Dallas police say a car dealer who finances his own sales has a pattern of illegally repossessing cars from buyers, including one Tesla that was “called in as repossessed six different times” in a single year.

 

The dealership is 101 Financial, LLC, off Joe Field Road and Harry Hines Boulevard, and its owner, Rafat Abu Alfilat, disputes the allegations, according to FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth.

 

The lot offers in-house financing, so the dealer holds the title until a car is paid off. That also means the dealer decides when a car gets taken back.
