Michigan Suspends LaFontaine Dealership

The Michigan Department of State has suspended LaFontaine Chevrolet Buick GMC in China Township after investigators found the dealership repeatedly sold used vehicles as new. Officials say the violations continued even while the business was on probation from earlier penalties. Some cars reportedly had up to 6,000 miles but were listed as new. The dealership blames a paperwork error and denies any fraud, saying Michigan’s rules differ from other states. Consumers with concerns can contact the state’s automotive complaint line.
