Freehold Mitsubishi, Dairon Dip Fraudulent Practices Freehold NJ

If you're considering doing business with Dairon Dip, D Dip Automotive Group, or any of their associated dealerships like Freehold Mitsubishi, Park Place, Where Luxury Meets, NJ Auto Haus, Maserati of Monmouth, or Alfa Romeo of Monmouth, think twice. It starts with shopping for a vehicle on third-party sites where vehicle history reports are purposely hidden. The dealership will use bait and switch tactics to advertise false cars that do not exist. Numerous reports and personal experiences point to a disturbing pattern of fraudulent business practices that consumers must be aware of.

I contacted them to buy a BMW. They lied to me. I arrived at the dealership only to find out the vehicle was not there. They had me wait two hours to locate the car. In the end, they tried to sell me something completely different. 

Hiding CARFAX History Reports

We have discovered after the fact that vehicles sold as "clean" or "accident-free" had significant issues conveniently omitted from CARFAX reports. This deliberate concealment not only deceives buyers but also puts them at risk of purchasing unsafe vehicles. When asking my salesperson about the history report, I was consistently told not to worry because everything was clean and one owner. This is standard practice at NJ Auto Haus (also named Park Place, aka Where Luxury Meets).

Fake Vehicle Advertising

Another troubling incident involves advertising vehicles that do not exist. Using the same pictures of actual vehicles in stock, these dealerships reportedly create fake listings with fabricated VIN numbers. Shoppers are lured in by these "deals," only to find the vehicles mysteriously unavailable when they arrive at the dealership. This bait-and-switch tactic wastes time and erodes trust.

Deceptive Business Practices and Changing Corporate Names

To avoid accountability, these entities often change corporate names and rebrand themselves. Websites are set up with fake inventory, fictitious addresses, and misleading contact information, making it nearly impossible for dissatisfied customers to track them down or hold them accountable. What was initially called Park Place became Where Luxury Meets and, more recently, NJ Auto Hause. At the same time, the mastermind scammer behind this fraudulent business is Dairon Dip. Dairon Dip calls himself "Sam" and houses himself at the Freehold Mitsubishi location. Every time we tried to contact the dealership to discuss our concerns, a new manager was always put in front of us. They turn over people daily. 

We find many records of Dairon Dip and affiliate dealerships being sued.

We did not buy our BMW from them. We purchased a certified BMW from a BMW dealer and learned that we should avoid scam artists like NJ Auto Haus or Freehold Mitsubishi. We considered buying from them until we noticed they sent our credit information to banks that were not connected to the dealership. When I looked at my credit report, I noticed that.
