Missy Elliot Sues Dealership For Her Lamborghini Aventador

Missy Elliot traded in her 2005 Bentley and $30,000 last year to Fox Valley Motor Cars in Illinois as a down payment on a $376,000 matte white Aventador. She still doesn't have it, so she's filed a lawsuit.
The lawsuit contends that the dealership had agreed to ship her Lamborghini to Florida by mid-2012 reports, TMZ. When Missy Elliot contacted the Illinois dealership, they refused to ship the car at the previously agreed price, saying its market value had risen since the deal was struck last year.

Missy Elliot is suing for breach of contract, for damages, and for her Lambo.

lol I detailed her lime green murcialago when she traded that in for the phantom.

What a bitch. Ship her a cavalier.

What a bitch. Ship her a cavalier.

If the article is correct, I'd sue the dealer too honestly.

Breach of contract is serious bidness when you are talking that kind of money.

 

[C.Evans]

I just dont like her.

 

[ktraver97ss]

Oh yeah, they were scumbags. A guy had his lambo there for an oil change, saw a new Porsche GT come off a truck, decided to trade in the lambo, and leaves with GT for $450k. (on a side note he got pulled over not 1/4mile from the dealer on north ave lol) He comes back a couple days later and decides he wants to keep the lambo also, they charged him $20k more than they gave him on trade for the lambo and all it did is sit in the lot for 3 days.

That guy is an idiot.

The Missy Elliott situation though, if it were me, fuck yeah I'm suing. Like Das said, they entered into a contract, and unless it said that the price can be adjusted to market value after the fact, they be boned. They should probably save themselves the hassle and money, and just pony up at the original price.

Too late for that now, even if they back down, they are going to have to pay out the ass, and the bad publicity is out there now.

 

[Eagle]

Yep, sue all the way. You don't get to adjust prices on a car a year later cuz the value changed. A contract is a contract.

 

[Angus]

Think they would have given her a refund if the market value had dropped since the contract was signed last year? Hell No.

 

[VenomousDSG]

She's got a case, but she's still one ugly dude. Can she honestly even fit in that Lambo?

 

[greasy]

Get your sue on, get your sue on.

 

[DanJ]

She lost a bunch of weight i think.

 

[Fish]

Get your sue on, get your sue on.

God damn it you beat me to it.

 

[greasy]

God damn it you beat me to it.

Would be really curious to find the actual lawsuit filing of this. I feel like there has to be more going on in the contract than what is being said in those little news blips. If it really was a straight up contract that stated "we will sell you this car for this much and give it to you at this time" then Fox Valley needs to get some smarter people working for them because that is an open/shut case.

Even if it wasn't an open and shut case, how stupid do you have to be to let this go this far? The PR alone isn't worth it. Unless the dealer is clearly in the right I can't see how this plays out to their benefit.

 

[Jokerzl]

How in the hell can she even afford it

She will be in the same boat like mc hammer was. Just give it time

Agreed completely. I doubt whatever they are thinking they could get from her in excess of the original agreement is not nearly worth them being slammed all over the internet now.

And I doubt Missy filed the suit without first threatening to do so - they had ample opportunity no doubt to take a step back and think "this could be bad PR".

She produces more now and is in several different areas that make her money. She will be fine.

 

[Box1.000001]

I'm surprised all the Republicans say that she has a case, and not that she doesn't cuz she's black.

 

[Fish]

Jesus, I didnt know you were one of those guys. I take back my level headed post to you in the obamacare thread.

 

[PANDA]

Bob Rohrman owns this dealership.

Seriously? I hope they get hung out to dry.
