactions. Both agreed in the future to provide full refunds to consumers if they fail to deliver title within 60 days and the customer elects to void the transaction. The consent judgment was for settlement purposes only and should not be considered as an admission of guilt or finding of violation of the law.
