  Sedgwick County DA vs Brandon Walker and Carlos Porter
  

  The following describes a government action that has been resolved by either a settlement or a decision by a court or administrative agency. If the matter is being appealed, it will be noted below.

  
  On September 29, 2023, owner Brandon Walker and former salesperson, Carlos Porter, entered into a consent judgment with the Office of the Sedgwick County District Attorney. The assurance settles allegations that Walker and Porter violated the Kansas Consumer Protection Act, after the DA investigated three separate consumer complaints regarding the purchase of the same vehicle from this dealership, formerly located at 1348 N. Cleveland St., Wichita, KS. The Consumer Protection Division (CPD) alleged Walker and Porter repeatedly sold a Mercedes without having title to the vehicle, improperly repossessed the vehicle and failed to disclose known defects as part of a consumer transaction. A consumer alleged the dealership improperly repossessed the Mercedes and forced him to sign an agreement voiding the sale. A second consumer complained after she purchased the same Mercedes and did not receive title or a refund. The third consumer complained after he too, purchased the Mercedes and did not receive title or a refund. An investigation by the CPD identified that Walker and Porter failed to tell the third consumer of known defects with the Mercedes.
  

  Under terms of the assurance, both Walker and Porter agreed to a 41-month probationary period with the CPD, during which they will be required to pay back $15,720 in restitution to the impacted consumers. The consent judgment also includes $60,000 in civil penalties as well as additional investigative expenses and court costs. The assurance was for settlement purposes only and should not be considered as an admission of guilt or finding of violation of the law.
