WINCHESTER, Va. (AP) — A state board has fined two used car dealers in the Winchester area for violations.
The Winchester Star (http://bit.ly/1pIE7SQ ) reports that the Virginia Motor Vehicle Dealer Board ordered Goldstar South in Frederick County to pay a $6,500 fine. D&S Imports in Winchester was fined $3,500.
A board inspection of Goldstar South found violations related to record-keeping, licensing of sales associates, business hours, misuse of temporary and dealer tags, and misuse of insurance and titles.
Board documents say the problems may have stemmed from the opening of a second location in 2008.
The board fined D&S Imports for not advertising as a dealer on Craigslist and not disclosing the amount of a processing fee on Craigslist.
D&S Imports owner Sosa Canzobre says a former salesperson was placing ads on Craigslist.
