2024 Mercedes-Maybach S 580 4MATIC, VIN [XXX] , sold to me on 01/21/2026 by Peoria Motor Company LLC d/b/a Mercedes-Benz of [XXX] for $144,995, financed by Mercedes-Benz Financial Services. The dealer's Certified Pre-Owned Inspection Report is dated 01/28/2026 — seven days AFTER contract and one day AFTER the vehicle was shipped to me in California — meaning no valid CPO inspection existed at sale. The dealer's own Service Invoice XXX dated 01/06/2026 shows Line G "rear bumper damage — Recommended NOT Performed," confirming the dealer knew of unrepaired damage and sold the vehicle anyway. Independent iCrash report #XXX documents $15,140.03 in prior collision damage across 58 line items not disclosed at sale. Odometer disclosures are inconsistent across documents (25,541 / 25,534 / 25,535-in / 25,541-out). The Maybach hood ornament shown in the listing was replaced with a standard three-pointed star at delivery (iCrash lines 18 and 45). Vehicle was delivered to a Rocklin, California parking lot at 10:57 PM. After-sal [XXX] by the seller to a Mazda dealership "after 5 PM." A formal demand was sent April 16, 2026; manufacturer's reply on April 21, 2026 addressed only Lemon Law and ignored the disclosure violations. A Final Notice was issued May 8, 2026. I am filing concurrent complaints with FTC, CFPB, California Attorney General, California DMV, California Bureau of Automotive Repair, Arizona Attorney General, and Arizona MVD Dealer Fraud Investigations. A signed Consumer Complaint sworn under penalty of perjury is available on request INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
