A flashy Brooklyn luxury car dealership just got burned big time, slapping a federal lawsuit on a customer after uncovering a sneaky mileage scam involving a Lamborghini Huracan Evo Spider.
The Stolen Ferrari F50 FBI Saga
Back in June, JLR Brooklyn gladly took the 2023 Huracan as a trade-in from a man named N. Teelan, tossing him a fat $190,000 credit toward a brand-new Range Rover. The speed demon’s dash claimed a measly 2,100 kilometers—barely broken in. But when the car got shipped off to a Lamborghini shop in Texas for servicing, the techs dropped a bombshell: the real mileage was way higher.
A quick diagnostic dive into the car’s guts exposed the truth—23,365 kilometers logged in the electronic control unit, over ten times what the odometer showed. Someone had slapped on a sneaky blocker gadget to hide the real wear and tear, leaving the dealership stuck with a $6,300 bill to fix the busted odometer.
Fuming, JLR Brooklyn refunded the buyer in full and ate the shipping costs, taking a serious financial hit. Now they’re coming after Teelan and his Montana-based company, Cross Feen, demanding hefty damages for fraud, contract breach, and skirting federal odometer laws.
The dealership insists the doctored mileage tanked the Huracan’s resale value, turning what should’ve been an easy flip into a money pit. While rolling back odometers isn’t exactly groundbreaking, modern tech like OBD2 scanners makes it a cinch to spot shady discrepancies between the dash and the car’s actual brain.
For JLR Brooklyn, the whole mess is a pricey wake-up call: even a fancy Lambo badge doesn’t guarantee honesty, and skipping a quick diagnostic check can cost you big.
