Prestige Motors dealers selling Mercedes-Benz cars in New Jersey was forced to face a lawsuit over racist action. They considered one of the Indian consumers as a lackey of the Taliban.
Quoted from Jalopnik, the case started when a middle-aged man of Indian descent named Surjeet Bassi came to the dealership to trade in the car on the GL550 ML350 become more expensive. After paying the sign to be an amount of US $ 1,000, the dealer manager even refused the purchase of Bassi.
He considers that Bassi from areas prone to conflict and potentially sell the car to the Taliban. The 50 year old man trying to be patient and to convince the dealer manager when he was 30 years of living in New Jersey and did not have any connection with terrorist groups.
Bassi himself revealed his profession who run the medical transportation business. However, any argumentation man of Indian descent are still raw in front of the dealer managers.
The act of the dealer manager associating Bassi to the terrorist networks, would make the buyer very painful. Suppose you really want to export, Bassi tend to give up the old car.
As is known, the ML-Class is a full-size SUV that is very popular in the Middle East and China. Due to very limited supply and very high tax, the ML-Class is often imported through the black market.
Because of these problems, Bassi then sued the dealer Prestige Motors to pay compensation of US $ 1.26 million for defamation.
